Trevor van Riemsdyk is out Tuesday for the birth of his child.

van Riemsdyk and his wife are expecting their first child meaning the 31-year-old will be doubtful to play Tuesday as the team takes on Columbus. If forced to miss the game, it will be his first missed of the 2022-23 season, which has been a breakout of sorts for the defenseman, who has a career-high seven goals, 23 points, and a +11 plus/minus through 71 games so far this season.

The Sharks have acquired Brandon Davidson from the Flames for future considerations.

Davidson has split his campaign between the NHL and AHL, picking up 20 points (3G / 17A) in 34 games with Stockton. During his time in the NHL he had no points in seven games, giving him just 23 points (9G / 14A) in 169 career games with the Oilers, Canadiens, Islanders, Blackhawks and Flames. Now he heads to his sixth team where it's unclear whether he'll report to the NHL or AHL.
