Status report
Sherwood and Kurashev each will not play; the forwards took part in the Sharks morning skate and hope to return during a five-game road trip that concludes at the Colorado Avalanche on Feb. 4, San Jose’s last game before the Olympic break. … Buium was placed on injured reserve Monday; the defenseman took a puck in the face during the first period of a 3-2 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins on Sunday but finished the game wearing a full-face shield. … Boeser also was placed on injured reserve Monday; the forward was injured on a hit by Penguins forward Bryan Rust during the third period Sunday. … Lekkerimaki and Mancini, a defenseman, each was recalled from Abbotsford of the American Hockey League on Monday. … Demko will have hip surgery and miss the rest of the season; the goalie has not played since Jan. 10. … Rossi, out since Dec. 30, had a setback and the forward will not return until after the Olympic break.
