SAN JOSE — Forward Melker Karlsson will not play in Saturday’s game against the New York Islanders and defenseman Radim Simek is considered day-to-day after both players were both injured in the Sharks’ 2-1 win over the Vegas Golden Knights.
Karlsson has an upper body injury, possibly caused by a hit from Golden Knights winger Ryan Reaves at the 8:26 mark of the second period. Karlsson took a regular shift for the rest of the period, but had just one shift early in the third before he left the game.
Simek has a lower body injury, which appeared to be caused by a low hit from Tomas Nosek in the corner to the right of Dell with 17:00 left in regulation time.
