San Jose Sharks

Adam Gaudette

RW

Gaudette was ruled day-to-day near the start of training camp and didn't log any preseason appearances. The 29-year-old forward was a solid role player for San Jose in 2025-26, where he posted 17 goals, 25 points, 96 shots on net, 53 hits and 33 blocked shots across 66 regular-season outings. When he's ready to return, Gaudette will likely slot somewhere in the team's bottom six or if there's no spot available for him, he could be optioned to AHL San Jose.

Alex Barre-Boulet

C

After the Sharks stated that Barre-Boulet was day-to-day for an undisclosed injury Wednesday, the issue has been deemed to warrant a stint on IR. The 29-year-old forward was efficient with AHL Colorado in 2025-26, where he posted 26 goals and 70 points across 70 regular-season games. While he's expected to play primarily with AHL San Jose in 2026-27, the six-year veteran could play a couple of stints at the NHL level if the team's center depth experiences any injuries.

Quentin Musty

LW

It was relayed Sept. 17 that Musty will be out long term due to his upper-body injury, so his placement on IR-NR doesn't come as a surprise. The 21-year-old had a relatively solid first full season with AHL San Jose in 2025-26, accounting for 21 goals, 45 points and a minus-14 rating over 61 regular-season games. The left-shot winger will likely continue his development with the Barracuda once he moves past his injury.

Cam Lund

C

The Sharks announced in mid-September that Lund was expected to miss about a month due to his upper-body injury, so his placement on non-roster injured reserve isn't particularly surprising. Once he's cleared to return to action, he'll likely report to AHL San Jose.

Kyle Keyser

G

The Sharks announced in mid-September that Keyser was facing a long-term absence due to an upper-body injury, so his placement on non-roster injured reserve isn't particularly surprising. Once he's cleared to return, the 27-year-old will likely report to AHL San Jose.
