San Jose Sharks shake up their roster as Igor Chernyshov and Ethan Cardwell earn recalls amid injuries to Will Smith and Philipp Kurashev. With Smith and Kurashev on IR and the team navigating a challenging stretch, the Sharks’ forward lines enter a critical transition—can these call-ups provide the spark San Jose needs to weather the storm?
JD Young covers what Chernyshov brings to the lineup after dominating with the Barracuda, highlighting his power-forward game, scoring touch, and potential chemistry with Macklin Celebrini and William Eklund. Plus, Cardwell’s hard-nosed bottom-six role and penalty-killing prowess could help steady the ship. Hear which lines might get reshuffled, how the Sharks are managing Michael Misa’s contract, and why these roster moves could shape the team’s trajectory heading into must-win matchups against the Flames, Stars, and Kraken.

Smith gonna be out until there's a contract spot on the team for Misa. Then Smith will get healthy and Misa will come back and Chernyshov will get sent back down and we'll have to wait till 26/27 season to see Misa and Chernyshov together again.
Gaudette, Skinner, Cardwell could be very interesting.
I like Eklund Wennberg Toffoli on 2 and Chernyshov, Mac, Graf on the top line.
Nice shirt JD!
Any word on Muk’s injury? When he comes back they should sit Leddy.
Yeah I don’t see Warsofsky passing up the chance to get some hard skill playing with Mac. Chernyshov is a bona fide power forward.
The Kraken are coming this week. Cardwell needs to keep his streak of only scoring on Seattle alive!
Completely off topic. But man do I hope Ilyas Magomedsultanov makes the sharks one day. Numbers taking a good improvement in the mhl for a defensive defenseman. Far off prospect but a goat name I hope makes it one day.
