The Sharks have placed Tarasov (unspecified injury) on IR. With Tarasov -- who has one assist in two games with the Sharks -- having been placed on injured reserve, the team activated Tommy Wingels in a corresponding move.

The Sharks recalled Tarasov from Worcester on Thursday. Tarasov leads AHL Worcester in points this season with 25. The recall is likely connected to Tyler Kennedy's injury that cropped up before Wednesday's practice.

In two games over the weekend Tarasov scored two goals and two assists. Tarasov was also a plus-3 with six shots over the weekend. Tarasov is an exciting prospect for the Sharks, though may not be at the top of the list for a call-up. He has eight goals and 12 assists through 34 games this season.

The Sharks have reassigned Tarasov to AHL Worcester. Tarasov took a large step forward last year, scoring 17 goals and 14 assists through 47 games. He was a darkhorse to make the team, but may get his first look at the NHL this season if he can keep performing like he has.
