San Jose will use the same lineup from its first two games, one-goal wins against the Anaheim Ducks and Columbus Blue Jackets, which means goaltender Martin Jones will make his third straight start. Jones has allowed three goals on 50 shots in winning his first two starts. He has a 1.50 goals-against average and .940 save percentage. Sharks coach Peter DeBoer said he expects rookie goalie Aaron Dell to make his NHL debut against the New York Islanders at Barclays Center on Tuesday. The Sharks have five goals on 69 shots, including two goals on the power play, in the first two games. DeBoer said he'd like to see his players bear down more on scoring chances in order to give Jones a bigger cushion to work with. "I'm confident it's going to happen," he said. "We're getting a lot of good looks." DeBoer said he felt the Sharks were "sloppy with the lead" in their 3-2 win against the Blue Jackets on Saturday. The Sharks had a 2-0 lead and a 29-14 edge in shots on goal through the first two periods, but they were outscored 2-1 and outshot 14-9 in the third. "I think we've created enough chances through the first two games to get three or four a night," DeBoer said. "Those will eventually go in. You're not going to keep some of the guys off the scoresheet that have been off so far for us." The Sharks' top line of Joe Pavelski, Joe Thornton and Tomas Hertl have combined for no goals and two assists.
