Sharks Travel Plans Halted by FAA's Ongoing National Ground Stop

The San Jose Sharks are scheduled to play the Utah Mammoth tomorrow night at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City, but a national ground order by the Federal Aviation Administration has put that in doubt. 

As initially reported by Natalie Noury of NBC Sports, the Sharks are still in San Jose as all flights nationwide have been grounded with no timeline for when they'll be able to get back into the air. 

Noury shared the following statement from Sharks PR staff: 

“The team is still in San Jose and at this time we do not have any updates related to our departure time to Utah. When we have some more confirmed details, we’ll provide that to you”

The issue is compounded by the fact that the Sharks need to be back in San Jose on Sunday to host the Nashville Predators for their annual Hockey Fights Cancer night at the SAP Center. 

UPDATE (6:13 PM): Per Max Miller, the Sharks have been cleared to fly to Utah
