SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) – The San Jose Sharks re-signed right wing Niko Dimitrakos, backup goalie Vesa Toskala, enforcer Scott Parker and center Matt Carkner on Tuesday.

Dimitrakos had nine goals and 15 assists in his first full NHL season, spending part of his time on the Sharks’ top line. He also had one goal and a team-high eight assists in the playoffs.

Toskala, a restricted free agent, won 12 games for the Sharks last season with a 2.06 goals-against average. He teamed with starter Evgeni Nabokov to set the franchise record with 11 shutouts.

Parker had four points and 101 penalty minutes in his first season with San Jose.

Carkner was a top defenseman for the Sharks’ AHL affiliate in Cleveland last season, scoring 13 points with a team-high plus-13 rating.

Toskala and Parker filed for arbitration last month, but reached deals with the team before the hearings. The Sharks also re-signed defenseman Scott Hannan last week before his arbitration hearing.

San Jose’s arbitration hearing with forward Nils Ekman concluded Monday, and a decision will be reached this week. Ekman was the Sharks’ second-leading scorer last season with 55 points, but he slumped in the playoffs.
