Ducks Coach Bruce Boudreau said Silfverberg was fine and kept him out for precautionary reasons.

"There was no sense bringing him back," Boudreau said. "But we've seen that before."

Torres has a history of suspensions and is facing another one after he was ejected with a match penalty for intent to injure.

"Same player every year," Ryan Kesler said. "I played with the guy [in Vancouver]. He needs to learn how to hit. That has no part in our game anymore."

Sharks forward Raffi Torres is in danger of receiving another long term suspension from the NHL after he was given a match penalty for an illegal hit to the head of Jakob Silfverberg in the first period of San Jose’s game against Anaheim on Saturday at the Honda Center.

Torres was given a 10-minute misconduct and ejected from the game for the hit on the Ducks’ Silfverberg, which came with 7:15 to go in the first period. Silfverberg left the ice and did not return for the rest of the period.

According to NHL rules, any player who receives a match penalty player “shall be automatically suspended from further competition until the Commissioner has ruled on the issue.”

Torres has been suspended four times in his NHL career.
