SAN JOSE – The San Jose Sharks are hopeful that forwards Jeff Skinner and Michael Misa – both out with lower-body injuries – can rejoin practice at the end of next week.

Skinner, 33, was injured in the first period of the Sharks’ game against the Calgary Flames on Nov. 13 as his right leg crashed hard into the boards while he was competing for a loose puck. Misa was injured during the Sharks’ morning skate on Nov. 5 before a road game against the Seattle Kraken.
