The Sharks recalled two defensemen from the San Jose Barracuda Thursday, bringing up Jacob Middleton and Nick DeSimone. The two players will get a slightly longer look from the team’s coaching staff, and provide some depth on the blue line for tonight’s contest in Anaheim.
The recently re-signed Middleton played 50 games for the Barracuda last season, scoring nine points (one goal, eight assists) in that time, and improved in the post-season, scoring four assists in 13 games of the AHL squad’s Calder Cup run.
DeSimone jumped to the AHL late last season after finishing 38 games for Union College.
