US EditionSharks could be without veteran defenseman vs. New York Rangers
- Defenseman Vincent Desharnais is questionable for the San Jose Sharks' Saturday game against the New York Rangers due to an upper-body injury.
- Desharnais, who was acquired by the Sharks from the Pittsburgh Penguins on March 5, is dealing with an upper-body injury that he played through in the Sharks' 6-5 shootout victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs on Thursday.
- Despite playing through the injury on Thursday, Desharnais' ice time was limited to 13:18, significantly less than his average of over 17 minutes since joining the team, during which he recorded three blocked shots and one hit.
- Coach Ryan Warsofsky acknowledged Desharnais is playing through a tough injury, and although Mario Ferraro, Barclay Goodrow, and Tyler Toffoli also did not practice Friday, they are expected to play, leaving uncertainty about who would replace Desharnais in the lineup if he is unable to play.
- With Vlasic also recovering from an upper-body injury and having missed the last three games, and Rutta still further away from returning from a lower-body injury, Warsofsky mentioned Vlasic as a potential option to play either Saturday or Sunday against the Kings, as the Sharks, currently two points behind the Chicago Blackhawks, are 3-4-0 on their eight-game homestand and will face the Ducks in Anaheim on Tuesday after Sunday's game.
