Michael Misa is day-to-day with an injury.

The San Jose Sharks second-overall pick will miss the start of Team Canada’s World Junior Championships camp and is rehabbing in San Jose. Misa is still expected to join the team’s training camp. Canada’s tournament begins on Dec. 26 against Czechia.

Michael Misa remains in San Jose and is listed as day-to-day. He is expected to join the team during training camp.

This is tough news for Misa, who recently joined the San Jose Barracuda after missing over a month with an ankle injury. In two AHL games, Misa had one assist.

The 18-year-old center played in just seven games with the San Jose Sharks, totaling a goal and two assists. After the WJC, it is unclear if Misa will return to San Jose or be returned to the OHL’s Saginaw Spirit.

Hopefully, Misa can return to form against junior competition later this month.
