Erik Karlsson and the San Jose Sharks have been fortunate dealing with the injury bug throughout their 2018-2019 campaign.
A few minor stints on the injured reserve for Joe Thornton, Justin Braun and Marc-Edouard Vlasic have shown no signs of serious setbacks over the course of the season.
However, for the most recent injured Shark, Erik Karlsson finds himself missing his fourth straight game, and hasn’t seen any action since a 6-3 loss to the Arizona Coyotes on January 16th.
According to Paul Gackle of the Mercury News, Erik Karlsson won’t join the team up North as the Sharks square off against the Winnipeg Jets in what is considered to be a potential Western Conference Final preview.
