Reading Is Cool - Henry Thrun | San Jose Sharks Henry Thrun, shares why he loves reading and gives a reading challenge for December!
Sets up game-winner Thrun notched an assist and went plus-2 in Monday's 7-2 win over the Kings.
Impact Thrun returned to the lineup, replacing Jack Thompson, who was reassigned to AHL San Jose on Monday. The 23-year-old Thrun made a valuable impact, setting up Macklin Celebrini's goal at 1:03 of the third period, which was the game-winner. Thrun has seven assists, 15 shots on net, 31 blocked shots, 16 hits, 15 PIM and a minus-5 rating over 21 appearances this season. His playing time is temporarily safe -- after Thompson's demotion, the Sharks are carrying only six blueliners, though Marc-Edouard Vlasic (back) is reportedly close to being ready for his season debut, which could bump Thrun from the lineup once again.
NOVEMBER 26 • ROTOWIRE
Logs helper in win Thrun posted an assist and four blocked shots in Sunday's 1-0 win over the Devils.
Impact Thrun has three helpers over his last two games. He's been rewarded for his strong effort -- the 23-year-old was moved up to the top pairing and saw a season-high 22:48 of ice time in Sunday's win. The blueliner has four helpers, 11 shots on net, 11 PIM, 12 hits, 25 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating through 15 contests. He could continue to see a larger role until Jake Walman (upper body) returns.
NOVEMBER 11 • ROTOWIRE
Produces pair of assists in loss Thrun notched two assists, two hits and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Wild.
Impact Thrun is up to three helpers through 14 contests this season. He's added 10 shots on net, 11 PIM, 12 hits, 21 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating while filling a bottom-four role. Thrun has been scratched once, but he should be in the lineup at least as long as Jake Walman (upper body) is contending with an injury. Thrun's lack of power-play time is likely to limit his fantasy value to the deepest of formats.
NOVEMBER 8 • ROTOWIRE
Manages helper Thrun posted an assist, two hits and two blocked shots in Monday's 5-4 overtime win over Utah.
Impact The helper was Thrun's first point in 10 games this season. The 23-year-old defenseman has played on the third pairing primarily, and while he saw 1:50 of power-play time Monday, that was due to Jack Thompson being a healthy scratch. Thrun's defense hasn't exactly been great -- he's posted a minus-9 rating with nine PIM, 12 blocked shots, seven hits and seven shots on net so far. Without consistent power-play time, the American blueliner likely won't be an option in fantasy.
OCTOBER 29 • ROTOWIRE
Nets goal in shootout loss Thrun scored a goal on two shots in Friday's 3-2 preseason shootout loss to the Ducks.
Impact Thrun's third-period tally tied the game at 2-2. It was his first point in three preseason outings. While Thrun hasn't made much of an impact on offense yet, he could get a chance to quarterback the Sharks' second power-play unit, given the lack of scoring talent on the blue line. Jake Walman is likely to see time on the first unit, while Thrun may compete with Mario Ferraro throughout the campaign for the second unit.

HockeyBuzz.com - Ben Shelley - Sharks re-sign Henry Thrun NHL Hockey Trade Rumors
JULY 25 • HOCKEYBUZZ.COM
Re-ups for two years Thrun signed a two-year, $2 million contract with the Sharks on Wednesday.
Impact Thrun just finished his entry-level contract and posted 11 points over 51 contests last year. He earned four of those points on the power play and added 71 blocked shots and a minus-22 rating. With the Sharks expected to grow a bit in 2024-25, Thrun should be able to contribute a bit more as a bottom-four defenseman with a power-play role, though his fantasy usefulness is still likely to be limited to deep formats.
JULY 24 • ROTOWIRE
Two assists in Thursday's win Thrun notched two assists, two hits and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Kraken.
Impact Thrun's offense has come to life late in the season -- he has a goal and four assists over his last four contests. The 23-year-old defenseman is at three goals, seven helpers, 47 shots on net, 67 blocked shots and a minus-17 rating through 48 appearances. While he hasn't done a lot, he's seeing significant minutes and some power-play time that gives him upside in deeper fantasy formats over the final week of the campaign.
APRIL 12 • ROTOWIRE
Earns two points against Coyotes Thrun picked up one goal and one assist in a 5-2 loss to Arizona on Sunday.
Impact Thrun snapped his 10-game goalless drought with a power-play marker in the first period to even the score at 1-1. After going nine games without a point, he has earned one goal and two helpers in his past two outings. Thrun has provided nine points, 46 shots on goal and 61 blocked shots through 46 games this season.
APRIL 8 • ROTOWIRE
Produces assist Tuesday Thrun logged an assist and two PIM in Tuesday's 7-2 loss to the Devils.
Impact The helper was Thrun's first point since Jan. 9, ending his nine-game drought. He missed six contests in that span due to a shoulder injury. Thrun has four points, 29 shots on net, 40 blocked shots, 18 hits and a minus-9 rating over 26 appearances at the NHL level this season. He's got some potential, but he's unlikely to realize most of it in 2023-24 while playing for one of the league's worst offenses.
