NHL: San Jose Sharks’ Markus Nutivaara missed practice Thursday with a lower-body injury and is considered day-to-day, David Quinn said.
SAN JOSE – Sharks defenseman Markus Nutivaara, who has battled injuries for much of the last two seasons, is hurt once again, raising questions as to whether he might be available to play in the team’s first regular-season games in the Czech Republic late next week.
“He’s done a lot in a short period of time,” Quinn said of Nutivaara, “but it’s taken its toll a little bit.”Quinn said Nutivaara’s injury cropped up Monday after he had 19:09 of ice time the night before in a 3-2 Sharks win over the Kings at SAP Center. Last season, Nutivaara missed 81 regular season games and all of the postseason with the Florida Panthers with what was reported as a lower-body injury. Nutivaara, the season before, had an upper-body injury and played just 30 of 56 games.
It appears doubtful, though, that Lindblom, who began camp on the second line with Logan Couture and Kevin Labanc, will play in either of the Sharks’ split-squad games on Friday. One group will be in Anaheim and Quinn and a second group will be in Las Vegas.
