SAN JOSE — Captain Joe Pavelski likely will not play Friday when the Sharks open their second round series against the Colorado Avalanche at SAP Center.
Pavelski is considered day-to-day after he suffered a head injury midway through the third period of Game 7 of the Sharks’ series against the Vegas Golden Knights. He was at the Sharks’ practice facility Thursday but did not take the ice and was not available to the media.
“I saw him this morning. He’s OK,” Sharks coach Pete DeBoer said.
“It could have been worse. You could have been dealing with a fractured skull or something like that.
