LOS ANGELES \u2014 Ty Dellandrea looks like he will not be available for the San Jose Sharks on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n
San Jose Hockey Now has learned that Dellandrea did not travel with the Sharks to Los Angeles, where they\u2019ll match up against the Los Angeles Kings tonight.<\/p>\n
Dellandrea left Tuesday\u2019s 5-2 victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets after a Denton Mateychuk trip caused the centerman to crash into goaltender Jet Greaves.<\/p>\n

Dellandrea, the Sharks\u2019 third-line center and a go-to penalty killer, was already battling through multiple injuries this season, and has two goals and 11 points in 42 games. He also leads San Jose with a 52.3 Faceoff Winning %, which Sharks faceoff consultant Zenon Konopka spoke to recently on the San Jose Hockey Now Podcast.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
There\u2019s no word yet on the extent of Dellandrea\u2019s injury.<\/p>\n
UPDATE: Warsofsky says that Ty Dellandrea<\/a>\u2018s injury is a week-to-week lower-body injury.<\/p>\n
Immediately, San Jose did recall center Patrick Giles on Monday. Giles can potentially take over 4C duties, and Zack Ostapchuk could get promoted to Dellandrea\u2019s spot.<\/p>\n
Center-winger Adam Gaudette (lower-body), who\u2019s been practicing for a few days now, could also make his return to the line-up?<\/p>\n
Long-term, top prospect Michael Misa, just back from the World Junior Championships, could also take on a more regular role in the line-up.<\/p>\n
Wisely, the Sharks left Misa at home today though. The 19-year-old returned to San Jose on Tuesday after an emotionally-charged seven games in 11 days for Canada, from Dec. 26 to Jan. 5.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ll give him a few days there to catch his breath,\u201d head coach Ryan Warsofsky said on Tuesday morning, \u201cand we\u2019ll go from there.\u201d<\/p>\n
San Jose Sharks (21-18-3)<\/p>\n
Yaroslav Askarov will start and Gaudette with slide in for Dellandrea. There will be no other line-up changes.<\/p>\n
\nWarsofsky, on Mike Aldrich’s 2,500th pro hockey game: “He’s everything. The equipment manager, that job does go unnoticed. These guys work crazy hours. They do it all. And Mikey is the best in the business.” https:\/\/t.co\/gHEXSVjOFS<\/a><\/p>\n
