Ducks"},"content":{"rendered":"

San Jose Sharks forward Igor Chernyshov is considered a game-time decision on Wednesday due to illness against the Anaheim Ducks<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Sharks coach Ryan Warsofsky<\/a> told reporters after an optional morning skate that forward Ty Dellandrea<\/a> would play if Chernyshov can\u2019t go.<\/p>\n

Yaroslav Askarov will start tonight\u2019s Sharks game against the Ducks. <\/p>\n

Chernyshov has been a big boost to the San Jose Sharks\u2019 top line of Macklin Celebrini<\/a> and Will Smith<\/a>. After returning from a concussion, Chernyshov has three points (two goals, one assist) in four games. <\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s so big, he\u2019s so fast. I think the D, they panic when he\u2019s on them, because he\u2019s such a big body,\u201d Celebrini said after Monday\u2019s 5-4 win against the St. Louis Blues. \u201cAs long as he\u2019s skating and doing his thing and creating turnovers, we\u2019re gonna have a lot of success.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dellandrea has been out since Jan. 6 with a lower-body injury<\/a>. The Sharks forward went sliding hard into the post against the Columbus Blue Jackets.<\/p>\n

Dellandrea on the rehab process: “I’ve never been out for that long or had an injury of that sort, so it’s been eye-opening. You learn a lot about how much you miss the game and maybe sometimes take for granted, just playing every night. So I missed a lot. Missed the guys. The\u2026<\/p>\n

Dellandrea has played 42 games this season, scoring two goals and five assists. He\u2019s been a key penalty killer and the top face-off man (52.3%) for the San Jose Sharks. Dellandrea is also right-handed, which is very valuable for face-offs.<\/p>\n

Tonight\u2019s start time is 6 p.m. PT rather than the traditional 7 p.m. PT due to the national TNT broadcast. Warmups will begin at approximately 5:30 p.m., and clarification on Chernyshov\u2019s status will take place then.<\/p>\n
