Defenseman Erik Karlsson has been placed on injured reserve by the Sharks.
Karlsson appeared to be hurt in the third period of Friday’s game with the Winnipeg Jets. Following an awkward collision with center Joe Thornton, Karlsson did not play the final 13-plus minutes of what became a 3-2 Sharks win.

The nature and the extent of Karlsson’s injury are not immediately known, although by being on IR, Karlsson will miss at least one week. The Sharks play the Minnesota Wild on Saturday afternoon, the Florida Panthers on Monday and begin a four-game road trip with a game against the New Jersey Devils on Feb.
