Tommy Wingels And Justin Braun Out For Weeks After Being Injured Last Night

from Curtis Pashelka of the Mercury News,

Sharks coach Todd McLellan provided a status update on injured players Tommy Wingels and Justin Braun on Tuesday, and the news wasn't encouraging.

Wingels and Braun, who both suffered upper body injuries during Monday's 5-2 loss to the New Jersey Devils, will be out "weeks" according to McLellan, with the Sharks clinging to a Western Conference playoff position.

At 6:39 of the second period, Braun blocked a shot by New Jersey forward Mike Cammalleri and left the ice for good 19 seconds later at the next stoppage.

Wingels was slashed by Devils defenseman Jon Merrill on what appeared to be his left hand or wrist with 11:47 left in the third period as the Sharks were on the power play.
