Fortunately, Dickinson had his parents to lean on to talk about other things, besides hockey.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That was a good reset for Dickinson, who\u2019s going to make his season debut on Monday night at the Dallas Stars.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019m not going to try to do too much to prove a point or anything like that,\u201d Dickinson said today. \u201cI\u2019m just happy to be in the line-up.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dickinson will pair with Jacob Trouba, ahead of Allan.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">San Jose Sharks head coach Ryan Warsofsky is looking for Dickinson to keep trending up. The 2024 No. 11 pick closed the pre-season with a strong performance against the Vegas Golden Knights. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBuild off his last game there in the exhibition. He was dialed in without the puck,\u201d Warsofsky said, \u201cand when he has it, let\u2019s have his strengths come out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s what Dickinson wants too: \u201cI\u2019m not trying to be someone that I am [not]. Bring my game, do the things that I\u2019ve always done well, it\u2019s moving my feet, defending hard, being good moving the puck, get it up ice, and just kind of go from there.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>San Jose Sharks (2-0-0)<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yaroslav Askarov will start his third-straight.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The San Jose Sharks, except for Dickinson, ran similar 5-on-5 and power play lines during morning skate:<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Marchment-Celebrini-Smith<br \/>Chernyshov-Misa-Toffoli<br \/>Stenberg-Wennberg-Graf<br \/>Goodrow-Ostapchuk-Sherwood<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nurse-Kesselring<br \/>Dickinson-Trouba<br \/>Orlov-Cagnoni<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Askarov<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here\u2019s how they looked on the power play\u2026<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">PP1: Cagnoni-Celebrini-Smith-Chernyshov-Wennberg<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">PP2: Orlov-Marchment-Stenberg-Toffoli-Misa<\/p>\n<p>Dallas Stars (0-2-0)<\/p>\n<p lang=\"fi\" dir=\"ltr\">Expecting these lines tonight: <\/p>\n<p>Robertson-Hintz-Benn<br \/>Steel-Johnston-Rantanen<br \/>Hryckowian-Hyry-Seguin<br \/>B\u00e4ck-Faksa-Kiviranta<\/p>\n<p>Lindell-Heiskanen<br \/>Harley-Lundkvist<br \/>Bichsel-Myers<\/p>\n<p>Oettinger<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Robert Tiffin (@RobertTiffin) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/RobertTiffin\/status\/2107147528173216062?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\">October 5, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Where To Watch<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"DALLAS \u2014 Sam Dickinson\u2019s parents, Steve and Megan, were in town for the San Jose Sharks\u2019 opening weekend.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":679486,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5127],"tags":[21405,147,5,5559,4,1128,748,1196,519,168,5306,5305,1780],"class_list":["post-679485","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-jose-sharks","tag-2026-27","tag-dallas-stars","tag-hockey","tag-lines","tag-nhl","tag-preview","tag-ryan-warsofsky","tag-sam-dickinson","tag-san-jose","tag-san-jose-sharks","tag-sanjose","tag-sanjosesharks","tag-sharks"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nhl\/117389765079593823","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/679485","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=679485"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/679485\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/679486"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=679485"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=679485"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=679485"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
