Look for Vandermeer-Demers in lineup tonight -- only the second time this season the former goes in consecutive games for #SJSharks.

Demers stays in the lineup for tonight's game. The Dorval, Quebec native scored his first goal of the season, earning another game.

By all indications, Bruan will sit while Demers will be paired with White even though Todd McLellan would not confirm anything.

Demers has played in only seven of the Sharks 15 games after playing in 75 tilts last year. In those seven he registered only two assists which is unproductive for an offensive d-man.

So why would McLellan pick this game, facing the high-powered Red Wing offense, to test the Demers-Braun combination?

Demers figures to return to the lineup tonight against the offense-heavy Red Wings. Through his first five games he registered two assists with the club. Expect him to play a better two-way game upon his return.

For example, among the last players on the ice were Torrey Mitchell, Jason Demers and Colin White. Half their teammates were back at the hotel before they came off.

Look for Demers to be a healthy scratch for the second consecutive game. Through five games this season, the Dorval, Quebec produced two assists with a minus-4 rating.

Braun will be in lineup for #SJSharks and educated guess says Demers will sit.

Demers, Colin White or Marc Eduoard Vlasic could sit tonight in favor for Braun. Considering the recent callup is a more offensive player, Demers sounds like the most logical choice to sit.
