SAN JOSE – The Sharks recently passed the quarter pole of their 2015-16 regular season. For Raffi Torres, that means he’s passed the halfway point of his half-season suspension.

The 34-year-old forward has 17 games remaining on his league-imposed 41-game sentence for hitting Anaheim’s Jakob Silfverberg in a preseason game on Oct. 3.

Torres, who is still not officially on the Sharks' roster, is still eligible to return on Jan. 14 when the Sharks host former coach Todd McLellan and the Edmonton Oilers.
