Warsofsky said that Dellandrea will get re-evaluated right before the Olympics, meaning the third-line center is out until at least Feb. 4, the San Jose Sharks\u2019 last game before the break.<\/p>\n<p>On defense, John Klingberg, out since Dec. 31 with a lower-body injury, practiced. Warsofsky says he won\u2019t be an option for Saturday against the Dallas Stars, but optimism seems high that he will be back shortly thereafter.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Vincent Desharnais (upper-body) and Shakir Mukhamadullin (upper-body) skated together before practice. They don\u2019t appear to be immediate options to return this weekend, though neither are suffering, at this point, long-term injuries.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Will Smith is back at practice.
