San Jose Sharks podcast Mary Lisa:

#1 How can Macklin Celebrini’s speed and shot‑volume help the Sharks challenge Colorado’s defence and spark their transition game?

#2 With veteran forward Tyler Toffoli in the lineup, how might the Sharks lean on his experience to create scoring chances against a top‐tier team like the Avalanche?

#3 On the back end, how will John Klingberg and his right‑shot defence partner adapt their breakout strategy to match Colorado’s speed and puck‑movement?

#4 What role is likely for newcomer Jeff Skinner in the Sharks’ top‑six, and how might he exploit the Avalanche’s weaknesses near the net or on the power‑play?

#5 Between the pipes, if Alex Nedeljkovic gets the start, what mental and tactical adjustments will he need to make facing a high‐scoring Colorado offence to give San Jose a chance?
