The San Jose Sharks are starting a road trip with the Toronto Maple Leafs on Tuesday night at the Air Canada Centre and the Sharks who have lost their last two of three games are in need for the return of Marc Edouard-Vlasic is day to day with a lower body injury. Without him it would be an interesting four game trip back to the east coast. The Sharks are going to hit Toronto on Tuesday, Ottawa on Wednesday, Montreal on Friday and Chicago on Saturday. All challenging teams and considering some of the injuries the Sharks have could make this trip eventful.
