San Jose Sharks forward Tyler Toffoli could miss an upcoming three-game road trip due to a lower-body injury suffered in a recent loss to the Buffalo Sabres. Toffoli, who is tied for third on the team in points this season, is a key part of the Sharks' offense alongside star Macklin Celebrini. The Sharks have dropped four games in a row and are struggling to find offense, making Toffoli's potential absence a significant blow.

Why it matters

The Sharks have had a tough season, dropping to 32-30-6 on the year after being in playoff position just a few weeks ago. Toffoli's injury adds to the team's woes, as they try to snap their current four-game losing streak and get their season back on track. The Sharks will need to find offense from other sources if Toffoli is unable to play during the upcoming road trip.

The details

San Jose coach Ryan Warsofsky said he is unsure if Toffoli will travel with the team for a three-game road trip that begins on Tuesday against the Nashville Predators. This season, Toffoli has 44 points in 67 games, tying him for third on the team in scoring. The Sharks have also dealt with other injuries, including forward Ryan Reaves suffering a finger injury in a recent loss to the Philadelphia Flyers.

What they’re saying

“He's one of those guys, he leads on the ice, he leads off the ice, he leads on the bench. I'm kind of getting emotional about it, to be honest. He's one of those guys that is willing to do whatever for the team, even if that means staying on the bench and he's not going out there. He's pumping us up, leading all the time.”

— Mario Ferraro, Sharks defenseman

What’s next

The judge in the case will decide on Tuesday whether or not to allow Walker Reed Quinn out on bail.
