San Jose Sharks center Ty Dellandrea out with lower body injury Today Us News



The San Jose Sharks will be without Ty Dellandrea for the foreseeable future as the centerman is considered week-to-week with a lower body injury, coach Ryan Warsofsky told reporters said Wednesday.

Dellandrea exited Tuesday’s game with the Columbus Blue Jackets at the 4:45 mark of the second period. Trying to take the puck to the net, Dellandrea was instead inadvertently tripped by Blue Jackets defenseman Denton Mateychuk, causing his right leg to crash hard into the post next to goalie Jet Greaves.

Dellandrea, who has established himself as the Sharks third-line center in recent weeks, had to be helped off the ice and into the dressing room and did not return as the Sharks went on to a 5-2 win before an announced crowd of 16,258 at SAP Center.

The right-shot Dellandrea has 11 points in 41 games this season, is third on the Sharks with 511 faceoffs taken with a team-high win percentage of 52.3. Dellandrea is also among the Sharks’ top penalty-killing forwards.

It was not immediately clear who would take Dellandrea’s spot in the Sharks’ lineup for Wednesday’s game against the Los Angeles Kings at Crypto.com Arena.