FEBRUARY 28 • ROTOWIRE
Activated from IR Thrun (shoulder) was activated from injured reserve Monday.
Impact If he feels good following the pregame warmup, Thrun could return to action Monday against Vegas, per Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now. Thrun, who has missed the past six contests, has three points, 28 shots on goal and 39 blocked shots in 23 NHL outings this season.
FEBRUARY 19 • ROTOWIRE
Won't return against Flames Thrun (shoulder) will remain on injured reserve ahead of Thursday's clash with Calgary, Max Miller of The Hockey News reports.
Impact Thrun will be shelved for his fifth consecutive contest due to his lingering shoulder problem. There was some speculation that Thrun would be ready to face the Flames, so he could still be an option sooner rather than later. Having said that, the 22-year-old blueliner has one point in his last 21 outings, so few fantasy players will be anxiously awaiting his return.
FEBRUARY 15 • ROTOWIRE
Possible for Thursday Thrun (shoulder) could play Thursday versus the Flames, Max Miller of The Hockey News reports.
Impact Thrun has missed the last four games. Once he's activated from injured reserve, the 22-year-old will likely fill a top-four role with some power-play time.
FEBRUARY 15 • ROTOWIRE
Placed on IR Thrun (shoulder) was added to injured reserve Saturday, Max Miller of The Hockey News reports.
Impact Thrun suffered an apparent shoulder injury in Tuesday's win over the Rangers. The 22-year-old blueliner will now be sidelined until the Sharks return from the All-Star break on Feb. 14. Thrun has a goal and two assists through 23 games in his rookie campaign. Ty Emberson was activated from IR in a corresponding move.
JANUARY 27 • ROTOWIRE
Officially ruled out Saturday Thrun (shoulder) will not be in action versus the Sabres on Saturday, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Impact With Thrun unavailable, the 22-year-old Shakir Mukhamadullin is expected to make his NHL debut and could even see time on the second power-play unit. For his part, Thrun has managed just three points in 23 games this season and probably shouldn't be expected to offer much in the way of offensive upside moving forward.
JANUARY 26 • ROTOWIRE
Questionable for Saturday Thrun was seen with his shoulder wrapped Thursday, raising questions about his availability for Saturday's contest against Buffalo, per Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News...
Impact Thrun has a goal, three points, 28 shots, 13 hits and 39 blocks in 23 outings this season. If he can't play Saturday, then Kyle Burroughs will likely remain in the lineup. Burroughs might otherwise be a healthy scratch to allow for Shakir Mukhamadullin, who was summoned from AHL San Jose on Thursday, to make his NHL debut.

Back with big club Thrun was recalled from AHL San Jose on Tuesday.
Impact Thrun has two assists, three shots on goal and seven blocked shots in three NHL outings this season. If Marc-Edouard Vlasic(personal) is still unavailable, Thrun should be in the lineup Tuesday against Winnipeg
DECEMBER 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Sent back to minors Thrun was reassigned to AHL San Jose on Monday, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Impact Thrun has played in just four NHL games this season, tallying two assists, three shots and seven blocks while averaging 17:47 of ice time. The decision to demote Thrun could be a temporary cap-saving measure before bringing him back ahead of Tuesday's clash with Winnipeg or an indication that Marc-Edouard Vlasic (personal) will be back with the team.
DECEMBER 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Brought up from minors Thrun was summoned from AHL San Jose on Saturday.
Impact Thrun has notched one goal and six points in 18 minor-league contests this campaign. He also has two assists and five blocked shots in two NHL appearances this season.
DECEMBER 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Heads to AHL Thrun was reassigned to the AHL by San Jose.
Impact Thrun has two assists, including one on the power play, and five blocks in two contests with the Sharks this season. The 22-year-old defenseman recorded 31 points in 33 NCAA outings with Harvard University and two helpers in eight games with San Jose in 2022-23.
OCTOBER 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Earns power-play assist Thrun posted a power-play assist and four blocked shots in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Hurricanes.
Impact Thrun has an assist in both of the games he's played this season. He's also picked up five blocked shots and a minus-1 rating, holding his own defensively on a team that has been outscored 12-5 through three contests. Thrun isn't a lock for the lineup yet, but he should have the edge over Ty Emberson while Marc-Edouard Vlasic (lower body) is injured.
OCTOBER 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Posts helper Thursday Thrun notched an assist in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Golden Knights.
Impact Thrun helped out on a Filip Zadina goal in the first period. The 22-year-old Thrun made his debut in 2022-23, picking up two assists in his first of eight appearances. The blueliner will have a chance to grow into a larger role at the NHL level this season, as the Sharks' defense corps has some established names but no true standout players. If he can work his way onto the first power-play unit, Thrun may be a solid waiver-wire option in fantasy.
