Cardwell logged three assists in AHL San Jose's 5-4 overtime win over San Diego on Sunday.
Cardwell cleared waivers prior to the start of the NHL campaign, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him get a call-up. He had 15 points over 24 regular-season games with the Barracuda last year, though he had topped the 40-point mark in his first two years in the AHL.

Cardwell has been put on waivers by San Jose on Wednesday.
Cardwell had seven goals, 15 points and 17 PIM in 24 regular-season appearances with AHL San Jose in 2025-26. He also had a goal in seven regular-season appearances with the Sharks last campaign. Cardwell is expected to start the upcoming campaign in the minors, but he will likely get some work in the NHL in 2026-27.

Cardwell signed a one-year, two-way contract with San Jose on Thursday.
Cardwell saw action in just seven regular-season games for the Sharks last season in which he tallied one goal, six shots and nine hits while averaging 11:56 of ice time. The 23-year-old winger was slightly more productive in the minors, generating seven goals and eight assists in 24 regular-season games with the Barracuda. Still, the 2021 fourth-round pick figures to remain a fringe roster player for San Jose heading into the 2026-27 campaign.

Cardwell scored two goals in AHL San Jose's 4-3 overtime win over Bakersfield on Saturday.
Cardwell had potted just one goal over his last six games. He opened and closed the scoring Saturday, raising his season totals to six goals and 12 points through 20 outings. The 23-year-old forward will need to display more consistency before he can be a regular threat for NHL minutes.

Cardwell was assigned to AHL San Jose on Tuesday.
Cardwell has one goal, six shots on net and nine hits across seven NHL appearances this season. He also has six assists and nine points in 14 AHL outings during the 2025-26 campaign.

Cardwell was recalled from AHL San Jose on Monday, per the NHL media site.
In other Monday roster moves, the Sharks placed Will Smith (undisclosed) and Philipp Kurashev (upper body) on injured reserve. As a result, Cardwell will probably be in the lineup for Tuesday's game against Calgary. He has one goal, three shots on net and four hits in four NHL appearances this season.
