SAN JOSE — Joonas Donskoi skated for a full hour at the Sharks optional practice Monday, giving head coach Pete DeBoer reason to believe that the scorching-hot forward might be healthy enough to suit up for Tuesday’s clash with the Pittsburgh Penguins at SAP Center.
Donskoi missed the last two periods of Saturday’s 4-1 win over the Ottawa Senators with an apparent head injury after a net-front collision with Mark Borowiecki forced him to leave the game in the opening frame. He returned for one shift at the end of the period before he sat out the last 40 minutes of the game.
