The Sharks placed goalie James Reimer on injured reserve Monday and recalled forward Jeffrey Viel from the Barracuda, the team’s AHL affiliate. A team spokesperson said Reimer, forward Nico Sturm, and defensemen Mario Ferraro all flew with the Sharks Monday to Montreal, where they begin a four-game road trip against the Canadiens on Tuesday. Sturm and Ferraro are already on IR. Sharks coach David Quinn said after the team’s 4-3 overtime loss to the Vancouver Canucks on Sunday that Ferraro, out with a lower-body injury, would not join the team on the trip. But those plans changed, and Ferraro, if he’s able to play, would be eligible to be activated prior to the Sharks’ game with the Ottawa Senators on Saturday. Ferraro, 24, last played Friday against the Los Angeles Kings. He blocked four shots in that game and was placed on IR the next day. Ferraro is 12th in the NHL with 47 blocked shots this season. The Sharks also have games against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Wednesday and close out the trip against the Buffalo Sabres on Sunday. San Jose has lost five of its last six games and entered Monday in seventh place in the Pacific Division with a 7-13-4 record.

The Nashville Predators traded forward Luke Kunin to the San Jose Sharks in exchange for a 2023 third-round pick and forward John Leonard, the team announced Friday. Kunin, 24, was acquired in a 2020 draft-day trade from Minnesota in exchange for Nick Bonino along with picks. The Chesterfield, Missouri native scored 23 goals and recorded 18 assists in 120 games over two seasons for the Predators. IIHF World Junior Hockey Championship

Possible that Gambrell slots into the lineup in place of Donskoi. I assume Donskoi is a game time decision after participating in the optional skate.
