Per head coach Ryan Warsofsky, Granlund, Ceci, and Wennberg should be available to play against the New Jersey Devils tomorrow night.

William Eklund participated fully in practice and wasn't ruled out for tomorrow night's matchup. Eklund has been out since he got hurt in the first period of the Dec. 23 game against the Vancouver Canucks. He's missed four games.

Nico Sturm was ruled as a game-time decision with a lower-body injury. Sturm blocked a shot off his foot in the first period the San Jose Sharks 2-1 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning last night. He would return to the game.

"He's playing well right now. I think he's playing some of his best hockey. So if he can't go, it'll be a tough loss," Warsofsky said about Sturm. "But we have some guys that can slide into the middle that have done it before. Everything's a little bit up in the air right now."

Jake Walman skated on his own before practice for the second straight day. Warsofsky said he needed to check in with the training staff before getting a clearer timeline.
