Sharks Recall Filip Bystedt, Eye NHL Debut vs. Canucks
Main Story
The Sharks recalled Filip Bystedt from the AHL on Wednesday, putting the 22-year-old center in line for a potential NHL debut Thursday against Vancouver. The move comes as San Jose looks to steady its season after three straight losses and amid injuries to forwards Igor Chernyshov and Alex Wennberg.
By the Numbers- Bystedt has 4 goals and 8 points in 8 AHL games this season.
- He recorded 22 goals and 60 points in 65 games with the Barracuda in 2025-26.
- San Jose is 6-6-1 with 13 points through 13 games.
- Bystedt was selected No. 27 overall in the 2022 NHL Draft.
- San Jose also recalled defenseman Libor Hajek and assigned defenseman Luca Cagnoni to the Barracuda.
- The Sharks have first-round picks from each of their past five drafts on the active roster.
- Bystedt could make his debut when the Sharks host the Canucks Thursday at 7 p.m. Pacific.
Bystedt’s strong AHL start has earned him a chance to help a Sharks team searching for momentum—and potentially add another young first-round pick to its lineup.
