The Sharks enter Thursday's contest as +171 road underdogs against a Blues club with points in six of their last seven (5-1-1).

San Jose has placed Valtteri Pulli on unconditional waivers for the process of contract termination.

Pulli requested to play in Europe so both parties have mutually agreed to terminate his contract. The 23-year-old Pulli is an undrafted defenseman that made his North American debut last season, scoring 10 points (3G / 7A) in 59 games with the San Jose Barracuda (AHL).

Kovalenko will make his Sharks debut on Tuesday.

Kovalenko will make his Sharks debut after being acquired in a trade from the Colorado Avalanche yesterday. The 25-year-old Kovalenko showed glimpses of the talent that made him an offensive standout with Nizhny Novgorod Torpedo (KHL), but limited deployment in Colorado likely stunted the opportunity for true success. In 28 games, Kovalenko has eight points (4G / 4A) and will likely get an opportunity for better deployment in his new home with the Sharks.
