A San Jose Sharks practice went from ho-hum to uh-oh to good news today.<\/p>\n
Shakir Mukhamadullin and John Klingberg missed practice, Collin Graf left practice because of apparent discomfort, and Alex Wennberg<\/a> signed a three-year extension.<\/p>\n Mukhamadullin left Saturday\u2019s 7-3 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning with an upper-body injury. It\u2019s considered day-to-day but still being evaluated, according to San Jose Sharks head coach Ryan Warsofsky.<\/p>\n \u201cThey\u2019re all different injuries, in a sense. So if it was one thing, you could kind of pinpoint it, but it\u2019s some bad luck, really since the end of last year,\u201d Warsofsky said, of the seemingly much-injured young defenseman.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s extremely frustrating, especially when you\u2019re trying to find your game and establish yourself as a National Hockey League player,\u201d Warsofsky added. \u201cI think that\u2019s the bigger picture of it.\u201d<\/p>\n It\u2019s also not great news for Klingberg (lower-body), who suffered an injury during the New Year\u2019s Eve 4-3 shootout victory over the Minnesota Wild.<\/p>\n Warsofsky ruled Klingberg out for the coming week.<\/p>\n While still day-to-day \u2014 San Jose Hockey Now saw Klingberg in the locker room, with no obvious injury \u2014 that means another three games out (Jan. 6 versus Columbus Blue Jackets, Jan. 7 at Los Angeles Kings, Jan. 10 versus Dallas Stars).<\/p>\n On the bright side, Vincent Desharnais (upper-body), out since Nov. 26, participated again in practice, and could be an option to return against the Blue Jackets.<\/p>\n There was an injury scare during practice though.<\/p>\n I didn’t see defensive pairings, there were 7 d-men mixing in, Orlov, Liljegren, Ferraro, Iorio, Dickinson, Leddy & Desharnais<\/p>\n \u2014 Sheng Peng (@Sheng_Peng) January 4, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n Graf left midway during practice, in some discomfort. But Graf returned to finish practice, and both he and Warsofsky told SJHN that he was okay.<\/p>\n We\u2019ll see for sure at practice tomorrow.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
