Three solid seasons with Dubuque of the United States Hockey League and 47 points (17 goals, 30 assists) in 41 games as a freshman at the University of Denver were enough to persuade the San Jose Sharks to take Gambrell, a center from Bonney Lake, Washington, in the second round (No. 60) of the 2016 NHL Draft.
After averaging more than a point a game in his next two seasons at Denver, Gambrell signed a two-year contract with the Sharks on March 26, 2018, and made his NHL debut on April 3, 2018.
