SJHN Daily: Chernyshov Should Play Soon, Top 2025 Draft D-Man Suffers Serious Injury
Igor Chernyshov is on the way back.
The 2024 San Jose Sharks’ second-round pick, out since August after shoulder surgery, has been skating recently at Sharks Ice, as part of his rehabilitation.
He told the Mercury News on Monday that he return to action some time in January.

Chernyshov will suit up for the OHL’s Saginaw Spirit, trying to keep pace in the Western Conference playoff race. The defending Memorial Cup champions are 17-17-1.
The 6-foot-3 Russian winger has scoring power forward potential. Last year, he split the 2023-24 campaign between the KHL and MHL, putting up three goals and one assist in 34 KHL games for Dynamo Moscow, and 13 goals and 15 assists in just 22 MHL games with MHK Dynamo Moscow.

Even more than Eklund and Walman getting healthy, I need Chernyshov and Musty to get healthy so I can get overly excited for Studs Too Good for the CHL. I think Chernyshov is going to be a solid step above Halttunen, who was himself a nice surprise in this category in his D+1.
