The San Jose Sharks have placed defenseman Jan Rutta on injured reserve due to a lower-body injury, which will keep him out of multiple games, including matchups against the Penguins and Kraken. Rutta is a pending unrestricted free agent and recently missed his first game of the season during a heavy loss to the Panthers. The team has recalled Jack Thompson from the AHL, who has had limited success with the Sharks but performed well with the Barracuda. As the Sharks sit last in the league, they are struggling with injuries, having six players on IR including notable forwards and a goalie.
