San Jose Sharks prospect Igor Chernyshov has officially rejoined the team after being evaluated at a local hospital, according to head coach Ryan Warsofsky. The young forward has been cleared to travel with the Sharks as they head to Canada to face the Ottawa Senators.
The update, initially reported by Elliotte Friedman (@FriedgeHNIC) on Sunday, provides a significant sigh of relief for the San Jose organization.

Chernyshov, a key piece of the Sharks' future, is looking to make an impact as the team continues its regular season schedule. While the specific nature of the medical issue that necessitated the hospital visit remains undisclosed by the team, his inclusion on the flight to Ottawa indicates that he is fit for team activities.
