Chekhovich was waived by the Sharks on Monday for the purpose of terminating his contract, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

Chekhovich played in four games for San Jose last season in which he registered one assist, five shots and two blocks while averaging 10:29 of ice time. The 22-year-old winger is expected to sign in the KHL and could get another shot at an NHL gig if he performs well back in Russia.

Chekhovich was sent down to AHL San Jose on Thursday, per CapFriendly.

EDGE Analysis

Chekhovich posted one assist and five shots on goal through four games with the Sharks. The Russian winger had 34 points in 43 games with Torpedo Nizhny Novgorod of the KHL, but with just six points in 16 AHL contests, he likely needs more time in the minors to work on his game.

Chekhovich recorded an assist and two shots on goal in Friday's 5-2 loss to the Coyotes.

EDGE Analysis

Chekhovich set up Timo Meier for a goal in the second period. The 22-year-old Chekhovich's helper was his first NHL point in his second appearance. A seventh-round pick from 2017, the Russian winger isn't likely to make an impact with the big club for another year or two at best.

Chekhovich was added to the Sharks' active roster for Friday's tilt with Arizona, CapFriendly reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 22-year-old has skated in just one career NHL game and will be in a bottom-line role for Friday's game. Chekhovich scored 17 goals and 34 points in 43 KHL games this season.

Chekhovich was assigned to the taxi squad Saturday, per CapFriendly.

EDGE Analysis

Chekhovich drew into Friday's 3-0 loss to the Avalanche, but he was back on the taxi squad ahead of Saturday's rematch. The Russian winger could be in the mix for bottom-six minutes down the stretch.

Chekhovich will be promoted to San Jose's active roster and make his NHL debut Friday versus Colorado, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.

EDGE Analysis

Chekhovich has been decent in the minors this season, picking up seven points through 17 games. At this point it isn't clear which line the 2017 seventh-round pick will skate on Friday.

Chekhovich was added to San Jose's taxi squad Thursday, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Chekhovich will likely be on hand as an emergency option for Friday's game versus Colorado. The 2017 seventh-round pick has yet to make his NHL debut.

Chekhovich was reassigned to AHL San Jose on Tuesday, per CapFriendly.

EDGE Analysis

Chekhovich spent a day on the taxi squad, but the 22-year-old is expected to receive most of his playing time with the Barracuda.

Chekhovich was recalled from AHL San Jose on Monday, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 22-year-old winger has six points in 16 AHL games and hasn't seen any NHL action. Chekhovich will likely serve as an insurance body with the big club.

Chekhovich will return from Russia and join AHL San Jose this week, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.

EDGE Analysis

Chekhovich spent the last few months playing Nizhny Novogorod (KHL). The 22-year-old put together a strong campaign, producing 17 goals and 17 assists across 43 games. Chekhovich struggled in the AHL last season, but with some polishing overseas, he's hoping that his fortunes will change this time around. Expect the 2017 seventh-round pick to quarantine for a week before joining the AHL squad.
