• Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman reported the waivers on Sunday, starting the 24-hour claim window that concludes Monday morning.
• If unclaimed, both defensemen will be assigned to the AHL’s San Jose Barracuda, the organization’s affiliate.
• Jack Thompson, 23, is a right-shot defender drafted 93rd overall by Tampa Bay in 2020 and acquired in the Anthony Duclair trade, posting 10 points in 33 NHL games last season for San Jose.
• Lucas Carlsson, 28, signed a two-year deal with the Sharks in 2024 and has been a prolific AHL scorer, including a 20-goal season, though he has yet to secure a steady NHL role.
• Both began the year on injured non-roster with lower-body injuries and return to a roster already carrying eight defensemen, including Dmitry Orlov, Nick Leddy, John Klingberg, Sam Dickinson and Shakir Mukhamadullin.
