Filip Bystedt is headed back to the AHL after his first five NHL games. The Sharks sent the forward to their San Jose Barracuda affiliate on Monday. He did not record a point during the call-up.

Bystedt made his NHL debut against Vancouver on Oct. 29, a day after his recall. In eight AHL appearances this season, he has four goals and four assists.

The Sharks expect centre Alexander Wennberg back from an upper-body injury for Monday’s home game against the New York Islanders. Wennberg recorded three assists in nine games before he was hurt.
