In other San Jose Sharks news…

Good hustle and nice find from Brian Truong, San Jose Hockey Now’s Barracuda reporter — it looks like Ivan Chekhovich, who left Sunday’s game because of a Brayden Pachal blindside hit, is okay after being in concussion protocol.

Update on Ivan Chekhovich from his IG story:
"do this exercise twice a day and your back won't get hurt" … "slaughterhouse"

"p.s. everything's OK"@Sheng_Peng reported he was in concussion protocol after exiting yesterday's game due to this hit https://t.co/lHTbVgPHRk pic.twitter.com/PkHG17791o

What a wild season it was. In total, 21 different players appeared in at least one game with the @sjbarracuda and @SanJoseSharks, the second most ever, and the most since the 1992-93 season (Kansas City Blades). Thank you to all those that watched and listened. I had a blast! pic.twitter.com/7OkVJDfOvj
