Sharks Prospect Cam Lund Exits Rookie Faceoff With Injury
Lund was hurt in the first period of the Sept. 12 Rookie Faceoff game against the Kings, briefly returned, then missed the rest of the game.
San Jose Sharks prospect Cam Lund was injured in the first period of the Sept. 12 Rookie Faceoff game against the Los Angeles Kings after taking a hit from Kings defenseman Jared Woolley. He returned for one more shift but did not play in the second or third periods.
Broadcaster Nick Nollenberger reported during the game that Lund was done for the night. Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now noted that Lund's reaction after the hit suggested an upper-body issue.
John McCarthy said after the game that Lund would be re-evaluated on Sept. 13 and that more information on his status would follow, per Curtis Pashelka of the San Jose Mercury News.
The timing is the part that stings. Lund missed the end of the 2025-26 season with an upper-body injury that required surgery. He put up nine goals and 26 points in 37 games with the San Jose Barracuda in his AHL rookie season before that campaign was cut short.
McCarthy's postgame remarks did not establish the injury's severity.
