The 18-year-old winger entered the draft as Central Scouting's ninth-ranked international skater and slotted fifth among forwards. Chernyshov is listed at 6-foot-3, 204 pounds.
The Sharks had two first-round picks Friday, choosing Macklin Celebrini first overall and Sam Dickinson at 11th. San Jose has six additional selections to make over the weekend after taking Chernyshov.
