3 years agoSan Jose Sharks defenseman Erik Karlsson has cleared COVID-19 protocols and could return to action later this week. Tuesday's matchup against Calgary is the fifth game Karlsson is forced to miss and he won't play against the Jets on Thursday either, but he could be back in the lineup on Saturday against Colorado. The two-time Norris Trophy winner enjoyed a fantastic start to the season with six points in four games, but he didn't manage to add to his tally in four appearances before San Jose suffered a COVID outbreak. Fellow defenseman Jacob Middleton was back skating on Tuesday as well, meaning the Sharks could have their whole band back together at the weekend.--Taavi Pailk - RotoBaller
