Chrona was sent to Nashville from San Jose along with David Edstrom and a conditional first-round pick in 2025 in exchange for Yaroslav Askarov, Nolan Burke and a 2025 third-round selection Friday.
Chrona saw his first NHL action in 2023-24 for the bottom-dwelling Sharks, going 1-6-1 with a 4.71 GAA and an .859 save percentage. He will likely start the 2024-25 campaign with AHL Milwaukee, as the Predators are set between the pipes with Juuse Saros and Scott Wedgewood.

Sharks' Magnus Chrona: Sent back to minors
Rotowire
Chrona was reassigned to AHL San Jose on Thursday.
Chrona's demotion comes on the heels of a four-game losing streak during which he posted a 4.83 GAA and .854 save percentage. In a corresponding move, the Sharks activated Mackenzie Blackwood (groin) off injured reserve. As such, Chrona likely will finish the year in the minors with the Barracuda.

Sharks' Magnus Chrona: Gives up eight goals
Rotowire
Chrona stopped 32 of 40 shots in Tuesday's 8-2 loss to the Predators.
Chrona and the Sharks had a 2-1 lead almost halfway through the game but it went downhill from there. The Predators scored seven unanswered goals in only a 26:42 span -- it's safe to say this game was a rout. This was the fourth loss in a row for Chrona and he only has one win on the season. Fantasy managers should look elsewhere for goaltending help unless Chrona can dramatically turn things around soon. He's best left on the waiver wire in most leagues.

Chrona allowed three goals on 19 shots in Saturday's 4-2 loss to Columbus, making it his third straight defeat. The 23-year-old is still trying to figure out his game at the NHL level, recording an .869 save percentage and a 1-5-1 record in eight starts. He will have a tough task Tuesday against Nashville, which is currently holding onto the number one wild-card spot in the Western Conference.

Sharks' Magnus Chrona: Drops third straight
Rotowire
Chrona allowed three goals on 19 shots in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Blue Jackets. The fourth goal was an empt-netter.
It was a tough night for Chrona, who allowed a goal in the first period and two more in the second en route to his third consecutive loss. The 23-year-old Chrona has struggled in his first NHL stint, going 1-5-1 with an .869 save percentage and a 4.23 GAA during the absence of Mackenzie Blackwood (groin). Devin Cooley will start Sunday in the second leg of a back-to-back, and Chrona could be relegated to backup duties soon because Blackwood is getting close to a return to the lineup.

Sharks' Magnus Chrona: Falls to Pittsburgh
Rotowire
Chrona allowed five goals on 30 shots in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Penguins.
It was a tough night for Chrona, who allowed a pair of goals in each of the final two frames in an eventual 6-3 defeat. The 23-year-old netminder is now 1-4-1 with an uninspiring .872 save percentage and 4.43 GAA through his first seven NHL appearances. While Chrona will likely see the majority of starts until Mackenzie Blackwood (groin) returns, he's hard to trust as a fantasy option behind a last-place Sharks team.

Sharks' Magnus Chrona: No match for Islanders
Rotowire
Chrona stopped 26 of 33 shots in Thursday's 7-2 loss to the Islanders.
Chrona gave up a couple of soft goals in the first period and then unraveled completely in the second. Anders Lee also banked a power-play tally off Chrona in the third. He is now 0-2-1 with 17 goals allowed over four appearances this season. If Kaapo Kahkonen is dealt before Friday's trade deadline, Chrona could remain in the NHL down the stretch, though his starts are unlikely to go very well given the team in front of him.

Chrona has a 3.51 GAA and an .892 save percentage in 24 AHL contests as well as a 9.50 GAA and a .724 save percentage in two outings with the Sharks this season. He's with the big club because Mackenzie Blackwood (undisclosed) was hurt Tuesday and put on injured reserve Wednesday.

Chrona's promotion comes as Mackenzie Blackwood was reportedly missing from practice, per Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now.
