"Eklund, who is tied for second on the Sharks with 11 points, did not travel with the Sharks to Seattle on Tuesday afternoon as he continues to deal with a lower-body injury that also caused him to miss Sunday's home game against the Detroit Red Wings, a 3-2 shootout loss. Sharks coach Ryan Warsofsky said Eklund, who has had the injury for over a week, is considered day-to-day, but it is trending in the right direction."
"In five games from Oct. 23-30, Eklund had four goals and five assists as he, Alexander Wennberg, and winger Philipp Kurashev formed the Sharks' most consistent line, not only with their scoring contributions but by holding the opposing teams' top lines mostly in check. Eklund had close to 21 minutes in ice time in the Sharks' 3-2 overtime win over the Colorado Avalanche on Saturday."
William Eklund will miss at least his second straight game for the San Jose Sharks because of a lower-body injury that also sidelined him for the loss to Detroit. Coach Ryan Warsofsky said the injury has lasted over a week, is considered day-to-day and is trending in the right direction, with an injured-reserve decision undecided ahead of upcoming home games. Eklund had been among the team's most productive forwards, registering 11 points and a four-goal, five-assist stretch Oct. 23-30 while centering a consistent line with Alexander Wennberg and Philipp Kurashev. The Sharks enter the matchup riding a season-long point streak and showing their best early start since 2021-22.
