Progress: Torrey Mitchell being sent to Worcester on a conditioning assignment | Working the Corners

Sharks are sending Torrey Mitchell to Worcester on a conditioning assignment. And, yes, that’s a good thing — it’s a sign that his leg is game ready and now it’s a question of making sure his fitness level is up to speed, too.

Mitchell has missed the entire season after breaking his leg on the second day of training camp. He’s been practicing with the team since Dec. 23 and this is the next phase of his return to the lineup in San Jose.

This is great news. It’s hard to forget, but the Sharks run has continued (with very few glitches) despite a series of injuries, including a couple of significant ones (Nabokov, for instance). And Mitchell, it’s easy to forget, was expected to be a key member of the third line, and the Sharks haven’t missed a step without him and his skating speed and hustle.

Nice that he’s getting closer to returning. It’ll just add to the depth of this team, like it needs more depth.
