Sharks' Rourke Chartier: Headed back to minors

Chartier has been flipped between leagues frequently this season and figures to continue doing so the rest of the way. The center hasn't played in an NHL game since Nov. 15; however, an injury to Joonas Donskoi (upper body) could open the door for Chartier to suit up against the Penguins on Tuesday.

Sharks' Rourke Chartier: Promptly returns to big club

Chartier was sent down to the minors Friday to get some game action with AHL San Jose but was quickly recalled since the Sharks have just 12 healthy forwards otherwise. He won't draw into the lineup for Saturday's game versus the Senators.

The 22-year-old will return to the Sharks' minor -league affiliate after being a healthy scratch the past seven games. Chartier has appeared in 13 NHL games this season, recording a goal and posting a minus-5 rating along the way. He's been more productive at the AHL level, tallying a total of nine points in 11 contests.

Sharks' Rourke Chartier: Recalled up from AHL San Jose

Fortunately for Chartier, the Sharks and Barracuda share the SAP Center, so he has only been forced to switch locker rooms during his frequent moves between leagues. The center figures to serve as an emergency depth option against the Oilers on Saturday and is unlikely to get into the lineup.

Sharks' Rourke Chartier: Called up from minors

The move gave the Sharks some extra forward depth ahead of Sunday's matchup with Arizona, but as expected, the center didn't get into the lineup. Chartier figures to see his name on and off San Jose's roster for much of the rest of the season, but shouldn't see too much ice time -- barring injury to another center.
