Collin Graf will play Tuesday night against the Vegas Golden Knights.
That was the big Sharks news out of Tuesday’s morning skate one day after the second-year winger took an errant puck to the face that required stitches to stop the bleeding.
Monday’s development cast doubt on Graf’s availability for Tuesday’s game, and it was unknown whether he would travel to Las Vegas with the Sharks. But Graf made the trip and was spotted out on the ice with a full protective face shield on his helmet Tuesday morning, according to Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now.
Graf told Peng after the morning skate that he will play Tuesday and there is “nothing broken.” Graf said he is feeling good and expects to heal completely.
Some of his teammates have reportedly dubbed him “Scarface” as he sports numerous stitches along the lower right side of his right nostril.
