6 years agoSan Jose Sharks defenseman Erik Karlsson (groin) was able to take part in Wednesday's practice session, although he wasn't ready to commit to playing in Thursday's game against the Washington Capitals just yet. He did say he was not hindered at all in practice by his lower-body injury. He has missed the past eight games due to a groin injury. "I feel like it's time to push it forward a bit and test the waters a bit. It's still day to day and it felt decently good out there," Karlsson said. He has irked some fans and fantasy owners by missing three games before the All-Star game, and five since, yet he participated in the Skills Challenge and All-Star Game for the Pacific Division.
