SHARKS ASSIGN HALTTUNEN TO KNIGHTS

The San Jose Sharks announced today that forward Kasper Halttunen has been assigned to the London Knights for the 2024-25 season.

Halttunen, a second round selection of the Sharks in 2023, spent the start of the season with the AHL’s San Jose Barracuda recording four points in six games.

Last season, Halttunen scored 32 goals in 57 games with the Knights before breaking an OHL record for the most goals by an import player in a single playoff run with 17 goals and 26 points in just 18 games.

The move now fills both the Knights import spot, joining fellow countryman Jesse Nurmi.

Halttunen is projected to be in the lineup when the Knights visit Guelph on Saturday, November 16th.
