Still with Sharks, Zubrus never lost will to keep playing

PHILADELPHIA – Dainius Zubrus remains with the Sharks, although he’s still not technically on the Sharks.

The 37-year-old veteran forward was one of 10 skaters on Thursday during the team’s optional practice at the University of Pennsylvania. He remains with the club on a tryout, and it’s still uncertain if he has a future with the organization.

Zubrus opened up a bit about his situation over the summer, when the New Jersey Devils bought him out of the final year of a three-year contract in which he was due $3.1 million in late July.

“It wasn’t expected when it happened, the timing of it,” he said.
