"SAN JOSE Sharks rookie center Michael Misa continues to rehab from a lower-body injury. Still, it remains unclear whether the 18-year-old will be available to play in the IIHF World Junior Championship, which begins next month in Minnesota. Misa sustained the injury on Nov. 5 during the Sharks' morning skate in Seattle, hours before their game against the Kraken, and was considered week-to-week at that point."
"Misa was at SAP Center a couple of days later, wearing a walking boot on his right foot. Sharks coach Ryan Warsofsky said Tuesday that the Sharks are a few more days away from looking to see (if we can) get him on the ice. Warsofsky said Monday that Misa is farther from a return than Jeff Skinner, who could begin skating again in approximately two weeks."
"Until Misa begins to skate again, the Sharks will not know whether he'll be healthy enough to play in the World Juniors, which begin Dec. 26. The Sharks would have to make Misa available to play in the event. Hockey Canada is planning to hold a training camp, not a selection camp, for prospective players in Niagara Falls, Ontario, from Dec. 12-22."
San Jose Sharks rookie center Michael Misa continues rehabbing a lower-body injury sustained Nov. 5 during the team's morning skate in Seattle and was initially considered week-to-week. He was seen at SAP Center wearing a walking boot on his right foot. Coach Ryan Warsofsky said the Sharks are a few more days away from attempting to get him on the ice and that Misa is farther from a return than Jeff Skinner, who could resume skating in about two weeks. Misa's ability to play in the IIHF World Junior Championship beginning Dec. 26 depends on his recovery and the Sharks making him available. Misa led the CHL with 134 points last season and had three points in seven NHL games before the injury.
