With last night’s game in Winnipeg being the halfway point in the season for the San Jose Sharks, one key player was eligible to return to game action. Raffi Torres has served his 41-game suspension and the Sharks wasted little time in activating the 34-year-old forward.

“We know Raffi can be a very effective player for our team and this assignment will allow him to get back into game shape.
