He would count as one of our veterans. He put up 57 points in 59 games with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton and Rockford last season.

Any idea why he hasn't played at all this season? Injury?

Is this the style nowadays? It looks like an ill-fitting suit; a child putting on last-years dress.
I don't actually know of any reason, it just seems like nobody signed him until now. His social media just shows him working with his brother in Minnesota on some hockey training stuff.
Also funny that he's wound up here considering he was part of the Erik Karlsson trade.

Weird. He's good enough that I feel like he should have been worthy of an AHL contract even counting as an AHL veteran. Maybe he just needed some time off hockey?
Is this an indication that the Sharks are planning on keeping Poturalski up longer?
Well keep in mind that prior to the Sharks calling up Poturalski, they took Colin White from us, so we already had a need at forward. Specifically I feel like we could use someone at 2C. I would love to move Bystedt to 3C and make that more of a defensive line. I think Poturalski comes back down once the Four Nations break starts.
I'm not sure if Pitlick will be a center for us though, seems like he played at wing for Rockford.

So you anticipate White having an extended stay with the Sharks? I dunno, something just isn't adding up.
Maybe neither of them does. But I think it makes more sense to have White stay up than Poturalski. White's fast, does well on the PK, he can fill a role while playing in the bottom six. Whereas Poturalski is a scorer who doesn't score in the NHL.
Poturalski's callup struck me as a pat on the back for his AHL play rather than wanting to give him an actual NHL look. Sharks have injuries, they're about to go on an extended NHL break, it's perfect timing. The Cuda are not on break during Four Nations, so I am guessing he's back in the AHL after this weekend.
(At least, I'm hoping he's back ASAP)

Tonight's Barracuda game is on NBC Sports California @ 7:30, for anyone interested. Anyone tuning in that's unfamiliar, though, I might as well give a disclaimer: It's our first game against Tucson. Let me tell you a little background here, because I can't imagine this weekend is going to go down without incident.
We played Tucson 8 times last season. By my count, those games resulted in 413 penalty minutes. In fact, we played them for the last two games of last season and those two games alone resulted in 233 of those PIMs.
Scott Sabourin was also suspended for what happened in our last game against them, deservedly so, after his attack on Montana Onyebuchi in the last game that I'd describe as "unhinged." Onyebuchi's still there on the Roadrunners, I would guess he remembers that.
I mean, you go back further: Tucson was who we had that line brawl against in the 22-23 season, Hrabik did that racist taunt towards Boko Imama in a game against the Roadrunners, Imama himself got suspended four games for boarding Artemi Kniazev in one of these games. I could go on.
Basically: Tucson games always have the potential to get nuts. They've still plenty of irritants: Onyebuchi, Hunter Drew, 6'9" Curtis Douglas, Ben McCartney (who is such an effective pest in our games I'm surprised he hasn't had more NHL time). Fun times ahead.
