SAN JOSE – Raffi Torres’ historically long 41-game suspension is winding down, but that doesn’t necessarily mean he’ll be back for the Sharks-Oilers game on Jan. 14 when he’s eligible to return.
The 34-year-old forward underwent a surgical procedure on Dec. 11 on his right knee, according to general manager Doug Wilson, and just started skating again on Tuesday. He went on the ice before the team and casually glided up and down the ice, seemingly testing out the knee that has been repaired and infected multiple times over the last several years.
