Nikolai Knyzhov will draw back into the Sharks' lineup on Wednesday vs. Seattle.

Knyzhov has been a healthy scratch for the Sharks' last three games but will draw back into the lineup Wednesday vs. Seattle. The 25-year-old undrafted defenseman has yet to score this season but has an assist, six SOG, six PIMs and a -5 plus/minus through nine games played.

Knyzhov (Achilles) was activated from IR and assigned to San Jose (AHL).

The 24-year-old defenseman had not played competitive hockey since May 2021 due to an Achilles injury and was activated from the injured reserve and assigned to the San Jose Barracuda (AHL) after a long-term injury conditioning loan. The young defenseman had previously played in 59 NHL games, with two goals and 10 points.

Knyzhov (undisclosed) is questionable for the start of the season.

The Sharks are hopeful that Knyzhov will be able to start skating on his own by the end of the week. Knyzhov isn't expected to be available for the preseason, putting his status for the Sharks' season opener in doubt. With Knyzhov likely out, Santeri Hatakka or Jacob Middleton could make the team out of training camp.
