Is it confirmed that Donskoi will be back for the playoffs?
Sounds like he's okay, also it was probably his wrist so skating doesn't mean much. Good sign that he's staying in game shape though
Kurz says shoulder.
Fair enough. I'll edit the original.He didn't so much say it as he snarked it.
I'd be slightly surprised if he's not back for the 1st round. He says the knee feels strong (and the other knee is stronger than ever), he's already skating and there's still two and a half weeks until the playoffs start. Also, it was cut off at the beginning, but it appears that he says he's been working out a lot besides the rehab. He could probably bench a truck now
In all honesty, he looks fatter and more out of shape than ever in the shirtless interview picture that the Sharks' Instagram account just posted in their story.
Let’s give it time. Many of us myself included went from his season/playoffs is toast to optimism when he hit the ice. Things can change quick and only he knows how he feels. My guess is mid-round one to start of round two for a return depending on the circumstances of the first round series. Meaning, if there’s a game 6 facing elimination or game 7 and he’s close enough he will play. If not they’ll try to give him until round 2. Just a guess on my part. Awesome to see and hear an interview with him. What an emotional boost it would be for him to get into playoff action and I’m sure being out there today was uplifting for everyone.

Do you still have the pic? Not finding it on their instagram page, but he doesn't look any worse in the video interview Leb posted.
I wouldn't rush him anyway. Keep it out of the 1st round. Consider putting him in the 2nd if the team is still in it and he's ready.
