LAS VEGAS — Vincent Desharnais is dealing with an injury.
“He’s been dealing with this here for a little bit, so gotta get it looked at,” San Jose Sharks head coach Ryan Warsofsky said about Desharnais’s day-to-day upper-body injury.
Desharnais missed Friday’s game against the Vancouver Canucks and will miss tonight’s tilt at the Vegas Golden Knights.
A Desharnais stint on IR could solve the Sharks’ current 12 forward-9 defensemen quagmire. San Jose has a five-game road trip beginning on Dec. 5 at the Dallas Stars, where they’ll probably need an extra forward.

It was a very optional skate this morning in Las Vegas. Only a half-dozen or so Sharks jumped on the ice.
Alex Nedeljkovic will start.
Shakir Mukhamadullin and Nick Leddy will return to the line-up, in place of Sam Dickinson and Vincent Iorio.
Warsofsky, as has been the norm this season, cited the back-to-back for scratching Dickinson. The 19-year-old defenseman has only played in one of the four back-to-backs so far this year.
Just Dickinson and Iorio stayed on the ice for extra work with Sharks’ assistant coaches, so these are real development days.
Lines should otherwise be the same, per Warsofsky:
Toffoli-Celebrini-Smith
Eklund-Wennberg-Gaudette
Kurashev-Dellandrea-Graf
Goodrow-Ostapchuk-Reaves
Orlov-Liljegren
Ferraro-Klingberg
Leddy-Mukhamadullin
Nedeljkovic
Vegas Golden Knights (10-6-8)
Carl Lindbom should start.
Barbashev—Eichel—Bowman
Holtz—Hertl—Dorofeyev
Marner—Howden—Stone
Reinhardt—Sissons—Kolesar
McNabb—Theodore
Hanifin—Whitecloud
Hutton—Korczak
