It appears Brent Burns, in the NHL’s COVID-19 protocol since Dec.17, will be able to rejoin the San Jose Sharks for Monday’s practice
The Sharks are preparing as if they’ll play a home game Tuesday night and it appears at least one of their players in the NHL’s COVID-19 protocol, defenseman Brent Burns, will soon be able to rejoin the team.
Boughner said both Hertl and Dahlen are likely going to miss the Sharks’ game with the Coyotes, although symptomatic players — which Burns, Hertl and Dahlen seem to be — can test out of protocol before the end of their 10-day isolation. “We’ve got to figure out what the pieces look like and knock on wood, hopefully, no one else ,” Boughner said. “I think every coach is going through this. You can’t plan for the next day until you get there.”
The Sharks did not have any other players enter the NHL’s protocol before their practice Sunday as they and other teams throughout the league went through testing prior to taking the ice. Labanc won’t be back until March at the earliest with a dislocated shoulder and Balcers, still working through a lower-body injury, could be back sometime during the Sharks’ road trip early next month, Boughner said.“These next few weeks are going to be tough on everybody,” Boughner said. “If we started again tomorrow against Arizona with all our injuries and COVID and everything else, we’re missing eight guys out of our lineup. That’s not easy to replace, doesn’t matter who you’re playing.
