Alexander Wennberg Returns In Second-Line Role
15 seconds agoSan Jose Sharks center Alexander Wennberg (upper body) will return from a four-game absence on Sunday against the Calgary Flames. The Sharks plan to use him alongside Fabian Zetterlund and Will Smith on the second line. Wennberg has averaged slightly below 0.5 points per game this season, boasting eight goals and 15 assists in 52 games. He has seen a lot of action as the third-line center, and a move up in the lineup may improve Wennberg's productivity on the offensive end. The Swedish forward is also expected to join the second power-play unit. On Sunday, Nico Sturm (lower body) will be another addition to the Sharks' attacking unit. He will skate on the third line after missing the previous eight games.
