PITTSBURGH \u2014 The San Jose Sharks<\/a> just enjoyed one of their greatest regular season wins ever.<\/p>\n

But now, after coming back from a four-goal third period deficit for the first time in franchise history, they\u2019ll now wait on an injury update on both Will Smith and Philipp Kurashev.<\/p>\n

Head coach Ryan Warsofsky offered no update on these apparent upper-body injuries post-game.<\/p>\n

The San Jose Sharks have Sunday off, so the most likely day that we\u2019ll get an update on Smith and Kurashev is Monday.<\/p>\n

Kurashev, who\u2019s skated with the Sharks\u2019 top-six for most of the season, has six goals and 15 points in 31 games. He left the game in the second period with an upper-body injury after crashing into the boards chasing the puck.<\/p>\n

Smith is second on San Jose with 12 goals and 29 points, behind Macklin Celebrini. He left the game in the third period after a huge hit by Parker Wotherspoon, which caused best friend Celebrini to jump Wotherspoon, and might have been the turning point for the comeback.<\/p>\n

\u201cI gotta go back and watch it again,\u201d Warsofsky said of the hit. \u201cObviously, in a little bit of a vulnerable spot. See if it was a little high.\u201d<\/p>\n

Smith left the game favoring his right side.<\/p>\n

The San Jose Sharks might not be done with injuries from this game either.<\/p>\n

Already going into the contest dealing with a day-to-day upper-body injury for defenseman Shakir Mukhamadullin<\/a>, forward Adam Gaudette was seen post-game with a serious limp.<\/p>\n

Warsofsky had no update on Smith or Kurashev. Also saw Gaudette limping around hallway, hope they\u2019re all OK<\/p>\n

Good news, or promising sign, all these injuries didn\u2019t prevent the Sharks from having a good time on their flight home from an improbable 3-2-0 road trip.<\/p>\n
