SAN JOSE — The Sharks signed two more of their restricted free-agent forwards Thursday, giving Dylan Gambrell a two-year contract extension and Antti Suomela a one-year deal.
Gambrell, San Jose’s second round draft pick in 2016, played just eight games with the Sharks this past season. He became just the second Sharks player ever to score his first NHL goal in the playoffs when he scored in Game 6 of the Western Conference Final against the St. Louis Blues. Marcel Goc — in 2004 — was the first Shark to tally his first goal in the postseason.
Suomela, signed in 2018 as a free agent out of Finland, made the Sharks’ roster out of training camp last October and had three goals and five assists in 27 NHL games before he was reassigned to the Barracuda.
