"Cardwell had a hat-trick, with all of his goals assisted by Regenda, against a Vegas lineup that was almost wholly comprised of NHL players. The two also assisted on Egor Afanasyev's second-period goal and saw goalie Alex Nedeljkovic make 29 saves, including 16 in the first two periods, as the Sharks won their second game of the preseason after three straight losses."
"Cardwell's first two goals came at the 1:18 mark of the first period and the 6:48 mark of the third when the Sharks took a 3-0 lead, and he finished the hat trick with an empty-netter with 2:08 to go in regulation. We worked hard and came in here with an attitude that we're going to get pucks deep, get pucks behind them, and kind of skate as hard as we can to win loose pucks, recover them, and get to the net, Cardwell said."
Preseason roster spots for wingers Pavol Regenda and Ethan Cardwell were uncertain after veteran forward additions. Both delivered workmanlike performances and finished with four points apiece in a 4-1 win over the Vegas Golden Knights. Cardwell scored a hat trick, with all goals assisted by Regenda, against a largely NHL-caliber Vegas lineup. The pair also assisted on Egor Afanasyev's second-period goal while goalie Alex Nedeljkovic made 29 saves. The victory was San Jose's second preseason win after three losses. Cardwell remains waivers-exempt and may not make the roster next week, but he strengthened his case for early consideration.
