Carlson was not on the ice for the morning skate and is officially listed as a game-time decision for Wednesday's game vs. the Penguins. Carlson has been held without a point in four straight games but is third among defensemen with 42 points (10G / 32A) in 49 games.
Viel has played a limited role on the Sharks' fourth line in his limited action in 2021. He replaced Kevin Labanc on Monday but the two will swap spots on Wednesday with Labanc recovered from an undisclosed injury.
Mikheyev has missed the last two games but will be a game-time decision for the second straight contest. Mikheyev will skate on a line with Alexander Kerfoot and Wayne Simmonds if he does play.
Mikheyev was scratched Tuesday in Vancouver but could return to the lineup on Thursday. Mikheyev skated on the third line in the morning skate and comes in with one goal and three assists in his last six games.
Mikheyev will come out of the lineup Tuesday in Vancouver because of an undisclosed injury. With both Mikheyev and Zach Hyman out with injuries, look for Adam Brooks and Pierre Engvall to draw into the lineup.
