San Jose Sharks defensemen John Klingberg and Timothy Liljegren are both day-to-day with injuries
San Jose Sharks’ Timothy Liljegren takes a shot against Vegas Golden Knights’ Pavel Dorofeyev in the first period at the SAP Center in San Jose, Calif., on Thursday, Oct. 9, 2025. After two close losses, San Jose Sharks take big step back in key areasWhy Hurricanes coach feels Dmitry Orlov will be a fit with San Jose SharksSharks update: Misa to debut, Smith’s injury, and Warsofsky’s blunt message Klingberg is dealing with a lower-body injury, and Liljegren, another right-shot defenseman, has an upper-body ailment, said Sharks coach Ryan Warsofsky, who added that Klingberg’s injury does not involve his resurfaced hips.
Klingberg hado the Carolina Hurricanes at SAP Center on Tuesday, Warsofsky said. Klingberg did not play the final 5:12 of regulation time, and Liljegren did not take a shift in the final 6:13, as the Sharks lost their third straight game to begin the season. Klingberg is on the Sharks’ first power play unit and has a goal and an assist in three games. Liljegren earned kudos for his play during the preseason and the Sharks’ first two games, as his 20:14 in average time on ice is second behindIf Klingberg and/or Liljegren are unable to play on Friday, that would likely open the door for either Shakir Mukhamadullin or Vincent Desharnais, or both, to enter the lineup. Mukhamadullin has been a scratch for the Sharks’ last two gamesIn Wednesday’s practice, Mukhamadullin was paired with Mario Ferraro, and Desharnais was with Sam Dickinson. The Sharks were carrying eight defensemen on their active roster as of Wednesday afternoon. After Friday, the Sharks return home and play Sidney Crosby, Erik Karlsson, and the Pittsburgh Penguins on Saturday.Warsofsky shuffled his forward lines during Wednesday’s practice, moving Jeff Skinner and Philipp Kurashev to the top line with Macklin Celebrini, and moving Will Smith to the third line with center Michael Misa and Collin Graf on the right side. Smith started Tuesday’s game on the second line with center Alexander Wennberg and Skinner. Smith had three shots on net against the Hurricanes and nearly had a power-play goal in the first period, but finished with a season-low 13:57 of ice time.“A little bit perimeter. Need a little bit more from him,” Warsofsky said of Smith. “Needs to engage a little bit more in the hockey game.” Graf was a scratch for Tuesday’s game. With him coming back to the third line with Misa and Smith, Ty Dellandrea was moved to the fourth line with Barclay Goodrow and Adam Gaudette.Miss Manners: She referred to her dog as her kid, and I didn't know what to sayAsking Eric: My wife's father and her life coach have ruined our marriage Glock ban, slavery reparations, ICE agent masks, more housing: 10 key bills Gov.
