Sharks' Danil Gushchin: Nabs helper in overtime win
Rotowire
Gushchin produced an assist and two shots on goal in Monday's 5-4 overtime win over Utah.
Gushchin set up a Fabian Zetterlund tally in the second period. The helper was Gushchin's first over seven regular-season appearances, which is a bit disappointing after he erupted for a five-assist game in the preseason. The 22-year-old has added eight shots on net, four hits, four blocked shots, four PIM and a minus-3 rating. With Will Smith on a development plan and Ty Dellandrea (upper body) landing on injured reserve, Gushchin should at least receive steady playing time in the short term.

Sharks' Danil Gushchin: Erupts for five assists
Rotowire
Gushchin distributed five assists while adding three shots on goal and a plus-4 rating in Saturday's 6-5 preseason win over the Golden Knights.
Gushchin had his hands all over the Sharks' frantic third-period comeback effort. After the game, head coach Ryan Warsofsky told reporters that Gushchin had a good camp, Max Miller of NHL.com reports. Gushchin's performance Saturday might be enough to earn the 22-year-old a spot on the Opening Night roster, and he may even begin the year in a top-six role, given the Sharks' lack of proven NHL-level talent.

Sharks' Danil Gushchin: Dropped back to minors
Rotowire
Gushchin was reassigned to AHL San Jose on Friday, Max Miller of The Hockey News reports.
Gushchin's demotion to the minors is expected to be temporary considering the team doesn't play again until Monday's clash with Vancouver. In his two outings this season, the 21-year-old winger has notched one assist, three shots and five blocks. If he does get recalled before the trip to Vancouver, Gushchin should be in line for a top-six role and a spot on the power play.
