San Jose Sharks rookie defenseman Shakir Mukhamadullin sustained an upper-body injury in a game against the Anaheim Ducks and will miss the upcoming match against the Edmonton Oilers. Coach Ryan Warsofsky indicated that Mukhamadullin is under evaluation and it's uncertain whether he will return this season, particularly as the Sharks have been eliminated from playoff contention. Mukhamadullin was performing well prior to his injury, logging significant minutes and contributing to the team's defensive pairings. The Sharks have only seven games left this season, increasing the urgency of his recovery timeline.
Mukhamadullin has been around the Sharks' practice facility but could not definitively say whether the 23-year-old will be available to play later this month as the regular season winds down.
Honestly, I'm not sure yet.
I think (Mukhamadullin) just ran into the guy, and I think Vatrano saw it differently and was standing up for his teammate.
Mukhamadullin was then assisted to the Sharks' dressing room by a team trainer.
