The San Jose Sharks are holding Luke Kunin out from the line-up for trade purposes. Notably, line-up fixture Kunin did not participate in early line rushes in the Sharks’ morning skate on Thursday.

In their place during Saturday’s morning skate, the Sharks had winger Klim Kostin in Zetterlund’s spot on a line with Macklin Celebrini and Will Smith, goalie Georgi Romanov backing up Alexandar Georgiev, and newcomer Patrick Giles in Sturm’s old spot as the fourth-line center.

With one day left before the NHL trade deadline, the San Jose Sharks will reportedly hold Luke Kunin out of their lineup Thursday for their game against the Colorado Avalanche at Ball Arena in Denver.
