Sharks Activate Parker From IR; Recall Schaefer
Thursday, Mar. 9th, 2006
SAN JOSE – San Jose Sharks Executive Vice President and General Manager Doug Wilson announced today that the club has activated Scott Parker from Injured Reserve and recalled goaltender Nolan Schaefer from the Cleveland Barons, the Sharks top development affiliate in the American Hockey League.
Parker has missed the last 26-games on his latest Injured List stint. He has missed 56 games this season in total, all related to a head injury suffered in training camp. He has appeared in three games this season, totaling one goal and six penalty minutes.
The six-foot-five, 225-pound right wing from Hanford, California was acquired by San Jose from Colorado for a 5th round selection in the 2003 NHL Entry Draft.
This will mark Schaefer’s third recall to San Jose this season. In seven NHL games this season, he has posted a 5-1-0 record with a 1.88 goals against average and a .920 save percentage. He was victorious in his first five appearances, becoming the first Shark to begin his career with five consecutive wins. Schaefer also posted his first career shutout in a 1-0 overtime win against Anaheim on Nov. 4.
With the Barons this season, Schaefer owns an 12-17-1 record with a 3.37 goals against average and .887 save percentage. By defeating San Antonio on December 27 and December 29, he became the first goaltender in the franchise’s history to record back-to-back shutouts.
The six-foot-two, 200-pound goaltender from Yellow Grass, Saskatchewan was originally selected by San Jose in the fifth round (166th overall) in the 2000 NHL Entry Draft.
