Cicek was reassigned to AHL San Jose on Wednesday.
Following the Sharks' acquisition of Jacob MacDonald from the Avalanche in a four-player trade, Cicek will head down to the minors. The 22-year-old Cicek has produced four assists through his first 14 NHL contests, but he'll likely see more meaningful minutes with the Barracuda, especially since defensive prospect Ryan Merkley was shipped out in the same trade that brought MacDonald to the Bay Area.

Sharks' Nick Cicek: Earns first career point
Rotowire
Cicek logged an assist in Thursday's 7-4 loss to the Red Wings.
Cicek picked up the first point of his NHL career, earning the secondary helper on a Matt Nieto goal in the first period. This was just the second game Cicek's played since he was called up Nov. 14. He's seen a third-pairing role, and his success in that spot allowed the Sharks to waive Scott Harrington prior to Thursday's contest. Cicek will likely have a clear path to playing time until Radim Simek (undisclosed) is ready to return.
