As the Sharks await Joe Thornton’s return from injured reserve, they recalled Gambrell from the Barracuda Monday to serve as an emergency forward on team’s three-game road trip to Nashville, Carolina and Anaheim.
With three goals and five points in three games, Gambrell’s AHL performance is sparking calls for his immediate insertion into the Sharks lineup. Barring injury, though, he isn’t likely to see game action on this trip.
