"San Jose Sharks forward Will Smith continues to rehab from his injury, but it remains unclear when he'll be able to rejoin one of the team's practices. Sharks coach Ryan Warsofsky said Friday that Smith has been attending meetings and working out at the team's practice facility in recent days but held off on giving any specific timeline for the 20-year-old's return."
"Smith was injured in the third period of last Saturday's road game against the Pittsburgh Penguins as he was walloped into the boards by defenseman Tyler Wotherspoon. Smith got up from the hit and clutched his right side before he made his way off the ice and into the Sharks' dressing room. Forward Philipp Kurashev (upper body) was also injured in that game and is considered week-to-week."
"Smith's timeline, though, remains vague, although he is no longer wearing a sling around his shoulder. Despite missing the last two games, Smith remains the Sharks' second-leading scorer with 29 points in 33 games. Macklin Celebrini entered Friday third in the NHL in scoring with 53 points in 35 games, and without Smith and Kurashev, has played the last two games with Collin Graf and Igor Chernyshov on the wings."
Will Smith continues rehabbing an injury with no clear timeline to rejoin practice, though he has attended meetings and worked out at the team's facility. Smith was injured after being hit into the boards, got up clutching his right side, and is no longer wearing a sling. Philipp Kurashev suffered an upper-body injury in the same game and is considered week-to-week. The Sharks recently beat Calgary, lost to Dallas, and will face Seattle to close their homestand before traveling to Las Vegas for a pre-Christmas game and returning Dec. 27 in Vancouver. Smith has 29 points in 33 games. Macklin Celebrini has 53 points in 35 games. Rookie defenseman Sam Dickinson will play against the Kraken after being a healthy scratch.
