The Sharks will soon face an incoming roster crunch, with defenseman Sharkir Mukhamadullin, forward Phillip Kurashev, and recently acquired forward Kiefer Sherwood all expected to play on the upcoming road trip prior to the Olympic break.
The Sharks will head on a 5-game road trip after Friday’s game against the Rangers, prior to the 3-week break for the Olympics. If they activate all 3 players during the road trip, they will have to make 3 corresponding roster moves. They already waived Nick Leddy last week to make room for Vincent Desharnais.
This is how the current Sharks 23 man roster looks.
