Still no Jannik Hansen.

Visa issues will keep the right winger – acquired in a trade with Vancouver Tuesday – out of the Sharks lineup until the team returns from the two-game, back-to-back road trip that started Sunday against the Minnesota Wild.

“Just status quo,’’ Sharks coach Peter DeBoer said, hours before the Sharks and Wild played at the Xcel Energy Center on Sunday. “I expect to have some news by Monday. I wouldn’t expect he would play on this trip. But I’d expect him to be available after that.’’

The Sharks play Monday in Winnipeg.
