Emberson (upper body) will return to the Sharks' lineup Saturday vs. Buffalo.

Emberson has been out since January 9th due to an upper-body injury but will return Saturday as San Jose takes on Buffalo in an afternoon matinee.

Pickard will start Thursday vs. Chicago.

Pickard has been limited to only one game in the last nine for the Oilers but will return to the crease on Thursday against the Chicago Blackhawks. The lack of play hasn't been an indictment on Pickard's play but rather a testament to Stuart Skinner's, as Pickard has been stellar when called upon, allowing three or fewer goals in his last three games (3-0-0), posting a serviceable .904 SV%. The Oilers, winners of 14 straight, are gargantuan -601 home favourites against a Blackhawks club defeated 6-2 by the Seattle Kraken last night.
