The San Jose Sharks have secured forward Ty Dellandrea with a two-year contract extension worth $3.25 million, ensuring he remains with the team through the 2027-28 season. The announcement came on Friday, locking in a player who has shown promise despite facing challenges this season.
At just 25 years old, Dellandrea was previously in the final year of his contract. In the current season, he has contributed two goals and nine assists over 42 games. Unfortunately, his performance has been hampered since suffering a lower-body injury on January 6. Prior to his injury, Dellandrea led Sharks forwards by winning 52.3% of his faceoffs and was notable for his physical play, ranking second on the team with 117 hits and 36 blocked shots. Additionally, he logged significant time on the ice while short-handed, showcasing his all-around game.
Dellandrea joined the Sharks before the start of last season after spending his first four NHL seasons with the Dallas Stars. Over his career, he has accumulated 17 goals and 44 assists in 261 games, demonstrating his potential to contribute further to San Jose’s offense.
In related news, the Sharks have called up goalie Laurent Brossoit from the AHL. This move comes as Yaroslav Askarov is sidelined with what has been described as a minor lower-body injury. Brossoit, who has made 118 career NHL starts, has not played in the league since the 2023-24 season and was acquired from Chicago in January.
