OTTAWA \u2014 On the night the San Jose Sharks get their first regulation win of the season, there is bad postgame news about winger Igor Chernyshov<\/a>.<\/p>\n

During the Sharks\u2019 6-2 win<\/a> over the Ottawa Senators<\/a> on Thursday, Chernyshov left the game in the first period after blocking a shot with his left arm\/wrist. The forward was deemed doubtful to return. <\/p>\n

After the game, head coach Ryan Warsofsky<\/a> provided an update on Chernyshov\u2019s status.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s going to be out here a little bit. I\u2019ll have a better update tomorrow,\u201d Warsofsky said.<\/p>\n

Chernyshov registered an assist on Nolan Allan\u2019s first-period goal and was really starting to find his game. Warsofsky even said he liked how well the entire San Jose Sharks top line was playing before the injury.<\/p>\n

\u201cI thought that line was really good in the first period too. So it\u2019s gonna hurt, but another opportunity for someone else,\u201d Warsofsky said.<\/p>\n

Alexander Wennberg<\/a> is already out week-to-week with an injury, and now with Chernyshov joining him, the Sharks will need to call someone up from the AHL. The team heads to Boston tonight, and these injuries likely mean Adam Gaudette<\/a> will make his long-awaited season debut on Saturday against the Boston Bruins<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Gaudette is the only extra forward remaining on the Sharks roster. The team could hold off on recalling a forward from the San Jose Barracuda until after Saturday\u2019s game. <\/p>\n

Cam Lund<\/a> recently returned from injury and could be an option for the San Jose Sharks. Ethan Cardwell<\/a>, who cleared waivers and can be in the NHL for 30 days before needing to clear again, is another option. Both players have NHL experience, but Lund hasn\u2019t played in the NHL since April of 2025.<\/p>\n

Another option could be Filip Bystedt<\/a>. The former first-rounder could finally make his NHL debut. The 2022 NHL Draft first-rounder has four goals and two assists in six AHL<\/a> games this season. With Wennberg being a key loss at center, Bystedt appears to be the best option to fill the hole. <\/p>\n

Collin Graf<\/a> and Ty Dellandrea<\/a> have filled in admirably during the road trip.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"OTTAWA \u2014 On the night the San Jose Sharks get their first regulation win of the season, there…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":505276,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[2094,3526,3857,3522,3517,26224,88,90,89,98,8683,4174,11966,755],"class_list":["post-505275","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-jose","tag-alexander-wennberg","tag-cam-lund","tag-ethan-cardwell","tag-filip-bystedt","tag-igor-chernyshov","tag-ottawa-senators","tag-san-jose","tag-san-jose-headlines","tag-san-jose-news","tag-san-jose-sharks","tag-sharks-injuries","tag-sharks-news","tag-sharks-prospects","tag-sj-sharks"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/505275","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=505275"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/505275\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/505276"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=505275"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=505275"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=505275"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
