Three helpers in OT win Wennberg notched three assists in Saturday's 6-5 overtime win over the Penguins.

Impact The veteran center delivered his second straight three-point performance, and he's got three multi-point efforts in the last four contests. The sudden surge in production broke Wennberg out of a sluggish stretch since the beginning of November in which he had zero games with two or more points, a spell in which he eked out just two goals and six points in 18 appearances. On the season, Wennberg has managed seven goals and 21 points in 33 games.

Pair of points Sunday Wennberg scored a power-play goal, tallied an assist and blocked three shots in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Hurricanes.

Impact Wennberg lit the lamp on a power play near the 15-minute mark in the second period before he later assisted Macklin Celebrini's empty-net goal. After his pair of points Sunday, Wennberg is up to six goals, nine assists, 32 shots on goal and 36 blocks through 30 games this season. The 31-year-old center has stepped up in his role on the second line in the absence of Michael Misa (lower-body) and Logan Couture (groin). Wennberg sees the necessary ice time to succeed in fantasy formats, but will need to generate more offensive consistency with San Jose's top six to be a solid fantasy option long term.

Wennberg could be replaced in Wednesday's lineup by Zack Ostapchuk if Jeff Skinner (lower body) and Michael Misa (lower body) remain unavailable.

Gets lone goal against former team Wennberg scored a power-play goal in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Kraken.

Impact Wennberg was able to score against one of his former teams, tying the game at 1-1 late in the first period. Matt Murray (lower body) was injured on the play, but Philipp Grubauer kept the Sharks off the board the rest of the way. Wennberg has emerged as a steady veteran in a top-six role this season, collecting five goals and 11 points over 19 appearances. He's added 20 shots on net, 24 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating. With eight of his points coming in the last 10 games, Wennberg is worth a look in fantasy until the offense dries up.

Fills empty cage Wennberg scored an empty-net goal on two shots and added two PIM in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Panthers.

Impact Wennberg continues to play well in a second-line role. He has three goals and four assists over his last seven outings, giving him a total of 10 points through 16 contests this season. The 31-year-old is also seeing steady power-play usage in addition to his usual defensive duties as the Sharks' most established defensive center. Wennberg has also produced 16 shots on net, 20 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating. He could help in deeper fantasy formats that count blocks, though he's far from the best center available in most leagues.

Two points in 800th career game Wennberg scored a goal, added an assist, blocked two shots and went plus-2 in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Devils.

Impact This was Wennberg's second multi-point effort in a row. He set up a Philipp Kurashev goal before scoring one of his own as part of the Sharks' three-goal first period. Wennberg was skating in his 800th career game Thursday. The two-way center has three goals, four helpers, 12 shots on net, 11 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating through 11 appearances in a strong first month of the campaign. As a veteran on a young Sharks team, he should continue to see plenty of ice time.

Two-point effort in loss Wennberg scored a goal on two shots, added an assist and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Kings.

Impact Wennberg ended a five-game slump with his first multi-point effort of the season. He set up Philipp Kurashev's second-period goal, and Kurashev returned the favor in the third. Wennberg has continued to fill a top-six role this season, as the Sharks have opted to not throw Michael Misa straight into the deep end. Wennberg has five points, 11 shots on net, nine blocked shots and a minus-6 rating across 10 appearances. He offers some fantasy value in deeper formats, especially those that count blocks, but he'll be an anchor on plus-minus rating without enough offensive upside to make up for it.

Scores on power play Wennberg scored a power-play goal on two shots in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Golden Knights.

Impact Wennberg put the Sharks ahead 2-1 with his goal in the second period. He's more of a pass-first player on offense -- the center has not exceeded 13 goals in any of the last four campaigns. Moreover, he's primarily valued for his two-way play, and with the Sharks, his experience is worth more than his scoring. The 31-year-old will likely fill a second-line role as long as Will Smith stays on the wing, though Michael Misa could get a look down the middle at some point this season after making the team out of camp.
