Sharks' Nick Spaling: Will play Wednesday

Spaling will make his Sharks debut Wednesday, skating on the fourth line, reports Kevin Kurz of CSN Bay Area.

Spaling was acquired in a trade Monday and will be skating alongside Dainius Zubrus and Chris Tierney. While that's not a promising spot for his production, coach Peter DeBoer mentioned Wednesday that he believes Spaling can play up the lineup when he gets comfortable. He may not be a great play right now, but he could be worth keeping an eye on if he climbs the depth chart.
