SAN JOSE — Center Alex True was among nine players assigned by the Sharks to the Barracuda on Wednesday.
Other players reassigned were forwards Joachim Blichfeld, Ivan Chekhovich, Sasha Chmelevski, Noah Gregor and defensemen Nick DeSimone, Jeffrey Viel, Nikolai Knyzhov and goalie Andrew Shortridge.
True was the Barracuda’s leading scorer last season with 24 goals and 31 assists in 68 regular season games. It was believed he could challenge for a fourth line center role with the Sharks, but True didn’t have a point in three preseason games.
Tuesday in Anaheim against the Ducks, True, 22, had one shot on goal and one blocked shot in the Sharks’ 4-1 loss.
