The Sharks could be getting a significant amount of reinforcements back from injury during their upcoming roadtrip. Injured defenseman Shakir Mukhamadullin and Vinny Desharnais, along with forward Will Smith, will be travelling with the team.
Will Smith appears to be the closest to returning as he is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Capitals. Smith would be a huge boost for the Sharks' offense. The 20-year-old forward has been a fixture on the top line and has 29 points in 33 games playing alongside Macklin Celebrini. The Sharks haven’t necessarily missed a beat without Smith offensively.
