Meier to miss about a month with mono

SAN JOSE — Timo Meier will miss about a month after being diagnosed with mononucleosis, according to Sharks general manager Doug Wilson.

"Timo Meier is expected to be unable to play in any NHL or AHL games for approximately four weeks after being diagnosed with mononucleosis. He will remain in the Bay Area where he can skate and train as his recovery allows,” Wilson said in a statement.

The 2015 first round pick missed the previous five days of practice, and told reporters this afternoon that he was feeling symptoms “a couple days” before missing his first practice on Sunday.
