NO NEWS Means GOOD NEWS for Will Smith as San Jose Sharks Remain Quiet On Extent Of Injury

San Jose Sharks face mounting injuries as Will Smith’s recovery remains a mystery—could a return before the Olympic break reignite their playoff ambitions? JD Young spotlights Smith’s progress, the impact of his absence on the Sharks’ offense, and crucial updates on Collin Graf, Philipp Kurashev, and Timothy Liljegren. Are the Sharks poised for a breakthrough once their stars hit the ice again?

Key insights center on improved team processes, a recent 1-2 record, and how Macklin Celebrini is carrying the top line through adversity. Breaking down strategic shifts, potential line changes if Graff misses time, and trade considerations for Knyazev, JD Young weighs whether recent strong showings against teams like Dallas and Seattle signal sustainable success. Can the San Jose Sharks translate promising play into vital wins as the schedule intensifies?

  2. Eklund and Chernyshov both had to have corrective shoulder surgery to stabilize their shoulders…possibly from returning to hockey too soon when they were in the SHL and KHL respectively. The more rest the better for Smith.

  3. If we get to <= 20 shots against, we might win some games…. whoever is the D-coach, they need to rework this system for our poor goalies!! 😰 maybe challenge more / stand up at the blue line with your partner behind you to grab the dump-in’s 😮‍💨
