Sounds like mrsa/staph. Sucks if true.

Later tweet indicated it was not the "bad" infection that Jumbo had.

...When did Jumbo have an infection?

Probably from when he went to Europe

I saw Braun today at the practice. I don't think he skated but it looked like he was better.

Dubinsky was just on the IR with an infected elbow, wonder if it's a Columbus issue since the Sharks were just there?

(Goes to wash hands)

Should be back for Ducks game on Friday if all goes well.

 

[hohosaregood]

Can they do retroactive IR? If so, he could be back by Wednesday I think.

Retroactive to Monday, so could come off by Pittsburgh game.

However, sounds like it might be Friday or Saturday's game before he's ready to return.

Better... Sharks have three back to back game sets in December. They are going to need health.

Smoke screen, they're trading him for a top-4 D-man.

The Sharks keep losing players to infection post-procedure. It's costing the team and it's got to stop.

He didn't get an infection post-operation. He got a cut and it got infected. They operated on him and now they're treating him with antibiotics which is fairly common.

I'm guessing the area wasn't cleaned well enough before stitching.
