San Jose Sharks winger Mike Hoffman is dealing with the first concussion of his career, which he suffered from a hit by Tkachuk on March 9th. Despite being seen on the ice for an optional skate, his participation in upcoming games remains uncertain. The incident occurred during a game against #GoSensGo. There was some confusion regarding Hoffman's status for the next game, as Quinn initially mentioned MacDonald would be out, and Hoffman was initially spotted skating on the 4th line during morning skate, but was later absent from warm-ups, along with Labanc and Smith.

Mike Hoffman is on the ice this morning for the Sharks’ optional skate. We’ll see if he’s an option tonight
Quinn originally said MacDonald would be out, Hoffman was skating on the 4th line during morning skate, but I don't see Hoffman, Labanc, or Smith in warm-ups. So I think MacDonald will skate up front tonight
