San Jose Sharks News

Nedeljkovic, 21, was a second round pick (No. 37 overall) in 2014 and this is his first NHL call-up. Cam Ward has started 19 games in a row, so either Nedeljkovic is up to serve as his backup or so the Hurricanes can get a look at him at the NHL level. The American born netminder has gone 5-12-0 with a 3.30 GAA and .884 SV% with Charlotte and 2-0-0 with 2.83 GAA and.921 SV% in a brief stint with the Florida Everblades (ECHL).

Nutivaara is dealing with an undisclosed injury that will keep him sidelined for Tuesday's game and allow Scott Harrington to get into the lineup. Nutivaara is considered day-to-day and could be ready to go on Thursday or by the weekend.

Vlasic has missed the last four games with a face injury, but will travel to Edmonton for Tuesday’s game. He is listed as a game-time decision, so monitor his status during the morning skate.

Vlasic was hit in the face with a shot last Friday and was placed on IR yesterday so they could recall Mirco Mueller from San Jose (AHL). Vlasic is expected to miss at least the next two games, but should be able to return shortly after that.

Couture left Wednesday’s game after being cross-checked in the head/neck area by Senators’ forward Mike Hoffman. Couture was on the ice for the morning skate and will centre the second line with Mikkel Boedker and Kevin Labanc on his wings.

Couture left Wednesday’s game after taking a cross-check to the back/neck area from Mike Hoffman. It was dirty play by the Senators’ winger and Couture left the game and did not return. Despite leaving, he is with the team in Montreal, which is a good sign that he could play on Friday.

Vlasic missed last night's game in Toronto because of a lower-body injury, but is reportedly feeling better today and is listed as game-time decision. If Vlasic is able to play, expect him to replace Dylan DeMelo in the lineup.

Vlasic left Saturday's game midway through the second period and did not return. Vlasic was on the ice this morning, but was one of the first players off, which puts his status for tonight’s game in question. Monitor his status prior to game-time.

Couture missed Tuesday’s practice after having a screw removed from his surgically repaired ankle. Despite missing practice, Couture will be in the lineup vs. the Senators. He has nine goals and seven assists (16 points) in 25 games this season.

Klingberg missed a morning meeting, so he will be disciplined by being a healthy scratch tonight vs. the Wild. With Klingberg out, Julius Honka has been recalled from Texas (AHL) and will make his NHL debut.

Skinner missed Tuesday’s game in Detroit, but took part in Friday’s morning skate and will be a game-time decision for the Hurricanes’ home opener vs. the Rangers. Skinner has enjoyed a hot-start to the season, picking up six points (2G / 4A) in five games this season.

Skinner missed Tuesday’s game in Detroit and remains questionable for Friday’s game vs. the Rangers. Monitor Skinner’s status during the Hurricanes’ morning skate.

Skinner did not appear to be hurt in Saturday’s loss to the Flyers, but he was mixed up in a fight with Wayne Simmonds. Head coach Bill Peters said that Skinner is not concussed thinks “he’s OK.” Skinner’s availability for Tuesday’s game remains up in the air so monitor his status during the Hurricanes’ gameday skate.

Leddy missed Friday’s game vs. the Arizona Coyotes, but tonight he will replace Ryan Pulock in the lineup. He has one goal, one assist and a minus-7 rating in four games this season.

Leddy missed Friday’s game with an upper-body injury, but he got through Saturday’s practice without a hitch and appears good-to-go for Sunday’s game. He would re-claim his spot from Ryan Pulock, who is now out for at least one month with a broken foot.

There is no word on when Leddy suffered the injury, but he will not be in the lineup on Friday due to an upper-body injury. With Leddy day-to-day, Ryan Pulock will be in the lineup and take Leddy’s spot on the Islanders’ top power-play unit.
