Optional practice for the Sharks this morning, with a lot of the regulars opting to excuse themselves from the ice. Starting to get the impression that much of the mornings from here down the stretch will be of the optional variety. Still, all of the players are in attendance at the arena to get treatments, review video, attend meetings, etc.The Dallas Stars are also holding an optional skate this morning. They are the second straight opponent the Sharks will face on the latter half of a back-to-back.
