Sabourin was a healthy scratch the last two games and will return to the San Jose Barracuda of the AHL. In three games with the Sharks, Sabourin has been held off the scoresheet but has three shots and 10 hits.
Dellandrea played his first game in three weeks on Saturday and recorded one assist in 15:01 time-on-ice, but returned to being a healthy scratch on Sunday. On Tuesday, he will draw back into the lineup and play on the fourth line with Radek Faksa and Sam Steel.
Couture is expected to return to the Sharks roster and make his season debut Saturday vs Anaheim which will provide a sizeable boost given that Mikael Granlund will be out of the lineup week-to-week due to an upper-body injury. The 34-year-old was originally only expected to miss a few games to start the season but badly reaggravated his injury and has missed the Sharks' first 45 games. He is coming off a 67-point (27G/40A) season in 2022-23 and hasn't played less than 48 games in a season since 2009-10.

Duehr has semi-regularly been a fixture in the Flames lineup this season but has been placed on waivers Wednesday afternoon. In 19 games this season, Duehr has four points (1G / 3A) and 25 hits while averaging 7:58 time-on-ice.
Duehr will take the place of Jonathan Huberdeau, who will be out with an illness. Duehr has one goal and three assists in 18 games this season.
Georgiev will get the night off completely on Tuesday as Ivan Prosvetov will back up Justus Annunen. Georgiev was disappointing in Monday's game against the Habs, allowing four goals on 34 shots enroute to a 4-3 defeat.
Georgiev is riding a three-game winning streak and will return to the crease on Monday against the Montreal Canadiens. In his last eight games (7-1-0), Georgiev has held the opposition to three or fewer goals six times, posting a .899 SV%. As evident from his season totals, Georgiev should continue to regular record victories but will likely have a pedestrian save percentage on most nights. Georgiev and the Avalanche are sizeable -197 road favourites on Monday.
