Cardwell was reassigned to AHL San Jose on Tuesday, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Cardwell's demotion comes as a slight surprise, as it leaves the team with no extra forwards on the 23-man roster but nine defensemen. A roster spot was needed to activate William Eklund (lower body) off injured reserve, and it seems the team didn't want to send any of its three space blueliners to the minors. For his part, Cardwell has notched one goal, three shots and four hits in four outings while averaging 12:21 of ice time.

Sharks' Ethan Cardwell: Finds twine Wednesday
Rotowire
Cardwell scored a goal, added two PIM and logged two hits in Wednesday's 6-1 win over the Kraken.
Cardwell's goal late in the first period stood as the game-winner. The 23-year-old forward has played the last two games as the Sharks have been short at forward due to the absences of William Eklund (lower body), Michael Misa (lower body) and Ryan Reaves (lower body). Cardwell may not stick with the big club once everyone's healthy, but he could make that a tougher decision if he can chip in semi-regular offense.
