Sharks' Shakir Mukhamadullin: Assigned to AHL

Mukhamadullin was assigned to AHL San Jose on Monday.

Mukhamadullin spent the past month with the Sharks and saw consistent playing time in December, but he was a healthy scratch in three of the team's first five games in January. The 23-year-old should have more opportunities to develop in the AHL but could rejoin the Sharks at some point if they need additional help on the blue line.
