NHL: Thomas Bordeleau’s lower-body injury could have a ripple effect throughout the San Jose Sharks’ lineup
Scott Sabourin #49 of the San Jose Sharks and Travis Howe #88 of the Anaheim Ducks exchange punches in a fight during the first period of a preseason game at SAP Center on Sept. 24, 2024 in San Jose, California. SAN JOSE – Thomas Bordeleau’s lower-body injury could have a ripple effect throughout the San Jose Sharks’ lineup, particularly in the competition for one of the team’s final few roster spots.
On Tuesday, some NHL hopefuls tried to make a case for themselves in what became a 4-3 loss to the Ducks before an announced crowd of 9,462 at SAP Center. Things figure to get a little tougher from here for all players competing for a spot on the roster as opposing teams start to dress more NHL regulars in games. Anaheim’s lineup Tuesday mainly featured players who will start the season in the AHL.Top prospect Will Smith’s vision and playmaking ability were on display in the first two periods, as he set up winger Tyler Toffoli for quality scoring chances at even strength and on the power play.
Having a six-time Selke Trophy winner a phone call away figures to be a pretty valuable resource for an offensive wizard like Smith, who faced questions about his two-way game in his draft year. He also knows it’ll be a work in progress as he starts to compete against some of the best centers in the world, particularly in the Pacific Division.
