DENVER — Joe Pavelski is making enough progress from the head injury he suffered April 23 that coach Pete DeBoer isn’t ruling out a return for the Sharks captain at some point in their series against the Colorado Avalanche.
DeBoer said Pavelski was to begin skating again Wednesday in San Jose for the first time since his injury.
Pavelski suffered the injury in the third period of Game 7 of the Sharks’ series against the Vegas Golden Knights. He was around the team in San Jose the days after the incident but he and Joonas Donskoi stayed back in the Bay Area when the Sharks traveled to Denver.
