Bergmann will have his contract terminated after being placed on waivers by the Sharks on Friday, Sportsnet's Chris Johnston reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bergmann appeared in just one match for San Jose this year in which he tallied four PIM, one shot and three hits in 10:19 of ice time. At just 22 years of age, it's not impossible the Germany center can make his way back to the NHL in the future but he'll need to put together another season or two like his 2018-19 campaign with the Iserlohn Roosters (DEL) in which he tallied 20 goals in 50 contests.

Bergmann was reassigned to AHL San Jose on Thursday, per CapFriendly.
EDGE Analysis
Bergmann drew into the Sharks' season finale Wednesday, but he was held off the scoresheet like all of his teammates. The 22-year-old German is likely a year or two away from making an impact with the big club.

The Sharks recalled Bergmann from their AHL affiliate Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Bergmann was just sent down so he could suit up for AHL San Jose against Ontario on Wednesday, but he'll be on hand as an insurance policy for Thursday's clash with the Devils. The 21-year-old winger has notched one helper in eight appearances with the big club this season.

The Sharks reassigned Bergmann to AHL San Jose on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Bergmann was called up to the big club Tuesday for the first time since December, but the 21-year-old didn't draw into the lineup. The German winger will head back to bus league to log more consistent playing time. Bergmann has recorded 17 points (eight goals, nine assists) over 31 AHL games.

The Sharks recalled Bergmann from AHL San Jose on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Bergmann will give the parent club an extra healthy body at forward while Tomas Hertl (knee) and Logan Couture (ankle) are on injured reserve and Melker Karlsson (lower body) is day-to-day heading into Tuesday's game in Philadelphia. Over his previous eight appearances with the NHL club this season, Bergmann has been limited to a checking line role, averaging just 8:27 of ice time.

The Sharks reassigned Bergmann to AHL San Jose on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Bergmann has been with the big club for the last five games, but he watched each one from the press box. The 21-year-old has accrued 11 points over 15 AHL games this year, and it's important for him to continue his development with consistent minutes in the minors.

San Jose recalled Bergmann from its AHL affiliate Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Bergmann's promotion suggests the Sharks are unsure if Tomas Hertl (undisclosed) will be available for Thursday's matchup with the Hurricanes. The 21-year-old forward will likely return to the minors as soon as Hertl is deemed fit to play.

Bergmann was sent down to AHL San Jose on Saturday, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Over eight games at the NHL level this season, Bergmann managed an assist but was a minus-5. He's been far more effective at the AHL level in 2019-20, with the 21-year-old collecting eight points in six games with AHL San Jose this season.

Bergmann was promoted from AHL San Jose on Monday, Kevin Kurz of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bergmann saw action in six games for the Sharks to start the 2019-20 season, in which he tallied one assist, eight shots and seven hits, before being sent down to the minors. If the German suits up versus Chicago on Tuesday, it figures to be in a bottom-six role, barring any additional injury news.
