John Klingberg and Jeff Skinner are back.<\/p>\n
Klingberg, out since Oct. 14 with a lower-body injury, will re-join the top San Jose Sharks power play unit.<\/p>\n
Klingberg didn\u2019t describe the injury, but both Klingberg and head coach Ryan Warsofsky have stated that it\u2019s not related to his hip, a nagging injury that\u2019s slowed him down for the last half-decade.<\/p>\n
Skinner was a surprise healthy scratch on Sunday at the Minnesota Wild.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe got to win some more pucks. That\u2019s not just him. That\u2019s our whole group. We\u2019ll got to win more 50-50 pucks,\u201d Ryan Warsofsky<\/a> said on Sunday. \u201cCreate in the inside, a little bit more.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThat\u2019s kind of the name of the game. You want to try and win as many battles you can,\u201d Skinner said this morning. \u201cI think for me, obviously, I\u2019ve been around a long time, and I have a certain standard for myself. I work towards being up to that personal standard.\u201d<\/p>\n San Jose Sharks (2-5-2)<\/p>\n https:\/twitter.com\/Sheng_Peng\/status\/1983249076876423257<\/p>\n Toffoli-Celebrini-Smith Orlov-Liljegren Askarov<\/p>\n The #SJSharks<\/a> have recalled F Patrick Giles from the @sjbarracuda<\/a>.<\/p>\n In a corresponding move, D Nick Leddy has been placed on injured reserve.<\/p>\n \u2014 San Jose Sharks PR (@SanJoseSharksPR) October 28, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n Why Patrick Giles?<\/p>\n \u201cJust a center. Right shot. Can win draws. Gives us some size,\u201d Warsofsky said.<\/p>\n That could be insurance for center-winger Adam Gaudette, who could be out for more than day-to-day with an upper-body injury.<\/p>\n It also could add another center to the mix to slow play Michael Misa\u2019s march to nine NHL games (he\u2019s at six now), which will be a major roster\/contract situation before his 10th NHL game. When Misa plays his 10th NHL game, his entry-level contract with start this season, and his contract will count against the Sharks\u2019 maximum of 50.<\/p>\n Also, Giles may be able to help the San Jose penalty kill, which has struggled recently.<\/p>\n Warsofsky also says that Mukhamadullin is close, he got through a full practice today, evaluate him after<\/p>\n \u2014 Sheng Peng (@Sheng_Peng) October 28, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n Good sign too, Leddy on the ice late, so maybe his injury not too bad<\/p>\n \u2014 Sheng Peng (@Sheng_Peng) October 28, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n Los Angeles Kings (4-3-3)<\/p>\n The Kings did not roll out full morning skate lines today.<\/p>\n The @LAKings<\/a> will miss Warren Foegele tonight in San Jose but they are better equipped to handle the absence of a Top-9 forward than they were in past seasons.<\/p>\n A look at the depth options who could play a larger role in today’s game preview \ud83d\udc47https:\/\/t.co\/PmpZy8sQcW<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Zach Dooley (@DooleyLAK) October 28, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n Where To Watch<\/p>\n Puck drop between the San Jose Sharks and Los Angeles Kings, as part of Frozen Frenzy<\/a>, is at about 8 PM PT at SAP Center.
