"The San Jose Sharks have activated forward William Eklund off injured reserve and will have him in the lineup Tuesday when they play the Minnesota Wild at Grand Casino Arena to begin a three-game road trip. Eklund, who had missed the last four games with a lower-body injury, was a full participant in Monday's practice in San Jose and Tuesday's morning skate in St. Paul. On Monday, he skated on the Sharks' second line with Alexander Wennberg and Philipp Kurashev."
"To create a roster spot for Eklund, the Sharks returned forward Ethan Cardwell to the Barracuda. Cardwell played four games with the Sharks after his recall from the AHL on Nov. 2 and didn't necessarily look out of place as he scored one goal and averaged 12:21 in ice time. Eklund is the Sharks' third-leading scorer this season with 11 points in 12 games."
The San Jose Sharks activated forward William Eklund off injured reserve and will have him in the lineup Tuesday against the Minnesota Wild at Grand Casino Arena. Eklund missed four games with a lower-body injury but practiced fully Monday and skated Tuesday morning, and he skated on the second line with Alexander Wennberg and Philipp Kurashev. To open a roster spot, forward Ethan Cardwell was returned to the Barracuda after four NHL games with one goal and 12:21 average ice time. Eklund has 11 points in 12 games and produced a four-goal, five-assist stretch in late October. Defenseman Timothy Liljegren will be a healthy scratch for Tuesday after averaging 20:31 in 13 games and recently playing on the top pair with Dmitry Orlov. The Sharks finish the road trip with games in Calgary and Seattle.
