Some teams could be hunting for a goalie, which includes the rebuilding Arizona Coyotes, who did not get extraordinary performances from their netminders in the preseason. Karel Vejmelka led the way with a 3.76 goals against normal and a .863 conserve proportion in 3 game titles.

If he does apparent, Dell, presented his NHL knowledge, would most likely be the 1st netminder recalled must both James Reimer or Kaapo Kahkonen get wounded or be in any other case unavailable.

Just after Sunday’s transactions, the Sharks will have 16 forwards, 9 defensemen, and two goalies on their roster, which features rookies William Eklund, Thomas Bordeleau, and Nick Cicek, and injured gamers Alexander Barabanov and Markus Nutivaara.

It’s unclear if possibly Barabanov or Nutivaara will be ready for the Sharks’ next match on Friday at household in opposition to the Carolina Hurricanes. Eklund, Bordeleau, and Cicek can be assigned to the Barracuda without having to go as a result of waivers.
