Sharks' Jimmy Huntington: Earns three points Friday
Rotowire
Huntington scored a goal and added two assists in AHL San Jose's 7-3 win over Abbotsford on Friday.
Huntington has really picked up the pace with four goals and eight assists over his last nine games. That surge has him up to 29 points in 41 appearances for the Barracuda this season. Huntington is filling an AHL veteran role in 2025-26, so he probably won't get any NHL time.

Sharks' Jimmy Huntington: Logs three points for Barracuda
Rotowire
Huntington scored a goal and added two assists in AHL San Jose's 6-3 win over Ontario on Sunday.
Huntington has seven points over his last six outings. The 27-year-old forward is too old for prospect status, but he's put up 16 points over 27 outings in the AHL this year, which could be turning some heads. Huntington would likely see fourth-line usage if he gets called up to the Sharks -- he has yet to make his NHL debut.

Sharks' Jimmy Huntington: Tallies twice in AHL win
Rotowire
Huntington scored two goals in AHL San Jose's 3-2 win over Texas on Friday.
Huntington ended a seven-game goal drought with the tally. The 27-year-old AHL veteran has put up a decent 12 points, 36 shots on net and a plus-2 rating over 23 appearances this season. He's topped 30 points just twice in six AHL campaigns, and it's unlikely he gets his NHL debut as the Sharks will prioritize their youth movement.

Sharks' Jimmy Huntington: Waived by San Jose
Rotowire
Huntington was designated for waivers by the Sharks on Tuesday, James Mirtle of The Athletic reports.
Huntington has never appeared in an NHL game, so he most likely will not be claimed on the waiver wire. The 26-year-old suited up for just four games with AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton last year, supplying one goal, four points and a plus-2 rating.

Sharks' Jimmy Huntington: Off to San Jose
Rotowire
Huntington signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Sharks on Tuesday.
Huntington has yet to make his NHL debut, so this looks to be a depth addition for the Sharks. He was injured for most of 2024-25, drawing into just four regular-season games with AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, in which he earned four points. The Sharks could turn to him as a fourth-line option if he performs well in the minors with AHL San Jose.

Penguins' Jimmy Huntington: Hits waiver wire
Rotowire
Huntington landed on waivers Wednesday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.
Huntington has never made an NHL appearance, having spent his entire professional career in the minors since turning pro back in 2019-20. At this point, the Penguins have multiple forward options that are probably ahead of the 25-year-old undrafted center, so fantasy managers shouldn't be expecting to see him play for Pittsburgh any time soon.

Penguins' Jimmy Huntington: Signs two-way deal
Rotowire
Huntington penned a one-year, two-way contract with Pittsburgh on Monday.
Huntington is a career minor leaguer, having yet to make his NHL debut after spending the last five years in the AHL. Undrafted coming out of the QMJHL, the 25-year-old put up decent numbers with AHL Hershey this past season, generating 16 goals and 17 assists in 67 regular-season outings. At this point, Huntington figures to be little more than an organizational depth piece to help the Baby Pens.

Lightning's Jimmy Huntington: Earns role with Syracuse
Rotowire
Huntington was reassigned to the Syracuse Crunch of the AHL on Monday.
The talent is there, but the road is long for this undrafted scorer out of the QMJHL. Huntington needs to show he can score, but we always worry there's a bit of fool's gold with guys who explode offensively in the overage year. And especially in the Q. Huntington's dream of the NHL is intact, but he will need more seasoning before it ever comes true.
