Cardwell scored two goals in AHL San Jose's 4-3 overtime win over Bakersfield on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Cardwell had potted just one goal over his last six games. He opened and closed the scoring Saturday, raising his season totals to six goals and 12 points through 20 outings. The 23-year-old forward will need to display more consistency before he can be a regular threat for NHL minutes.

Cardwell was recalled from AHL San Jose on Monday, per the NHL media site.
EDGE Analysis
In other Monday roster moves, the Sharks placed Will Smith (undisclosed) and Philipp Kurashev (upper body) on injured reserve. As a result, Cardwell will probably be in the lineup for Tuesday's game against Calgary. He has one goal, three shots on net and four hits in four NHL appearances this season.

Cardwell was reassigned to AHL San Jose on Tuesday, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cardwell's demotion comes as a slight surprise, as it leaves the team with no extra forwards on the 23-man roster but nine defensemen. A roster spot was needed to activate William Eklund (lower body) off injured reserve, and it seems the team didn't want to send any of its three space blueliners to the minors. For his part, Cardwell has notched one goal, three shots and four hits in four outings while averaging 12:21 of ice time.

Cardwell scored a goal, added two PIM and logged two hits in Wednesday's 6-1 win over the Kraken.
EDGE Analysis
Cardwell's goal late in the first period stood as the game-winner. The 23-year-old forward has played the last two games as the Sharks have been short at forward due to the absences of William Eklund (lower body), Michael Misa (lower body) and Ryan Reaves (lower body). Cardwell may not stick with the big club once everyone's healthy, but he could make that a tougher decision if he can chip in semi-regular offense.

Cardwell has been brought up to the NHL by the Sharks from AHL San Jose, the team announced Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
With Ryan Reaves headed to injured reserve, Cardwell has been called up in a corresponding move. The 23-year-old has had a solid start to the season with AHL San Jose, registering four points (two goals, two assists) in seven games so far. He'll likely serve as just the 13th forward for now.

Cardwell was reassigned to AHL San Jose on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Cardwell has one goal, five shots on net and eight hits over six appearances at the NHL level this season. The forward could get additional looks with the Sharks, but the team's trade to acquire Nikolai Kovalenko reduced the need for Cardwell to be around for fourth-line minutes.

Cardwell scored a goal in Friday's 8-5 win over the Kraken.
EDGE Analysis
Cardwell got his first NHL goal after being held without a point over his first three appearances this season. He's added four shots on net, five hits and a minus-1 rating. While he's with the big club, expect Cardwell to push Carl Grundstrom, Givani Smith, Klim Kostin and Ty Dellandrea for bottom-six minutes.

Cardwell was recalled from AHL San Jose on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
The Sharks were down a forward as they placed Barclay Goodrow (upper body) on injured reserve. Cardwell played three games at the NHL level earlier in the season, but was unable to garner a point. Cardwell had a goal and seven points in 13 AHL appearances before his recall.

Cardwell was loaned to AHL San Jose on Tuesday, per Max Miller of NHL.com.
EDGE Analysis
Cardwell didn't earn a point in three outings with the Sharks while contributing three shots on goal, one blocked shot and five hits. Macklin Celebrini (hip) and Ty Dellandrea (hand) will return to the lineup against Columbus on Tuesday, so Cardwell and Danil Gushchin will return to the minors. The 22-year-old Cardwell has one goal and four assists in six AHL appearances this season.
