Injured Sharks rookie defenseman to miss next two games

SAN JOSE — Defenseman Mario Ferraro has a lower body injury and will not play Saturday’s game against the Ottawa Senators or Sunday’s game with the Colorado Avalanche, Sharks interim coach Bob Boughner said.

Nikolai Knyzhov, recalled earlier Saturday from the Barracuda, will make his NHL debut against the Senators and be paired with Brandon Davidson.

Boughner said Ferraro has been dealing with the injury for about a week and a half. Ferraro, arguably the Sharks’ top rookie this season, did not practice Friday.

“It’s just been lingering and it’s to the point now where we’ve got to get him some rest,” Boughner said.
