SAN JOSE – Dainius Zubrus could return to the Sharks’ lineup as soon as Thursday in Arizona, but forward Raffi Torres’ future remains in limbo.
Zubrus, 37, has missed the last six games with an upper body injury, but participated in his first full practice with the team on Wednesday. He was with fellow fourth liners Chris Tierney, Mike Brown and Melker Karlsson.
After practice Zubrus said he expects to be ready for the Sharks' game against the Coyotes, although coach Pete DeBoer only termed him as “day-to-day.”
“That was a big step today getting him a full-contact practice,” DeBoer said.
