Bishop in net tonight, likely Vasilevskiy tomorrow but not 100-percent, same 21 from Wed. take warmups tonight #tblightning

It’s already been stated and confirmed that Alex Shalock gets the start for the Sharks tonight. Martin Jones only faced 21 total shots last night though, so if Tampa Bay does stress or break Shalock, don’t be surprised if Jones relieves him.
21 skaters indicates Tyler Johnson, Nikita Nesterov and Cedric Paquette are all possible for the lineup… or at least for some extra skating, take your pick. Whomever doesn’t start tonight has an additional chance to be in the lineup tomorrow against Los Angeles being the fresher body (well, except if they’re recovering from injury), but as it’s already been suggested with Vasy — it’s not a guarantee they’ll be in the lineup tomorrow if they don’t make it tonight.
