Struggles in first start Chrona allowed four goals on 12 shots in Thursday's 5-0 loss to the Oilers.

Impact Chrona was less than magnificent, but he drew a tough assignment for his first NHL start. He's allowed eight goals on 29 shots over two appearances this season, and it's clear he's not NHL ready, especially behind a poor team. He'll likely head back to AHL San Jose once Mackenzie Blackwood (illness) is cleared to return.

Gets first NHL start Thursday Chrona will be between the home pipes versus Edmonton on Thursday, Max Miller of The Hockey News reports.

Impact Chrona will make his first career NHL start as Kaapo Kahkonen started Wednesday and Mackenzie Blackwood is out of action with an illness. Chrona gave up four goals on 17 shots in relief of Blackwood versus Pittsburgh on Nov. 4. He has spent most of the season in the AHL, where he was 3-6-2 with a 3.35 GAA and .900 save percentage. Chrona will not have an easy matchup versus Connor McDavid and the Oilers, who are seventh in NHL scoring, averaging 3.43 goals per game.

Makes debut in relief Chrona stopped 13 of 17 shots in relief of Mackenzie Blackwood in Saturday's 10-2 loss to the Penguins.

Impact No goalie seems to have what it takes to solve the defensive problems the Sharks have. Chrona held his own decently well in the second half of the contest. He's up with the Sharks while Kaapo Kahkonen (upper body) is hurt, but the team would be better off limiting his playing time so as not to crush his confidence. The Sharks are back in action at home Tuesday versus the Flyers.

Earns promotion Chrona was recalled from AHL San Jose on Friday.
