Overview
- San Jose confirmed Dec. 3 that Michael Misa is on long-term injured reserve and has been loaned to the Barracuda for a conditioning stint.
- Jeff Skinner remains on injured reserve and will not play Wednesday against the Capitals.
- The Sharks carry 23 active players, so activating Skinner would require a corresponding assignment to the Barracuda to open a roster spot.
- Coach Ryan Warsofsky did not specify the length of Misa’s stint, with Hockey Canada’s World Juniors timeline approaching (roster Dec. 8, camp Dec. 12).
- Defenseman Vincent Desharnais is week-to-week with an upper-body injury, and center Alexander Wennberg is questionable after missing practice.
