SAN JOSE — The San Jose Sharks on Tuesday placed forward Ty Dellandrea on injured reserve and recalled forward Ethan Cardwell from their top minor league affiliate, the San Jose Barracuda.
Dellandrea sustained an upper-body injury on Saturday in the Sharks’ game against the Vegas Golden Knights. He did not practice the following day or play in Monday’s game against the Utah Hockey Club, as the Sharks staged a dramatic comeback to earn a 5-4 overtime win for their first victory of the season.
Dellandrea, 24, will have to be on IR for at least seven days, retroactive to Sunday, meaning he will sit, at a minimum, for upcoming games against the Los Angeles Kings on Tuesday, the Chicago Blackhawks on Thursday and the Vancouver Canucks on Saturday.
The 22-year-old Cardwell had an impressive training camp and had five points (one goal, four assists) in six games this season for the Barracuda. On Saturday against the Henderson Silver Knights, Cardwell had a goal and two assists with a plus-4 rating in a 5-3 Barracuda win.
This is Cardwell’s first time on the Sharks’ roster, and he could make his NHL debut Tuesday against the Kings at SAP Center. The Sharks selected Cardwell in the fourth round, 121st overall, in 2021.
