The Sharks have activated forward Adam Gaudette off injured reserve, relays Curtis Pashelka of the Mercury News ( Twitter link ). The 29-year-old has missed a little more than a week due to an upper-body injury. Signed to a two-year, $4MM contract this past summer, Gaudette has been reasonably productive in limited playing time, picking up three goals and an assist in nine games despite playing less than 11 minutes a night. That usage is similar to last season when he averaged just 10:25 per game but still managed to notch 19 goals in 81 games with Ottawa. With Patrick Giles being sent back down on Monday, they had the open roster spot available to activate Gaudette so no further moves were needed.
