Status report
Neither team held a morning skate. … Lankinen, a goalie, did not accompany the Canucks for the start of their four-game road trip because of personal reasons. … Demko has been unavailable the past six games, but the goalie is on the trip. … Celebrini didn’t skate during Sharks practice on Thursday due to maintenance but will play. … Sharks coach Ryan Warsofsky said he hopes to get Skinner and Misa back at practice next Tuesday. Both forwards skated on their own on Thursday.
