Wingels skating on fourth at #SjSharks morning skate.
Wingels was a healthy scratch during Saturday's game after only posting one assist through his first two games. He could find his way out of the lineup once Martin Havlat returns.
Line Change
McLellan didn’t spell out which player Wingels would be replacing, but it’s clear that Michal Handzus and Torrey Mitchell fill two slots — and that would leave Jamie McGinn as the odd man out, for now at least.
Wingels will get a shot on the third line after mostly centering the fourth line last season. Last season he played five games with the Sharks with a minus-1 rating. After scoring 17 goals last season for the Worchester Sharks, Wingels could pot a few goals on the third line.
