San Jose Sharks’ Will Smith out until at least new year, Warsofsky says

SAN JOSE — Will Smith will be out a while longer for the Sharks. 

San Jose coach Ryan Warsofsky said Monday that the second-year winger will miss time until at least January with the upper-body injury he suffered on Dec. 13 against the Pittsburgh Penguins. 

“Smitty’s going to be out here week to week,” Warsofsky said. “We’re going to reevaluate him in the new year.”

Warsofsky declined to share further details of the injury but said Smith is “making steps daily to getting better. So that’s the big positive.”

Smith was placed on injured reserve last Monday.
