• Hajek was recalled from AHL San Jose on Wednesday.

  Hajek was sent down ahead of the 2026-27 regular season, but he'll rejoin the NHL club to provide additional depth after Luca Cagnoni was sent down Wednesday. Hajek hasn't appeared in a regular-season game at the NHL level since the 2022-23 campaign, when he was with the Rangers.

• Hajek was placed on waivers Wednesday for the purpose of reassignment to AHL San Jose.

  Hajek hasn't made a regular-season appearance in the NHL since the 2022-23 campaign. He spent the 2025-26 season with Pardubice in Czechia, recording six goals, seven assists and 44 PIM across 44 regular-season appearances. While he is poised to begin the 2026-27 campaign in the minors, he could be a candidate for a call-up if the Sharks deal with injuries.

  Hajek had six goals, 13 points and 41 PIM in 44 regular-season outings with Pardubice of the Czech League in 2025-26.

• Hajek signed a one-year, minor-league contract with AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Tuesday.

  Hajek had been with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton's NHL affiliate Pittsburgh during training camp but was unable to secure a contract. Instead, the 25-year-old blueliner will spend the year in the minors with the Baby Pens. Unless he signs a two-way contract later in the campaign, Hajek won't be eligible to be recalled to Pittsburgh.

• Hajek signed a professional tryout agreement with the Penguins on Tuesday, per CapFriendly.

  Hajek went unqualified by the Rangers in June, ending his five-year stint with the team. He has never appeared in more than 44 games or earned more than five points in a season. At 25 years old, he may still be able to find his way to a full-time NHL role. Hajek's PTO will allow him to showcase his game during the Penguins' training camp, though it's unclear if he'll earn a full contract from them or any other team.
