Tallies twice Thursday Graf scored two goals, including one on the power play, in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Blackhawks.

Impact Graf has three goals over his last two games and a total of five points over his last five outings. The 22-year-old's quickly gaining trust from head coach Ryan Warsofsky -- Graf saw a career-high 20:13 of ice time Thursday. He's on the second line and second power-play unit. A number of young players are getting a chance to prove themselves down the stretch, but Graf has arguably seized the opportunity more than anyone else. He's at four goals, nine points (three on the power play), 25 shots on net and a minus-4 rating through 23 appearances this season.

Back in NHL Graf was called up by San Jose on Friday, per Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News.

Impact Graf was in the minors for less than a day, but that's enough to keep him eligible for service with AHL San Jose for the remainder of the season. The 22-year-old has a goal, six points, 13 hits and 11 blocks in 20 appearances with the Sharks in 2024-25.

Assigned to AHL Graf was reassigned to AHL San Jose on Friday, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Impact Graf spent the past two weeks with the Sharks, and he logged three assists, four PIM, three blocked shots and two hits while averaging 14:31 of ice time over seven appearances in that span. Graf's demotion leaves the Sharks shorthanded on their forward lines, so it wouldn't be surprising to see him called back up ahead of Saturday's game against the Islanders.

Lends power-play assist Graf notched a power-play assist and two blocked shots in Thursday's 7-3 loss to the Avalanche.

Impact Graf set up a Fabian Zetterlund tally at 10:08 of the first period. This was Graf's third helper over the last five games -- he's had no trouble settling in as a middle-six forward during this stint on the NHL roster, and he's seeing time on the second power-play unit. For the season, the 22-year-old winger has six points, 21 shots on net, 13 hits, 11 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating through 20 appearances.

Snags helper in win Graf posted an assist in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Sabres.

Impact Graf has two helpers over six contests since he was recalled from AHL San Jose coming out of the 4 Nations Face-Off break. The 22-year-old is holding down a steady bottom-six role with power-play time. He's at five points, 20 shots on net, 13 hits and a minus-5 rating across 19 NHL appearances this season, but it appears the Sharks are willing to let him learn on the job at this stage of his development.

Called up Tuesday Graf was recalled from AHL San Jose on Tuesday.

Impact Graf has scored just one goal in 13 NHL games this year while adding two assists, 11 hits and 11 shots. With his promotion, the 22-year-old winger should be in the mix for a middle-six spot heading into Sunday's clash with Calgary, though he is far from a lock to play.

FEBRUARY 18 • ROTOWIRE

Loaned to AHL affiliate Graf was reassigned to AHL San Jose on Sunday.

Impact Graf has one goal, two assists, 11 shots on net, eight blocked shots and 11 hits in 13 NHL outings this season. The 22-year-old forward has eight goals and 22 assists through 33 AHL appearances in the 2024-25 campaign.

Scores first NHL goal Graf scored a goal on five shots in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Canadiens.

Impact Graf returned from a stint with AHL San Jose and slotted into a middle-six role. He logged 17:37 of ice time and came away with his first career NHL goal in this contest after tying the game at 2-2 in the second period. The 22-year-old is up to three points, nine shots on net, 11 hits and a minus-4 rating across 11 appearances with the Sharks. Graf should be able to stick around while the Sharks are dealing with multiple injuries to forwards, though it wouldn't be surprising to see him reassigned to the farm team during the 4 Nations Face-Off break.

FEBRUARY 5 • ROTOWIRE

Promoted from minors Graf was called up from AHL San Jose on Monday.

Impact Graf hasn't appeared in an NHL game for the Sharks since Jan. 21 versus the Predators but could be pressed into service versus the Habs given all the injuries among the Sharks' forwards. In his limited 10 games for San Jose, the 22-year-old winger has yet to find the back of the net while generating two assists, four shots and 10 hits while averaging 14:17 of ice time.

Sent to AHL Graf was loaned to AHL San Jose on Friday.

Helpers in consecutive contests Graf posted a power-play assist, two shots on goal and two blocked shots in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Golden Knights.

Impact Graf has a helper in each of the last two games, and his assist Tuesday was his first power-play point of the campaign. The 22-year-old winger has immediately stepped into a middle-six role for the Sharks, averaging 13:57 of ice time over three contests. Given the team situation, fantasy managers in redraft formats will want to wait and see if Graf can sustain his hot start to his time in the NHL -- he had 26 points over 29 outings with AHL San Jose, so the scoring touch is evident.

Manages assist in win Graf logged an assist in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Devils.

Impact Graf remains on the NHL roster even with William Eklund back from an upper-body injury. This was Graf's second appearance with the big club this season, and he's filled a middle-six role. He has three assists over nine career games, though at 22 years old, he could still find room to grow on offense if he remains in a substantial enough role.

JANUARY 5 • ROTOWIRE

Called up by NHL club Graf was recalled by the Sharks on Tuesday.

Impact Graf was sent to the AHL ahead of the regular season, and he's recorded six goals and 20 assists over 29 appearances with the Barracuda to begin the year. The 22-year-old has appeared in just seven NHL games but will provide depth for the Sharks after William Eklund (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday.

DECEMBER 31, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Sent down Monday Graf was assigned to AHL San Jose on Monday.

Impact Graf got his first taste of NHL action last season, recording two points and seven blocked shots over seven regular-season appearances. He didn't earn a spot on the Sharks' Opening Night roster ahead of the 2024-25 campaign and will likely spend most of this season in the AHL.

Impact Graf signed a three-year, entry-level contract with San Jose on Thursday after scoring 22 goals and 49 points in 34 NCAA contests with Quinnipiac University. The 21-year-old wasn't drafted, but his development at the college level makes him an exciting prospect for the Sharks. Graf is projected to serve on the second line alongside Luke Kunin and William Eklund versus the Blues.
