After a successful preseason and camp, the San Jose Sharks have announced their opening night roster for their Oct. 16 home opener.
The good news? The rookies made the cut, with William Eklund, Jasper Weatherby and Santeri Hatakka, along with other younger players like Jonathan Dahlen and Lane Pederson listed on the roster.
The bad news? There’s a big name missing from the list: Nikolai Knyzhov. The Sharks have been mum on why Knyzhov has been absent from training camp beyond an injury, but he’ll most likely be put on IR or LTIR soon. He’ll be a player we’ll be keeping an eye on as more details emerge on his absence.
