SAN JOSE \u2014 The San Jose Sharks have been hit with another injury to a key player as forward Tyler Toffoli<\/a> will be out for Saturday\u2019s game against the Philadelphia Flyers<\/a> \u2014 and probably longer \u2014 with a lower-body ailment.<\/p>\n

Toffoli left the Sharks\u2019 game against the Buffalo Sabres<\/a> on Thursday after the first period and did not return, as San Jose went on to lose 5-0 before an announced sellout crowd of 17,435 at SAP Center.<\/p>\n

Toffoli, now in his second season with the Sharks, is the team\u2019s third-leading scorer<\/a> with 44 points, including 18 goals, in 66 games. He plays on the Sharks\u2019 top power play unit and is eighth among all San Jose forwards in average time on ice (15:17).<\/p>\n

Sharks coach Ryan Warsofsky said Friday that Toffoli, 33, was being evaluated and that he might have some clarification on the winger\u2019s outlook on Saturday.<\/p>\n

\u201cVeteran guy, right? He\u2019s been around a long time, seen a lot of playoff hockey, and in these kinds of moments, he can really help your group move forward,\u201d Warsofsky said of Toffoli, a 14-year NHL veteran who won the Stanley Cup with the Los Angeles Kings in 2014. \u201cSo we\u2019re gonna miss him for a little bit here, but I think we have some guys that can fill in and help out, and he\u2019ll still be around.\u201d<\/p>\n

For Friday\u2019s practice at SAP Center, Warsofsky had Philipp Kurashev join the Sharks\u2019 top line alongside Macklin Celebrini and Will Smith. Kurashev, with 20 points in 41 games this season, was a healthy scratch for the Sharks\u2019 last two games, including their 5-3 loss to the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The Sharks right now are also dealing with injuries to No. 1 goalie Yaroslav Askarov (lower body), winger Igor Chernyshov (upper body), and center Ty Dellandrea (lower body).<\/p>\n

Askarov and Chernyshov both skated apart from the team on Friday, but it remains unclear when either player might begin practicing with the team. For the second straight day, Dellandrea skated with the Sharks during Friday\u2019s practice wearing an orange non-contact jersey. He remains week-to-week, Warsofsky said.<\/p>\n

The Sharks entered Friday in 11th place in the Western Conference with 70 points, two points back of the Los Angeles Kings for the second wild card spot in the Western Conference. The Sharks are also one point behind both the Seattle Kraken and the Nashville Predators.<\/p>\n

After Saturday, the Sharks will have 14 games remaining, starting with a three-game road trip that includes stops in Nashville. St. Louis and Columbus.<\/p>\n
