San Jose Sharks activate Andrew Desjardins off injured reserve.

If Desjardins plays Tuesday night, it will likely be as the fourth-line center. He has 36 penalty minutes in 10 games this season and has very little value in most leagues.

The San Jose Sharks have placed Andrew Desjardins on injured reserve.

The center has not played since coach Todd Richards said he had "the sniffles" on Friday, but Sharks beat writer Kevin Kurz noticed Tuesday that Desjardins had suddenly been listed as being on injured reserve. Obviously, it's a bit of a jump to go from the sniffles to injured reserve, but we have yet to see an explanation for the move. We'll update you as soon as we know more.

Andrew Desjardins did not practice Friday due to an illness.

Desjardins has what coach Todd Richards called "the sniffles," which leads us to believe he'll be fine in time to play Saturday night. However, teammate Dan Boyle missed two of the last five games with an illness so it's possible there's a bug running through the locker room. To be safe, we'll sideline him and list him as day-to-day and update you when we know more, likely after tomorrow's morning skate.
