"Mukhamadullin's injury, and those to John Klingberg (lower body) and Timothy Liljegren (upper body), will thrust Vincent Iirio into the Sharks' lineup on Friday, one day after he was claimed off waivers from the Washington Capitals. Rookie Sam Dickinson will also dress on Friday, marking his third straight game. Iorio, listed at 6-foot-4 and 220 pounds, has one assist in nine career NHL games. He spent all of last season with Hershey of the AHL, with his last NHL game coming on April 16, 2024, when the Capitals played the Flyers in Philadelphia."
"SCHEDULE QUIRK After this weekend, the Sharks play games on back-to-back nights 15 more times, and eight of those involve some travel from one city to another. But the real issue for the Sharks is that the opponent they'll be playing on the second half of those back-to-backs, most times, will be the more rested team. Of the Sharks' 16 back-to-backs, their opponent will be the more rested team 13 tim"
Shakir Mukhamadullin will miss Friday's game and likely Saturday's game with an upper-body injury sustained in practice and is considered day-to-day. Mukhamadullin has not played since the Oct. 9 season opener but participated in Thursday's practice. John Klingberg (lower body) and Timothy Liljegren (upper body) are also injured; Liljegren was placed on injured reserve and Klingberg remains day-to-day. Vincent Iirio, claimed off waivers from the Capitals, will join the lineup Friday while rookie Sam Dickinson will dress for his third straight game. Michael Misa will be rested for back-to-back considerations and could return Saturday. After Saturday the Sharks begin a four-game road trip and face a heavy slate of back-to-backs, with opponents more rested in most of those second games.
