Bruins forward Shawn Thornton will return to the lineup after his 15 game suspension. He will take his usual spot on the fourth line. Loui Eriksson is a game time decision and if he plays he will slot in on the third line.

Defenseman Johnny Boychuk will miss the game due to personal reasons.

The Sharks are 16-1-3 in their 20 games at SAP Center this season. The Bruins have already lost the first two games on their Canadian road trip, so it will not be an easy task for the Bruins to win the game.
