Sharks vs. Capitals: When will Romanov start, message for Ostapchuk, lineup changes
SAN JOSE – Those waiting for goalie Georgi Romanov to make his first career start for the San Jose Sharks might not have to wait much longer.
Sharks coach Ryan Warsofsky said Saturday that he might give Romanov a start sometime during this homestand, which continues for two more weeks. After Saturday, the Sharks’ next home games come later next week as they host the Carolina Hurricanes on Thursday and the Boston Bruins on March 22.
The homestand wraps up the following week with games against the Toronto Maple Leafs on March 27 and the New York Rangers on March 29.
Romanov, a pending restricted free agent, made two relief appearances for the Sharks at the end of last season, stopping 29 of 30 shots in games against the Edmonton Oilers and Calgary Flames.
“I think so. We’ll see,” Warsofsky said about starting Romanov. “We’ll get through today. We have four days until our next game.”
Romanov, 25, joined the Sharks roster on March 5 after fellow goalie Vitek Vanecek on March 5 to the Florida Panthers. He’s had a steady diet of practices with the Sharks ever since, but had not gotten into a game as veteran Alexandar Georgiev has played every minute since the deal.
Saturday’s game against Alexander Ovechkin and the Washington Capitals marked Georgiev’s seventh consecutive start dating back to March 3. In the previous six games, Georgiev is 3-3-0 with a .870 save percentage.
LINEUP CHANGES: Eight days after he was acquired from the Ottawa Senators, Zack Ostapchuk is making his Sharks debut Saturday and will start on the fourth line with Klim Kostin and Barclay Goodrow.
With Ostapchuk going in, Nikolai Kovalenko will come out of the lineup and Carl Grundstrom will be a healthy scratch for the second straight game,
At 6-foot-4 and 212 pounds, Ostapchuk said Friday that he wanted to come out and lay the body early in Saturday’s game. That’s fine with Warsofsky, who wants the 21-year-old to play to his identity.
“I think he knows what that is, and we’ll work through the mistakes,” Warsofsky said. “It’s a game of mistakes. I’m sure he’ll make some structure-wise, with some new structure that he’s learning. But I want him to go out there and compete and play to his ability of what his identity is, and we’ll correct mistakes as we go.”
Kovalenko returned to the Sharks’ lineup on March 6 after missing nine games with an injury. In the four games since, Kovalenko has had one goal, one shot, three hits, and one blocked shot, with five giveaways, while averaging just under 11 minutes of ice time per game.
Kovalenko needs to regain the puck-hunting and forechecking style he had when the Sharks first acquired him in December.
“When you don’t have your ‘A’ game,” Warsofsky said, “what does your ‘B’ and ‘C’ game look like? How are you impacting the game in different ways? Are you being disruptive on the forecheck? Are you being physical, good defensively, blocking shots? You can’t just have one game. You have to have a couple different areas of your game that you can impact and help our hockey team.
“That’s not just (Kovalenko). That’s a lot of young players that come into this league.”

Mick Cronin and the No. 12 UCLA Bruins officially tip off the highly-anticipated 2025-26 season against the Big Sky’s Eastern Washington Eagles.
Backed by UCLA’s star-studded transfer portal addition of Donovan Dent, the Bruins’ ceiling is higher than it’s been in recent season, and yet Westwood still has its fair share of doubters.
The Bruins also have some key returners, like Tyler Bilodeau, Eric Dailey Jr. and Skyy Clark, who are all primed to elevate their games next to Dent.
With that being said, let’s get into our first UCLA men’s basketball preview of the season.
UCLA is the start of EWU’s gauntlet non-conference schedule, which includes the Bruins, Washington State, Utah and No . 8 BYU.
The Eagles’ leading scorer from last season, Andrew Cook, returns this season. Cook averaged 15.8 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game.
This is the second time the Bruins are matching up with Eastern Washington all time. The last matchup came during the 2011-12 season when UCLA beat the Eagles 60-47 in the Los Angeles Sports Arena.
What: UCLA Bruins vs. Eastern Washington Eagles
When: Monday, Nov. 3
Time: 7:30 p.m. (PT)
Where: Pauley Pavilion (Westwood, California)
TV: Big Ten Network
Radio: AM 790 (KABC)
1. Donovan Dent, PG
What more is there to say about Dent? The 2024-25 All-American was one of, if not the, most impactful transfers of the offseason, and he is poised to raise Cronin’s offensive ceiling this year.
The elite playmaking guard showed flashes of his impact in UCLA’s two preseason exhibition games, where, despite struggling from the field, showed the poised scoring and facilitating ability that drew Cronin’s eyes to him.
Against an opponent like Eastern Washington, elite guards like Dent can really flex their guns. Look for Dent to set up his teammates more rather than trying to get his own bucket on Monday.
2. Eric Dailey Jr., Forward
Dailey is one of UCLA’s most impactful returners, and he’s primed for a big season next to Dent. He averaged 11.4 points and 4.0 rebounds in 33 games last year, showing flashes of his potential as a scorer.
Ahead of this season, Dailey has been named to the 20-person watch list for the Julius Erving Small Forward of the Year award. Dailey’s scoring is integral to UCLA’s success. Last season, the Bruins were 16-2 when he scored at least 10 points in a game.
Dent elevates the players around him. Don’t be surprised if we see a leap year for Dailey.

Juvenile curfew declared in Washington DC; Mayor Muriel Bowser announces nighttime curfew after Halloween ruckus | Today News
Juvenile curfew order was imposed in Washington DC on Saturday after Halloween evening misbehaviour. Executive Office of Washington DC Mayor on November 1 announced restrictions on movement of those below 18 during nighttime over the next few days, in the wake of disorderly behaviour in the past weeks.
The decision follows Halloween-related incidents where young people engaged in brawling, blocked streets and endangered public safety. “The behavior on Halloween evening – which included young people brawling, blocking streets, and moving into commercial establishments in large groups, endangering both themselves and others in the area – follows several weekends of similar behavior by youth in neighborhoods across the District,” the notice issued by Mayor Muriel Bowser states.
Curfew time: From 11:00 PM till 6:00 AM
Curfew last date: November 5
‘All juveniles are subject to a curfew’
Muriel Bowser in a post on X stated, “We are declaring a limited juvenile curfew in Washington, DC. Effective immediately, all juveniles under the age of 18 are subject to a curfew from 11PM until 6AM, which will extend through 11/5.”
Clarifying the reason for the curfew, Muriel Bowser added, “This is in response to several weeks of disorderly juvenile behavior which endangered both themselves and others.”
This comes after five youth were arrested on October 31 by the police and one officer suffered minor injuries. Besides the curfew, the police will designate special zones which are at high risk for disorderly conduct. These locations will have longer curfew times, beginning as early as 6:00 PM.
Furthermore, the notice warns the youths against declaration of temporary curfew zone in case of a group gathering of more than seven youth citing threat to “safety of the youth, residents, or the public.”

On Saturday night, Chief of Police Pamela A Smith announced several of the above mentioned “Special Juvenile Curfew Zones” as specified here:
