SAN JOSE – It appears being one of the NHL’s leading scorers in the preseason might have enough for Danil Gushchin to land a spot on the San Jose Sharks season-opening roster.
Gushchin practiced with the Sharks on Monday morning as the team assigned defensemen Luca Cagnoni and Jack Thompson, plus forwards Ethan Cardwell and Collin Graf to the Barracuda of the AHL.
Macklin Celebrini was also on the ice for the Sharks on Monday morning, marking the first time he’s practiced with the team since he aggravated a lower-body injury in a preseason game last Tuesday at SAP Center.
NHL teams need to finalize their salary-cap-compliant rosters of no more than 23 players to the league office by Monday at 2 p.m. (PT).
