Sharks' Nikolai Knyzhov: Signs two-year deal

Knyzhov signed a two-year contract extension with San Jose on Wednesday.

Knyzhov has an assist in 13 AHL games with the Barracuda this season. He's also provided a goal and eight PIM in nine appearances with the Sharks in 2022-23. The 25-year-old defenseman was eligible to become a restricted free agent this summer after completing his current one-year, two-way deal.
