Jan Rutta Injury: Traveling with team

Rutta (lower body) will join the Sharks on their four-game road trip, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports Monday.

Rutta's presence on the trip means he could return to action at some point during that four-game run, starting with Wednesday's matchup against Minnesota. In the meantime, Lucas Carlsson and Henry Thrun should continue to see plenty of minutes on the blue line.
