Sharks' Kevin Labanc: Shipped back to AHL

Labanc was sent down to the minors Saturday.

Analysis:

While he was blanked entirely in 11:13 of ice time against the Canadiens on Saturday, Labanc otherwise showed well in a bottom-six role for Team Teal, registering a goal and two helpers with a plus-2 rating in the past six games. The 20-year-old has come a long way since hearing his name called with the 171st selection (sixth round) of the 2014 NHL Entry Draft.
