San Jose has signed Ty Dellandrea to a two-year contract worth $1.625 million AAV ($3.25M total).

Dellandrea has battled some injuries this season and has been sidelined since early January due to a lower-body injury, but he has been an effective bottom-six forward when healthy, earning himself a two-year contract extension. The 25-year-old Dellandrea is averaging 14:24 time-on-ice, recording 11 points (2G / 9A) and 117 hits in 42 games this season.

Askarov (lower-body) will not dress for Thursday's game in Boston.

With Alex Nedeljkovic already confirmed as the Sharks' starting goalie for Thursday's game against the Boston Bruins, the Sharks announce Askarov will be able to serve as his backup. It does not seem as though Askarov's injury is a long-term concern, given that he was not immediately ruled out of the game.

With Alex Nedeljkovic already confirmed as the Sharks' starting goalie for Thursday's game against the Boston Bruins, it is unclear if Askarov will be able to serve as his backup. It does not seem as though Askarov's injury is a long-term concern, given that he has not been completely ruled out of the game.
