Should be available after break Reaves (upper body) should be ready to return when the Sharks resume play against the Flames on Feb. 26, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.

Impact Reaves was placed on injured reserve ahead of the Sharks' final game before the Olympic break, but he seems to be back to full health with just over a week before the team resumes play. The 39-year-old hasn't been officially activated from injured reserve, but he'll have just over a week to regain his conditioning at practice with the Sharks.

Set for stint on IR Reaves (upper body) was put on injured reserve Tuesday, according to Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News.

Impact Reaves now won't be an option until at least the beginning of March, as he'll be unable to play in San Jose's next three games, two of which will be at the end of February following the 2026 Winter Olympics. The 39-year-old's placement on injured reserve has opened up a roster spot for the Sharks, which could pave the way for Kiefer Sherwood (upper body) to be activated from his own IR stint and make his debut with the team Wednesday in Colorado.

Contending with UBI Reaves is dealing with an upper-body injury and is questionable to play in Colorado on Wednesday, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.

Impact Head coach Ryan Warsofsky wouldn't rule Reaves out for Wednesday's game, but the winger didn't practice Tuesday, so it seems unlikely he will be an option against the Avalanche. Reaves has failed to register a point in his last 14 outings, going minus-5 in that span, so his injury is unlikely to affect the majority of fantasy managers.
