SAN JOSE — The Sharks could get at least one of their injured defensemen back at some point on the five-game, eight-day road trip that starts Tuesday in Buffalo against the Sabres.
Both Dalton Prout and Radim Simek took part in Sunday’s practice, a day after the Sharks lost 4-3 to the Sabres at SAP Center to conclude a 2-1-0 homestand. Prout, as of now, is closer to a return than Simek, Sharks coach Pete DeBoer said.
Prout was officially placed on injured reserve with an upper body ailment Oct. 4, two days after he was hurt in the Sharks’ season-opener against the Vegas Golden Knights.
