San Jose traded Melnichuk to the Lightning in exchange for Antoine Morand on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Melnichuk will report to AHL Syracuse and shouldn't see any NHL time in the near future. The 23-year-old is sporting an .867 save percentage and a 3.92 GAA through 31 AHL appearances this season.

Melnichuk was promoted to the taxi squad Thursday, per CapFriendly.

EDGE Analysis

Melnichuk remains on hand as the Sharks' No. 3 goalie, though he won't suit up unless something happens to Adin Hill or Zach Sawchenko. The 23-year-old Melnichuk has not drawn into an NHL game this season.

The Sharks reassigned Melnichuk to AHL San Jose on Wednesday, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Melnichuk has bounced between rosters since the beginning of December but has yet to appear in an NHL game this season. It would take an injury or COVID-19 designation on the Sharks' goalie depth chart for Melnichuk to possibly get an opportunity.

Melnichuk was placed on the taxi squad Tuesday, per CapFriendly.

EDGE Analysis

Melnichuk will serve as the Sharks' No. 3 option in goal behind Adin Hill and Zach Sawchenko while James Reimer (lower body) is on injured reserve. Melnichuk is unlikely to see much playing time at the NHL level.

Melnichuk was sent down to AHL San Jose on Monday, per CBSSports.com.

EDGE Analysis

Melnichuk's demotion comes as Adin Hill was cleared to return to action and retook his place as the No. 2 option behind James Reimer. With Melnichuk the presumptive fourth-string option between the pipes for the Sharks, he shouldn't be expected to see much, if any, game action at the NHL level this year.

Melnichuk was placed on the taxi squad Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Melnichuk has yet to make an appearance in the NHL this season. With AHL San Jose this season, the 23-year-old has posted a 6-6-1 record with a 3.48 GAA and a .874 save percentage through his 17 performances.

Melnichuk was reassigned to AHL San Jose on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Melnichuk was called up to serve as backup to Adin Hill in Tuesday's game against the Flames, but he didn't play. With James Reimer ready to rock, Melnichuk returns to the minors, where he's expected to play for much of the season.

Melnichuk was recalled from AHL San Jose on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Melnichuk coudl serve as the No. 2 behind Adin Hill against the Flames on Tuesday if James Reimer (illness) is ruled out. In the minors, the 23-year-old Melnichuk has posted a disappointing 2-5-1 record and .857 save percentage in 10 games with the Barracuda.

Melnichuk was promoted from AHL San Jose on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

With Adin Hill dealing with a wrist injury, the Sharks brought Melnichuk back up from the minors. The 23-year-old netminder may be tasked with serving as the No. 2 behind James Reimers if Hill is sidelined for any length of time but will otherwise play in the minors with the Barracuda.

Melnichuk will start Sunday's split-squad preseason game in Anaheim, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Sharks are playing a pair of split-squad exhibition contests Sunday, with the other happening in Vegas. Adin Hill will start against the Golden Knights, and both netminders could play the entire game.
