Sharks update: Two forwards likely out for season, Quinn on Bordeleau, and finishing a dreadful year at home

NHL: San Jose Sharks wingers Andreas Johnsson and Alexander Barabanov will likely not play again this season, coach David Quinn said before Saturday's game with the Edmonton Oilers

SAN JOSE – Injured forwards Andreas Johnsson and Alexander Barabanov will likely not play again this season, Sharks coach David Quinn said Saturday morning before his team played the Edmonton Oilers in its final home game of the season.

Johnsson hasn’t played since March 20 when he blocked a shot by defenseman Darnell Nurse in the second period of the Sharks’ road game against the Oilers. Barabanov’s last game was March 25 against the Calgary Flames.

Winger Oskar Lindblom was initially considered day-to-day after he was injured in the Sharks’ game with the Vegas Golden Knights on March 30, but will miss his fourth straight game Saturday. Quinn said the Sharks will know more about Lindblom’s potential availability for the team’s upcoming road trip after he completes an off-ice workout Saturday.

The Sharks close out the regular season next week with road games in Winnipeg, Calgary, and Edmonton.

Barabanov, in the first year of a two-year, $5 million contract, has 47 points in 68 games this season after he was injured for the first four games of the year.

“Obviously, we missed him early in the first few games and he came back and give us a jolt offensively,” Quinn said of Barabanov. “He’s got great hockey sense and puck protection skills and a guy that can create some offense.”

QUINN ON BORDELEAU: Bordeleau will play his fifth game with the Sharks this season on Saturday. In four NHL games since his recall from the Barracuda late last month. Bordeleau has one assist, three shots on net, and has averaged 17:18 of ice time per game.

The Sharks are 2-1-1 with Bordeleau in the lineup but lost 4-3 to Colorado in overtime on Tuesday and were flattened 6-2 by the defending Stanley Cup champion Avalanche on Thursday.

“I thought he got off to a good start,” Quinn said of Bordeleau. “I thought, a lot like our team the other night, he wasn’t as sharp as he was the night before. Looking for him to get back to what he was doing his first few games here.”

Which was?

“I thought there was more pace to his game, not just from an offensive perspective, but I thought there was an alertness to him,” Quinn said. “I thought there was anticipation in his game and I liked the direction his game was going. Not just him, I thought overall our team didn’t quite have the pace or the edge that we had that first game against Colorado.”

FINISHING AT HOME: The Sharks are an NHL-worst 8-21-11 at home this season, the team’s poorest mark at SAP Center over a full season since the team moved into the building in 1993. The Sharks went 12-26-3 at home in 1995-96. The team’s worst-ever record at home came in 1992-93 when the Sharks played at the Cow Palace in Daly City, and went 8-33-1.

The Sharks are 14-19-5 on the road this season. A sellout crowd, or close to it, is anticipated Saturday.

“We haven’t played different at home than we have on the road, despite what the record says,” Quinn said. “We’ve found crazy ways to lose at home and at the end of games and it’s just been it’s been unfortunate because you want to reward your fan base and play well and hard in front of them, which I think we have for the most part. We just haven’t got the results that we wanted. It’s frustrating.”
