Sharks' Shakir Mukhamadullin: Won't play in rookie games

Mukhamadullin is dealing with general soreness and won't play in any rookie games for the Sharks, Max Miller of The Hockey News reports Friday.

Mukhamadullin is expected to be good to go for main camp, which suggests the issue is indeed a minor one. The 22-year-old blueliner will be competing for a depth role with the Sharks, though it's likely he'll see some time with AHL San Jose in 2024-25.
