SAN JOSE — Center Danny O’Regan has only played two games for the Sharks this season and has already seen his responsibilities start to increase.
Perhaps it’s not too surprising considering the Sharks, mired in a nearly season-long offensive quagmire, have been searching for any added difference-maker they can find.
O’Regan, 23, has two assists in two NHL games since his recall from the Barracuda over the weekend. He’s seen some time on the Sharks’ power play, a rarity for a San Jose rookie, and his ice time went from 10:24 in Saturday’s game against Boston to 14:43 against Anaheim on Monday.
