The Sharks announced today that forwards Will Smith and Phillipe Kurashev were placed on IR, Ethan Cardwell and Igor Chernyshov have been recalled from the Barracuda in their place. No information or timeline has been given on Smith and Kurashev’s injuries, but both left in the middle of the Sharks' comeback win against the Penguins on Saturday.
Will Smith left the game in the 3rd period after taking a big hit from Parker Wotherspoon, came up favoring his shoulder, went straight to the Sharks' Locker room, and did not return. It would be a massive blow if he were to miss significant time.
