San Jose Sharks podcast Mary Lisa:

#1 The San Jose Sharks Igor Chernyshov’s returned to the Shark line up but got clobbered 30 seconds into the game when the Montreal Canadiens Mike Mahteson hit him in the neutral zone. The on ice officials tried to help him keep his balance but he fell to the ice and had to leave the game.

#2 Tough to get back with the big club Chernyshov has played in 16 NHL games and was recalled for this game as he was in the San Jose AHL affilate previous to getting promoted. Chernyshov was on the first line with Macklin Celebrini.

#3 Mary Lisa, great night for Macklin Celebrini who wound up with two goals and was the key player for the Sharks to keep them ahead of the Habs.

#4 The Sharks also got additional goals from Mike Ferraro and Colin Graf got goals an all around team effort to help build some offense against the Canadiens.

#5 The Sharks are in Ottawa to take on the Senators Sunday afternoon at 2:00pm PDT at the Canadian Tire Centre. The Senators have won four of their last five games their only loss in the thread was to these very same Canadiens with a loss to them Wednesday 3-2. How do you see this match up Sunday?
