The San Jose Sharks will be without veteran centerman Joe Thornton who will miss several weeks due to an MCL injury, Sharks’ general manager Doug Wilson announced.
Wilson says the club is awaiting the results of an MRI to determine whether surgery is necessary, so this story is likely to be updated soon.
Thornton, 38, left with 40 seconds left in the third period of Tuesday night’s game against the Winnipeg Jets with what appeared to be a serious leg injury.
Thornton has 13 goals and 23 assists in 47 games this season, which is his 20th in the NHL.
