Sharks’ Klingberg Takes a Seat After Miscue; Will Roster Spot Be Available for Young Center?

Coach Ryan Warsofsky benched John Klingberg after a defensive mistake in a 3-2 loss to the Senators, opting to play rookie Sam Dickinson on the second night of a back-to-back.

  • Sunday, San Jose Sharks coach Ryan Warsofsky scratched defenseman John Klingberg for the Bruins game at SAP Center and put rookie Sam Dickinson into the lineup to get fresh legs.
  • Warsofsky cited Klingberg's late miscue, which led to his benching at SAP Center, despite Klingberg's earlier power-play goal, affecting the Sharks' lineup decisions.
  • The Sharks' depth on defense gives Warsofsky difficult lineup choices as John Klingberg, despite scoring a power-play goal, had been a healthy scratch earlier, and veteran Nick Leddy was scratched for a third straight game with eight available defensemen dressed.
  • After Jeff Skinner's Nov. 13 injury, the Sharks recalled Zack Ostapchuk from the Barracuda, but Warsofsky said Ostapchuk could return to the AHL as Skinner and Michael Misa progress.
  • The Sharks open a taxing week with a Wednesday trip to Colorado, facing Vancouver Friday and Vegas Saturday, while Vincent Iorio finishes a conditioning loan and injured forwards may return next week.
