Patrick Giles - NHL News & Rumors

Inks two-way deal Giles signed a two-year, two-way contract extension with the Sharks on Tuesday, according to Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News.

Impact Giles appeared in only three games for the Sharks in 2025-26, picking up an assist and a plus-1 rating. The 26-year-old spent the bulk of the year with AHL San Jose, accounting for 10 goals, 14 helpers and a minus-14 rating across 67 regular-season games. The undrafted winger should not be expected to see much time at the NHL level in 2026-27.

Sent to minors Giles was reassigned to AHL San Jose on Friday.

Impact Giles was called up by the Sharks on Monday, but he didn't appear in any games during his stint with the NHL club. Over 28 appearances with the Barracuda this year, he's logged five goals, four assists, eight PIM and a minus-10 rating.

Called up Monday Giles was recalled from AHL San Jose on Monday.

Impact Giles has spent most of this season in the minors, but he'll rejoin the NHL club after John Klingberg (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Monday. Across three appearances with the Sharks this year, Giles has recorded an assist, three hits and two blocked shots while averaging 8:52 of ice time, and he'll provide additional depth since several of the team's forwards are dealing with injuries.

Scores twice in Barracuda win Giles scored two goals in AHL San Jose's 7-0 win over Abbotsford on Tuesday.

Impact Giles received a three-game stint in the NHL just over a week ago and put up one helper. At the AHL level, he's earned four points and 12 shots on net through eight contests. The 25-year-old isn't really a prospect, but he seems to have a certain something that could help him carve out a role as a bottom-six option in the NHL. He'll likely need to show a little more with the Barracuda to get another look with the big club.

Sent to minors Giles was reassigned to AHL San Jose on Monday.

Impact Giles spent nearly a week with the Sharks, appearing in three games and logging an assist, three hits and two hits while averaging 8:52 of ice time. He should have more consistent opportunities to contribute with the Barracuda.

Pockets first helper Giles notched an assist and two hits in Sunday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Red Wings.

Impact This was Giles' first point in three NHL games this season. He appears to have a chance to make an impact in a bottom-six role while Adam Gaudette (upper body) and Ryan Reaves (lower body) are sidelined. Giles has one goal in 17 games between the Panthers and the Sharks last year, so he has yet to really prove himself as a scorer at the NHL level.

Elevated from minors Giles was recalled from AHL San Jose on Tuesday.

Impact Giles' promotion could signal that Adam Gaudette (upper body) may be set to miss some time, as this move would give the team one extra healthy forward if Gaudette is unable to suit up Tuesday against the Kings. Nick Leddy (upper body) was placed on injured reserve in correspondence with Giles being brought up from the minors. The 25-year-old winger has notched one goal and one helper across four appearances with the Barracuda this season.

Placed on waivers Giles (lower body) was put on waivers by San Jose on Wednesday, according to Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports.

Impact Giles' inclusion on the waiver list indicates that he's no longer dealing with the lower-body injury that limited him during training camp. The 25-year-old had a goal in eight outings with the Sharks in 2024-25. He also had nine goals and 11 points across 47 regular-season appearances between AHL San Jose and AHL Charlotte. Giles is expected to start the upcoming season in the minors if he clears waivers.

Unlikely to play in preseason Giles (lower body) has resumed skating, but he's not expected to fully recover before training camp ends, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports Thursday.

Impact Although it sounds like Giles won't get into a preseason game, head coach Ryan Warsofsky doesn't believe the forward is too far away from being able to play. Provided the 25-year-old Giles is healthy enough to do so, he's likely to start the season in the minors.

Recovering from lower-body surgery Head coach Ryan Warsofsky said Friday that Giles had surgery on a lower-body injury during the offseason and is "a couple weeks away" from returning to the ice, Max Miller of NHL.c...

Impact Giles made 17 regular-season appearances between Florida and San Jose last year and recorded a goal, 21 hits and seven blocked shots while averaging 9:14 of ice time. He'll likely miss at least most of the preseason while recovering from surgery, and he'll presumably head to the AHL once he's cleared to return.

Sent back to minors Giles was returned to AHL San Jose on Monday, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Impact Giles has picked up just one point in his eight games with the Sharks this season while averaging 11:19 of ice time. Given his offensive struggles, the 25-year-old forward could benefit from additional minutes in the minors -- though he hasn't been significantly more productive in the AHL, recording seven points in 39 outings with AHL Charlotte.

Scores first NHL Giles scored a goal on three shots in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Predators.

Impact The goal was the first of Giles' career, as well as his first point. It took him 11 games to achieve the milestone, though his scoring upside is fairly limited. He's added nine shots on net, 19 hits and a minus-1 rating between the Sharks and the Panthers this season. Giles will face competition for bottom-six minutes once Noah Gregor (not injury related) is able to play, but it looks like the Sharks are willing to give the 25-year-old Giles a fair shake in his audition to stay in the NHL.
