Sbisa has agreed to become a development coach for the San Jose Sharks, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Sbisa hasn't played since 2020-21 when he logged just one game for the Predators. With his playing career behind him, he'll hang up his skates having appeared in 549 over 13 years for seven different organizations, most prominently with the Ducks for five seasons.

Sbisa (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Sbisa made his season debut Sunday against Dallas, recording three hits and two blocked shots in just under 12 minutes of ice time. The 30-year-old blueliner will miss at least the next three contests with an upper-body injury. He'll be eligible to return Feb. 1 against the Lightning, but it's unclear what his current timetable looks like.

The Predators have added Sbisa (COVID-19) to their active roster.

EDGE Analysis

Sbisa was unavailable for Nashville's season opener Thursday due to the NHL's COVID-19 protocol, but he'll be an option for Saturday's rematch with the Blue Jackets, although it wouldn't be surprising to see him serve as a healthy scratch. The 30-year-old blueliner, who the Predators claimed off waivers Tuesday, picked up 10 points in 44 games with the Jets last campaign.

Sbisa is unavailable due to the league's COVID-19 protocols.

EDGE Analysis

The specifics of his placement remain unclear, but Sbisa will not be able to practice or travel with the team until he's been cleared. This news likely rules the Swiss-born player out of Thursday's game against the Blue Jackets, but there's no specific timeline for his return.

Sbisa was claimed off waivers by the Predators from the Jets on Monday, Pierre LeBrun of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sbisa will be playing for his fifth franchise in as many seasons with his move to Nashville. Considering he will have to cross the border, there is no guarantee the 30-year-old blueliner will be available for Opening Night against the Flames on Thursday. Even if he does arrive in time, Sbisa may be hard-pressed to force his way into the lineup over Mark Borowiecki or Matt Benning but should serve as a capable emergency option in the case of injury.

Sbisa was placed on waivers by Winnipeg on Monday, Rick Ralph of TSN 1290 Winnipeg reports.

EDGE Analysis

The fact that Sbisa was waived Monday likely clears the way for Tucker Poolman to take on a more prominent role this season. Given his veteran experience, the 30-year-old Sbisa will almost certainly be placed on the taxi squad which will allow him to continue practicing with the Jets during the season.

Sbisa signed a one-year, $800,000 deal with the Jets on Friday, Darren Dreger of TSN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sbisa suited up in 44 games with the Jets last season, scoring a pair of goals and 10 points. The 30-year-old blueliner was dealing with an upper-body injury before the league's shutdown but he was a healthy scratch for all four of Winnipeg's postseason games.

General manager Kevin Cheveldayoff believes Sbisa has recovered from the upper-body injury he was dealing with prior to the suspension of the NHL's season in mid-March, Scott Billeck of the Winnipeg Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sbisa missed Winnipeg's final 10 games prior to the league's stoppage with an upper-body issue, but he's had over three months to recover at this point. The Jets have a ton of options at defense, so it currently isn't clear where the 30-year-old Italian will fit into the lineup once postseason play gets underway.

Sbisa is dealing with an upper-body injury that will keep him out of the lineup for a week at minimum, Brian Munz of TSN 1290 Winnipeg reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sbisa was just two games back from a lower-body issue and will now go back onto the injury list. With just 10 points in 44 contests this year, the blueliner doesn't offer much in terms of offensive production even when healthy, Sbisa's absence will allow Sami Niku (undisclosed) to get back into the lineup versus Los Angeles on Tuesday. Considering he will miss at least the next four contests, Sbisa figures to be placed on IR soon.

Sbisa recorded four hits in just under 14 minutes of ice time during Friday's 3-2 loss to the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran blueliner had missed the prior three games with a lower-body injury. but Sbisa looked like his usual rugged self in his return, albeit in a smaller than normal workload. He has only two goals and 10 points through 43 games this season, but he provides more value in formats with a deeper mix of categories as he's added 88 hits and 71 blocked shots to his ledger.
