Kevin Labanc will make his season debut Thursday vs. Boston.

Labanc had 15 goals, 18 assists, 129 SOG, 36 PIMs and a -17 plus/minus through 72 games in 2022-23 but has yet to see NHL action this season through San Jose's first three games. He will make his season debut Thursday as the Sharks take on Boston and is expected to play on San Jose's second line alongside Thomas Bordeleau and Filip Zadina.

Kevin Lebanc will be a healthy scratch for San Jose's season opener vs. Seattle.

Lebanc had 15 goals, 18 assists, 129 SOG, 36 PIMs and a -17 plus/minus through 72 games with San Jose in 2022-23 but will be a healthy scratch for their season opener Thursday vs. Seattle. The 27-year-old right-winger is entering his eighth NHL season and has 216 points in 432 career games with the Sharks. Fabian Zetterlund will take his spot on the Sharks' forth line ahead of San Jose's opener.

Labanc will be a healthy scratch for the second straight game.

Labanc will surprisingly head to the press box for a second straight contest as a healthy scratch Tuesday as San Jose takes on Tampa Bay. The 27-year-old has 10 goals, 15 assists, 83 SOG, 22 PIMs and a -3 plus/minus through 45 games played prior to his recent time off.

Kevin Labanc will be a healthy scratch for a second straight contest Wednesday vs. Dallas.

Labanc has 10 goals, 25 points, 79 SOG, 22 PIMs and a -4 plus/minus through 43 games this season but will be a healthy scratch for a second straight contest as the Sharks take on Dallas. Labanc is expected to return to the lineup sooner rather than later.

The Sharks have re-signed Kevin Labanc to a four-year deal worth $18.9 million ($4.725M AAV).

Labanc was an RFA after his one-year bridge deal expired and earned a big raise from $1.0M AAV to $4.725M over the next four years. Labanc enjoyed a breakout season in 2019 but his numbers dropped off in 2020. There was no way he was going to maintain the 13.1 SH% from 2019 but his on-ice SH% plummeted to 6.6%, so expect his assist total to bounce-back in 2021.
