This morning, the San Jose Sharks announced that seven players have been removed from the NHL’s COVID-19 Protocol and added to the team’s active roster.
Kevin Labanc, Erik Karlsson, Timo Meier, Jake Middleton, Matthew Nieto, Radim Simek and Marc-Edouard Vlasic will return and meet the team in Denver ahead of their game against the Colorado Avalanche on Saturday. Sharks head coach Bob Boughner, head trainer Ray Tufts, and equipment manager Mike Aldrich are also returning to the team.
With this move, the Sharks have also sent down seven players to the American Hockey League to report to the San Jose Barracuda.
