Lund was a second-round pick of the San Jose Sharks in the 2022 NHL Entry Draft, but he has yet to make a full-time mark at the NHL level. The 22-year-old forward scored three points (2G / 1A) last season in 11 games with the Sharks.

Barre-Boulet has 19 points (12G / 7A) in 72 career NHL games, but has spent most of his time in the AHL. The 29-year-old forward scored 70 points (26G / 44A) last season in 70 games with the Colorado Eagles (AHL).

Yaroslav Askarov's start to the season has been underwhelming, posting an ugly 3.99 GAA and .848 SV% in five games (2-3-0), which makes Nedeljkovic's lack of action this season somewhat surprising. The 30-year-old Nedeljkovic was excellent in his only outing this season, saving 24 of 26 shots (.923 SV%) in a 3-2 overtime win over the St. Louis Blues. The Sharks enter Thursday as +121 road underdogs against a Nashville Predators team that has lost three of its last four (1-3-0).

The 24-year-old goalie allowed three goals on 17 shots (.850 SV%) in his most recent outing, a 3-1 loss to the Edmonton Oilers. He has a 3.71 GAA and .860 SV% in four games (2-2-0).
