BREAKING: San Jose Sharks winger Will Smith will be sidelined until at least January due to an upper-body injury sustained on December 13 against the Pittsburgh Penguins. Sharks coach Ryan Warsofsky confirmed the news in a statement earlier today, emphasizing the ongoing impact on the team.
“Smitty’s going to be out week to week,” Warsofsky stated. “We’re going to reevaluate him in the new year.” This announcement comes as a significant blow to the Sharks, who rely on Smith’s skills and contributions on the ice.
Smith, who was placed on injured reserve last Monday, has shown progress, according to Warsofsky. “He’s making steps daily to getting better. So that’s the big positive,” the coach added, though he refrained from sharing additional specifics about the injury.
This latest update is crucial for Sharks fans and the team as they navigate the challenges of the season without one of their key players. The Sharks will be looking to fill the gap left by Smith’s absence, which could affect their performance in upcoming games.
As the Sharks prepare for the new year, all eyes will be on Smith’s recovery and the team’s ability to adapt. Stay tuned for further updates on this developing story, as the Sharks work to overcome this setback.
