"The Sharks were carrying 22 players on their active roster as of early Friday and had three others forwards Kiefer Sherwood and Philipp Kurashev and defenseman Shakir Mukhamadullin on IR. Sharks coach Ryan Warsofsky said last week that Mukhamadullin was getting closer to a return, and that he was optimistic that Kurashev and Sherwood could be activated before the end of the team's road trip on Feb. 4. All three players were dealing with upper body injuries."
"Iorio, 23, was scratched for a sixth straight game Thursday in the Sharks' 4-3 overtime loss to the Edmonton Oilers. The Sharks took a 3-0 lead in the first period but gave up three goals in the third including two in the final 3:05 of regulation time before allowing a goal to Zach Hyman at the 1:06 mark of overtime."
San Jose placed defenseman Vincent Iorio on waivers to clear a roster spot for potential injured-reserve activations. The team carried 22 players on its active roster and had Kiefer Sherwood, Philipp Kurashev and Shakir Mukhamadullin on IR with upper-body injuries. Coach Ryan Warsofsky said Mukhamadullin was nearing a return and expected Kurashev and Sherwood could be activated before the Feb. 4 road trip end. Iorio, 23, was scratched for a sixth straight game and had three assists in 21 games after being claimed from Washington. If unclaimed, he will likely be assigned to the AHL Barracuda. The Sharks are 1-0-1 on the five-game road trip, with games in Calgary, Chicago and Colorado before the Olympic break.
