More updates have been released ahead of the NHL's return from its Christmas break tomorrow. Here they are:
Brent Burns has exited COVID protocol, while Adin Hill has joined Tomas Hertl and Jonathan Dahlen in COVID protocol. Jasper Weatherby is currently in AHL COVID protocol. In addition, Zach Sawchenko has been recalled from the Barracuda.
The NHL has reintroduced taxi squads in light of rising cases across the league due to the Omicron variant. Taxi squads consist of roughly five or six players who are readily available if a team is shorthanded due to positive cases on the team. This should help reduce the number of future games that have to be postponed due to pandemic-related reasons.
William Eklund is the only Sharks prospect participating in the World Juniors this year. He has recorded two assists in the tournament so far in Sweden's 6-3 victory over Russia last night.
The Sharks announced the passing of former head coach Jim Wiley at the age of 71. He previously coached the Sharks during the 1995-96 season.
Stay tuned to CPF Hockey for more updates.
