That's all very good for Sparks and I hope it translate to him being in the NHL full time. However it's still a different game at the NHL level compared to the AHL.
If it was that easy wouldn't Gauthier be up full time and not with the Marlies?
Definitely different going from AHL to NHL, especially as a full-timer, but it's tough to compare 4C to backup. You'd expect many more games out of Gauthier, though Sparks would be playing full games when in. Sparks is a couple of years older and would have to pass through waivers. Assorted considerations at play here.
