SAN JOSE — Forward Mike Brown has an upper body injury and will not play on the Sharks’ upcoming five game road trip, Sharks coach Todd McLellan said Sunday.

Brown suffered the injury Saturday against Winnipeg, as he blocked a shot from by Jets’ Paul Postma with 9:39 left in the second period. Brown stayed on the ice until the next whistle, then left the ice, went straight to the Sharks dressing room and did not return.

After the game, a 3-0 Sharks win, Brown left the arena with tape on the index and middle fingers of his left hand. McLellan said Brown will still make the road trip but would not play.

Brown’s injury could open the door for John Scott to get into the lineup when the Sharks play Tuesday in Washington. Scott, signed as a free agent in the offseason, has been a healthy scratch for San Jose’s first two games.

Forwards James Sheppard and Tyler Kennedy practiced Sunday, with Kennedy on injured reserve. Sheppard missed all of training camp as he recovered from a surgical procedure on his left knee, but has skated with the team in recent days.

“Right now, they’re in their training camp,” McLellan said of Sheppard and Kennedy. “They’re three weeks behind everybody on timing and conditioning, but they’re healthy enough to (practice), so that’s a good thing. Now it’s a matter of getting their training camp in and getting ready to play.”
