This will be Dzingel's second stint with the Hurricanes after playing for them in 2019-20 and part of the 2020-21 campaign. As for his work last season, he had five goals and eight points in 32 contests with San Jose and Arizona. He can earn $750,000 in the NHL or $150,000 at the AHL level next season. Regardless of what combination of playing time he gets, he's been guaranteed a minimum salary of $200,000. "We are obviously familiar with Ryan from his previous time in Carolina," said Hurricanes GM Don Waddell. "He is a skilled player who can provide an offensive boost to our forward group, and we are excited to have him back in the organization."

The Sharks can now send Dzingel to the minors. He has five goals and eight points in 32 games with Arizona and San Jose this season.

Dzingel has played in six games with the Sharks since he was claimed off waivers from Toronto on Feb. 21. He has one goal, nine shots, three blocks and five hits during that span. 

Dzingel will sit out of this interstate matchup against the Ducks. Joining him in the press box is Jasper Weatherby. Meanwhile, Jeffrey Viel and Jonah Gadjovich will slide into the active lineup.
