San Jose Sharks Center Ty Dellandrea Placed Week-to-Week with Lower Body Injury
The San Jose Sharks will have to navigate the remainder of their schedule without center Ty Dellandrea, who has been ruled week-to-week due to a lower body injury. Dellandrea suffered the injury in Tuesday's game against the Columbus Blue Jackets, crashing into the post after being tripped by an opponent.
Dellandrea had established himself as the Sharks' third-line center in recent weeks, boasting 11 points in 41 games this season. He also ranks among the team's top penalty-killing forwards and has a respectable faceoff win percentage of 52.3.
In his absence, Adam Gaudette took Dellandrea's spot in the lineup against the Los Angeles Kings on Wednesday. Rookie center Michael Misa, who was recently added to the team's roster, did not travel to Los Angeles and is currently without an option.
The Sharks will be relieved to see that several other injured players are expected to return soon. Defensemen Vincent Desharnais and John Klingberg are not expected to miss much more time, while forwards Will Smith and Philipp Kurashev are expected back before the Olympic break begins in early February.
Dellandrea's injury is a significant blow to the Sharks' lineup, but with several other players on the mend, the team will look to stay competitive despite the setback.

Hopefully his injury isn't too serious so he can get back on the ice ASAP... Adam Gaudette did okay in his spot but you can tell it ain't the same having Dellandrea's skillset. Plus, Misa doesn't even have an option to play yet 
guess they'll just have to grind out some more games with this depleted roster
This injury news is like a mini- election cycle - one minute we're all about Dellandrea's progress, and the next we're dealing with the aftermath 
. It's like, what's the Sharks' strategy on this? Do they go for veteran depth or young blood? I mean, Michael Misa hasn't even had a chance to prove himself yet 
. And then you've got other injured players coming back - it's like a vote of confidence in their abilities 
. But what about the fans? We're stuck with the same old lineup for now 
. It's all about the Sharks' organizational leadership - are they making the right calls to keep us competitive despite these setbacks? 
ty dellandrea's absence is huge 'cause he was doing pretty well this season 
11 points in 41 games? that's like a whole lotta hockey skills 
anyway, gotta feel bad for him, hope his injury isn't too serious...

️. But at least some good news about other injured players coming back soon 
. Fingers crossed they can stay competitive despite losing Dellandrea for a bit 
Interesting that they're getting some guys back soon, Vincent Desharnais and John Klingberg should be a big help 
so I'm thinking, maybe this Ty Dellandrea injury isn't just an accident... like, what if it was a deliberate try to take him out of commission? 
the kid's got potential but is being asked to do way too much already... and where's Misa supposed to come in?
. It's great to hear that some other injured guys are on the mend, though! The Sharks' season is looking up 
...
️
. Ty Dellandrea was already having a solid season, and now he's out for who knows how long. I mean, Adam Gaudette is no slouch or anything... 
And yay, Michael Misa didn't get to go on the trip! That's super exciting 
. On the bright side, some other injured players are coming back soon, so at least that's a silver lining, right? 
The Sharks will just have to "find it in themselves" to stay competitive without Dellandrea... like they're some kind of superhero team or something 
️.
plus gaudette took his spot just fine, no biggie. and let's be real, misa wasn't exactly lighting it up on the farm either
