Sharks' Igor Chernyshov: Earns assist in NHL debut
Rotowire
Chernyshov logged an assist in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Flames.
This was Chernyshov's NHL debut, and he saw 12:20 of ice time, though he was listed on the top line at even strength. The 20-year-old tore up the AHL with 23 points in 25 games to begin his tenure in that league, though he is unlikely to match that pace at the NHL level. Chernyshov remains an intriguing long-term option for dynasty managers, but his stay in the NHL this year might not be enough to tip the scales for managers in redraft formats.

Chernyshov posted three assists in AHL San Jose's 4-3 overtime win over Texas on Saturday.
Chernyshov had gone three games without a point prior to Saturday. The 20-year-old winger continues to impress in his first AHL campaign -- he's now at 11 goals and 12 assists through 25 outings for the Barracuda this year. He may not get his NHL debut in 2025-26, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him push for a job out of training camp in September.

Chernyshov scored a goal on five shots and added two assists in AHL San Jose's 4-3 win over Colorado on Saturday.
Chernyshov has four goals and five assists over his last five games. The winger has surged throughout November, a positive sign after a sluggish October. He should continue to show immense potential on offense in his first North American professional season.
