The Sharks have activated forward Marty Havlat for Thursday’s game against the Nashville Predators.
Havlat has been on injured reserve since undergoing surgery to repair a partly torn hamstring tendon on Dec. 21 and the Sharks have been counting on his return for their stretch run and the post-season that may follow.
“He’s excited,” McLellan said of Havlat. “He’s been anxious to get back and I know our team is excited about having him back. They all believe he can make an impact.”
Havlat will start the game on a line with Patrick Marleau and Ryane Clowe. He is also expected to see time on the power play’s second unit.

They’re having a tough time for sure but they’re not dreadful. Enjoy your Jets.

I’m surprised he didn’t want to sit out a few days longer. Like until after the Detroit game, and Kronwall has already boarded the plane back to Detroit.

I see expectations are finally starting to come down in the bay. That’s a good thing. This team was booed on home ice during the first game of the playoffs, 2 years in a row.
