Mirco Mueller News

Mueller was a healthy scratch for the last two games, but has been reassigned to San Jose, likely to be in the lineup on Friday and could return to the Sharks because Dylan DeMelo is out for eight weeks.

Mueller has eight assists in 25 games with the Barracuda this season. The No.18 pick in 2013 has been recalled because Marc-Edouard Vlasic (face) was placed on IR on Monday and David Schlemko (upper-body) is questionable to play vs. the Kings, so Mueller could make his season debut. The 21-year-old has one goal and three assists (four points) in 50 career NHL games.

Mueller, 21, has registered seven assists in 18 games with the Barracuda this season, which ranks him third among San Jose (AHL) defenseman. Mueller has one goal and three assists in 50 career NHL games (all last season).

Mueller, 21, has six assists in 16 games with the Barracuda and has been recalled because David Schlemko is battling an injury. Mueller would make his season debut if Schlemko isn’t able to play—the 2013 No.18 overall pick has one goal and three assists in 50 career NHL games.

Mueller, 20, has eight points (1G / 7A) in 30 games with San Jose (AHL) this season and no points in 10 games with the Sharks. He has been recalled to serve as a extra defenseman with Brenden Dillon out.

Mueller was a healthy scratch on Saturday with Paul Martin back in the lineup. Martin did not suffer any setbacks in the game, so Mueller heads back to the AHL.

Mueller, 20, has one assist in three games with San Jose (AHL) and is expected to be in the lineup on Thursday vs. Los Angeles. The 2013 18th overall pick has four points (1G / 3A) in 39 career NHL games.

Mueller had his hand/wrist wrapped on Friday after blocking a shot on Thursday in Detroit. He left the game and did not return and will miss at least the remainder of the Sharks road-trip (two games min.)

Mueller, 19, was sent down to play a few AHL games during the All Star break. He has one goal in three games in Worcester and three points (1G / 2A) in 24 games with San Jose.

Mueller has not dressed for the Sharks since December 11th. With the All Star break looming, he will head to Worcester to get a couple of games in, before likely returning to the team next week. With Justin Braun out, Mueller will have a good chance to work his way back into the lineup.

Despite being a healthy scratch again, head coach Todd McLellan said that Mueller is "not going anywhere." The 19-year-old defenseman has one assist in his first five NHL games, while averaging 18:36 per night. When the head coach says that you are here to stay, that has to help boost the young defenseman's confidence. Expect to see him back on the blueline real soon.

Mueller, 18, was taken with the 18th overall selection in June's draft. The native of Switzerland was named his club's rookie of the year after totaling six goals and 31 points in 63 games with the Everett Silvertips of the Western Hockey League last season.
