Sharks Resign Plihal, Semenov to 1-Year Contracts

The San Jose Sharks announced on Wednesday that they have resigned left wing Tomas Plihal and defenseman Alexei Semenov to one-year contracts. Both players had been in the Sharks' training camp on tryouts. Last season, Plihal played in 22 games, scoring two goals and adding one assist for three points with the Sharks, while Semenov, who suffered numerous injuries, also played in 22 games with the Sharks last season, scoring one goal and adding three assists for four points and 36 penalty minutes. Plihal will likely play on the Sharks' 4th line, where he will provide decent offensive depth. Semenov brings the Sharks' defense lots of toughness and plenty of veteran depth.
