Holy road trip, Batman! The floundering Sharks have a hellish schedule for Week 9. If that wasn’t bad enough, their scorers will face some stingy defenses. Still, you don’t want to overreact to schedule, especially when you’ve got four games to play with. Keep all of the Thorntons, Heatleys and Marleaus in your lineup for this week, and give San Jose’s next tier of players some consideration as well.
