The San Jose Sharks\u2019 opening night roster is starting to really take shape.<\/p>\n
The Sharks officially re-assigned nine players to the San Jose Barracuda, forwards Filip Bystedt, Igor Chernyshov<\/a>, Kasper Halttunen, and Oliver Wahlstrom; defensemen Cole Clayton, Jake Furlong, and Braden Hache; and goaltenders Gabriel Carriere and Matt Davis.<\/p>\n In addition, they put forwards Shane Bowers, Jimmy Huntington, Samuel Laberge, and Oskar Olausson, and goaltender Jakub Skarek on waivers. If they clear waivers, these five players will report to Barracuda camp.<\/p>\n That leaves 36 players on the San Jose Sharks\u2019 training camp roster.<\/p>\n There are 23 forwards, 14 who appear to be the closest to the opening night roster: Adam Gaudette, Alex Wennberg, Barclay Goodrow, Carl Grundstrom, Collin Graf, Jeff Skinner, Macklin Celebrini, Michael Misa, Philipp Kurashev, Ryan Reaves, Ty Dellandrea, Tyler Toffoli, Will Smith, and William Eklund.<\/p>\n Six forwards, Egor Afanasyev, Ethan Cardwell, Cam Lund, Quentin Musty, Zack Ostapchuk, and Pavol Regenda, appear to still be in the running for an NHL job.<\/p>\n Patrick Giles, Donavan Houle, and Colin White are injured, and are likely to start in the AHL when they get healthy.<\/p>\n There are 11 defensemen, nine who appear closest to the opening night roster: Vincent Desharnais, Sam Dickinson, Mario Ferraro, John Klingberg, Nick Leddy, Timothy Liljegren, Shakir Mukhamadullin, Dmitry Orlov, and Jack Thompson.<\/p>\n Waiver-exempt prospect Luca Cagnoni and injured Lucas Carlsson appear ticketed for the Cuda.<\/p>\n There are two goaltenders, Yaroslav Askarov and Alex Nedeljkovic.<\/p>\n So the San Jose Sharks\u2019 roster, crossing out waived and injury players, is down to 32 players, 20 forwards, 10 defensemen, and two goalies.<\/p>\n They\u2019ll need to pare that down to 23 before opening night on Oct. 9.<\/p>\n To help do that, the San Jose Sharks held a scrimmage on Tuesday, featuring some very NHL-like lines.<\/p>\n The #SJSharks<\/a> are split into two groups before they scrimmage. Here are some of the lines from one group:<\/p>\n Kurashev-Celebrini-Smith Leddy-Klingberg \u2014 Max Miller (@Real_Max_Miller) September 30, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Lines, d-pairs in other #SJSharks<\/a> practice this morning.<\/p>\n Toffoli-Misa-Eklund Ferraro-Orlov \u2014 Curtis Pashelka (@CurtisPashelka) September 30, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n #SJSharks<\/a> running some power play units during the scrimmage.<\/p>\n PP1: Klingberg-Celebrini-Smith-Toffoli-Eklund<\/p>\n PP2: Orlov-Skinner-Misa-Kurashev-Wennberg<\/p>\n \u2014 Max Miller (@Real_Max_Miller) September 30, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Macklin Celebrini participated, though he\u2019s still not quite ready for a pre-season game.<\/p>\n Celebrini, however, should get into one of the Sharks\u2019 two weekend pre-season contests, Oct. 3 at the Vegas Golden Knights or Oct. 4 at the Utah Mammoth.<\/p>\n Celebrini is close to playing, Warsofsky says.<\/p>\n “We’ll check in the morning. He’s got one more little hurdle to get through. It’s probably mostly likely at the end of the week.” #SJSharks<\/a> have 3 pre-season games left, all this week, Wed\/Fri\/Sat<\/p>\n \u2014 Sheng Peng (@Sheng_Peng) September 30, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n
