Sharks' Dylan DeMelo: Continues to serve as healthy scratch
Demelo has been a healthy scratch for each of the Sharks' six games this season.
Analysis:
The 23-year-old rearguard cracked the big club out of training camp but has yet to throw on a jersey for game action. Demelo's extended time in the press box is likely due to a combination of the Sharks being healthy on the blue line, as well as the fact that David Schlemko -- who signed with San Jose last summer -- has taken over the sixth defense slot that Demelo occupied for 45 games last year. He only managed four points during that span, so even once he gets a chance to hit the ice, his fantasy value is negligible.
