Ben Smith left last night’s game after being struck by a puck, Logan Couture is gone for weeks, Joonas Donskoi is banged up, and Melker Karlsson has yet to play in a game – regular season or preseason. Also, Raffi Torres is still suspended for another 36 games,
According to Darryl Hunt, who used to cover the Worcester Sharks, the Sharks have called up Bryan Lerg from the Barracuda. He was definitely a go-to source for years for Worcester news.
