SAN JOSE, Calif., Jan. 19 (UPI) -- Aging forward Claude Lemieux was called up by the San Jose Sharks Monday, ending his six-season absence from the National Hockey League.

The Sharks placed defenseman Brad Lukowich on injured reserve and reassigned forwards Brad Staubitz and Tom Cavanagh to its minor league club in Worcester.

Lemieux, 43, scored three goals and had eight assists in 23 games with Worcester as he tuned up for a possible NHL return.
