San Jose Sharks head coach Ryan Warsofsky told the media today<\/a> that forward Will Smith<\/a> is currently dealing with a lower-body issue, and while he should still be in line to play in tomorrow\u2019s game, Warsofsky did note that this ailment is something Smith has been dealing with since even before Saturday\u2019s game. In addition to providing detail on an injury to Smith, Warsofsky also revealed that 2025 second-overall pick Michael Misa<\/a> will make his NHL debut<\/a> tomorrow.<\/p>\n

Misa, 18, will make his NHL debut in what is the Sharks\u2019 third game of the season. Tomorrow\u2019s contest will not just be Misa\u2019s NHL debut, it will also be his first regular-season game of professional hockey, as he was drafted out of the OHL. According to San Jose Hockey Now\u2019s Sheng Peng<\/a>, Misa was slotted into the Sharks\u2019 third-line center position in today\u2019s practice, hinting at how he\u2019s likely to be used in his NHL debut. Given that the Sharks put Misa in between two players who have experience playing center at the NHL level (Ty Dellandrea<\/a> and Philipp Kurashev<\/a>) it appears Warsofsky may be trying to ease Misa, as much as possible, into the level of responsibility that comes with playing center at the NHL level.<\/p>\n

Other injury updates from around the league:<\/p>\n

Postmedia\u2019s Bruce Garrioch reported today<\/a> that Ottawa Senators captain Brady Tkachuk<\/a> was forced out of the team\u2019s loss to the Nashville Predators today, stating that he is currently being evaluated for an injury after being on the other end of a Roman Josi<\/a> cross-checking minor penalty. Tkachuk only managed to skate in 13:53 in today\u2019s game, and although there is no further information other than Tkachuk being under evaluation, any injury he could suffer would be a serious blow to the Senators. He is among the team\u2019s most important wingers and has started off the season with three assists in three games.
\nDetroit Red Wings forward Lucas Raymond<\/a> was forced out of today\u2019s game<\/a> against the Toronto Maple Leafs due to an upper-body injury, and head coach Todd McLellan did not issue an update on the forward\u2019s status post-game. As Detroit\u2019s leading scorer in each of the last two seasons, Raymond has emerged as one of the Red Wings\u2019 most important players, and their undisputed most lethal offensive threat. While we await further information on Raymond\u2019s injury, Red Wings fans will likely have their fingers crossed that his absence was more precautionary than anything else.
\nThe Winnipeg Jets announced<\/a> today that forward Cole Koepke<\/a> did not return to today\u2019s victory over the New York Islanders due to a lower-body injury. Koepke was playing on the Jets\u2019 fourth line alongside Morgan Barron<\/a> and Tanner Pearson<\/a>, and had registered an assist<\/a> on Barron\u2019s goal early in today\u2019s game on Long Island. At this point, there is no further update on Koepke\u2019s status. The Jets have 25-year-old Providence College product Parker Ford<\/a> on their roster ready to enter the lineup should Koepke miss any time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"San Jose Sharks head coach Ryan Warsofsky told the media today that forward Will Smith is currently dealing…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":211355,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[556],"tags":[64,63,48991,129950,3064,3899,70223,25925,575,6597,7527,85,10221,6000],"class_list":{"0":"post-211354","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nhl","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-brady-tkachuk","11":"tag-cole-koepke","12":"tag-detroit-red-wings","13":"tag-injury","14":"tag-lucas-raymond","15":"tag-michael-misa","16":"tag-nhl","17":"tag-ottawa-senators","18":"tag-san-jose-sharks","19":"tag-sports","20":"tag-will-smith","21":"tag-winnipeg-jets"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/211354","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=211354"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/211354\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/211355"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=211354"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=211354"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=211354"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
