Rotowire
Misa (lower body) has been moved from regular IR to long-term injured reserve and loaned to AHL San Jose for a conditioning stint, the team announced Wednesday.
Misa has a goal and three points in seven appearances this season. He hasn't played since Nov. 1 because of the injury. Heading to the minors will be a good chance for Misa to shake off the rust and log big minutes as he continues his development.

Sharks' Michael Misa: Set to miss several more weeks
Rotowire
Head coach Ryan Warsofsky said Monday that Misa (lower body) is slated to miss more than two additional weeks, Max Miller of NHL.com reports.
Misa landed on injured reserve Nov. 6, and he was considered week-to-week when the move was made. He doesn't yet have a clear timetable to return, but Warsofsky indicated Monday that Misa is behind Jeff Skinner (lower body), who is set to miss approximately two weeks. As a result, Misa isn't expected to be in the mix to return until at least early December.

Sharks' Michael Misa: Is week-to-week
Rotowire
Misa (lower body) is regarded as being week-to-week, Max Miller of NHL.com reports Friday.
Misa missed Wednesday's 6-1 win over Seattle after sustaining the injury during a team practice. San Jose has been easing the 18-year-old into the NHL, and consequently, he was a healthy scratch in two of San Jose's three games before the injury. Misa has a goal and three points in seven appearances this season.

Sharks' Michael Misa: Placed on injured reserve
Rotowire
Misa (lower body) was placed on injured reserve by the Sharks on Thursday, per the NHL media site.
Misa suffered a lower-body injury during practice this week that forced him to miss Wednesday's matchup against Seattle, and he'll be unavailable for multiple games after landing on injured reserve. It's not yet clear when Misa will be able to return, but Zack Ostapchuk will likely have a chance to see some playing time for the Sharks after he was called up Thursday.

Sharks' Michael Misa: Ruled out versus Jets
Rotowire
Misa (lower body) will not be in the lineup against Winnipeg on Friday, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.
The full extent of Misa's lower-body injury hasn't been determined yet, as he continues to be evaluated, but he will be on the shelf for his second straight game. With Misa unavailable, Adam Gaudette figures to remain in a top-six role alongside Philipp Kurashev. Considering the Sharks are heading into a back-to-back, it seems unlikely Misa will be cleared in time to face Florida on Saturday, though he hasn't been officially ruled out.

Sharks' Michael Misa: Gets first NHL goal
Rotowire
Misa scored a goal and added two PIM in Sunday's 6-5 overtime win over the Wild.
Misa has gotten on the scoresheet in each of his last three appearances, earning a goal and two assists. Through five outings overall, he has produced four shots on net, three blocked shots and two hits. Misa has been sheltered from playing in back-to-back sets and is averaging 12:22 of ice time so far in a third-line role with power-play time. The Sharks play four times in six days between Tuesday and Sunday, so Misa will likely suit up in no more than three of those contests.

Sharks' Michael Misa: Earns first NHL assist
Rotowire
Misa notched an assist in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Islanders.
Misa appears to be on a development plan, as he's played in just three of the Sharks' first six games. He got on the scoresheet for the first time as an NHLer when he set up an Adam Gaudette tally in the first period. Misa has added three shots on net, two hits, two blocked shots and a minus-2 rating. The No. 2 pick from 2025 is slotting in on the third line for now, but his long-term home is likely to be as a second-line center behind Macklin Celebrini on the depth chart.
