MARIO FERRARO NEWS

Collects helper Monday Ferraro notched an assist, two hits and a plus-2 rating in Monday's 5-4 overtime win over the Red Wings.

Impact Ferraro snapped an eight-game point drought with this helper. During that slump, he went minus-9 with 24 hits and 14 blocked shots. The 26-year-old defenseman plays a physical game, and that doesn't often include making much of an impact on offense. He's at three helpers, 23 shots on net, 56 hits, 39 blocks and a minus-8 rating through 20 appearances.

Adds assist Ferraro recorded an assist, six hits and six blocked shots in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Kings.

Impact Ferraro's two helpers this season have come over the last three games. The 26-year-old defenseman continues to see top-four minutes, but he plays in a shutdown role that is unlikely to yield much offense for a team that struggles to score. He has accumulated 30 hits, 24 blocked shots, 13 shots on net and a minus-1 rating over 11 appearances.

Lends helper in loss Ferraro notched an assist and five hits in Saturday's 7-3 loss to the Golden Knights.

Impact The assist was Ferraro's first point of the season. The 26-year-old defenseman began the year on the top pairing, but he's gone six games without exceeding 20 minutes of ice time. He's also not part of the power play, with Jake Walman and Jack Thompson seeing the most time with the man advantage. Ferraro has racked up 21 hits, 17 blocked shots, nine shots on net and a plus-1 rating, serving as a steady top-four defender, but his fantasy appeal is limited to deep formats.

OCTOBER 27 • ROTOWIRE

Lights lamp in win Ferraro scored a goal on two shots and blocked two shots in Saturday's 6-5 preseason win over the Golden Knights.

Impact Ferraro tallied early in the third period, tying the game at 3-3. The 26-year-old defenseman could be the Sharks' top overall blueliner this year, but he has little fantasy upside given his career high in points is 21 from 78 games last season. He'll have extra value in formats that count hits and blocked shots -- he's produced at least 100 of each in three straight years -- but Ferraro is also likely to be heavily in the red for plus-minus rating since he'll play a lot of minutes on a poor team.

OCTOBER 6 • ROTOWIRE

Two-point effort in loss Ferraro scored a goal on four shots and added an assist in Saturday's 6-2 loss to the Wild.

Impact Ferraro set up a Jan Rutta tally in the first period before scoring one of his own in the second. Entering Saturday, Ferraro had gone nine games without a point. The defenseman continues to play in a top-pairing role as a defensive presence. He's at a career-high 21 points with 123 shots on net, 118 hits, 189 blocked shots and a minus-35 rating through 76 appearances.

APRIL 14 • ROTOWIRE

Adds helper Saturday Ferraro put up an assist and went minus-2 in Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Blackhawks.

Impact Ferraro has picked up the pace lately with a goal and four assists over his last five outings. Prior to that warm stretch, he went 18 contests without a point and missed four games with a lower-body injury during the slump. The 25-year-old defenseman has a career-high 19 points with 109 shots on net, 107 hits, 175 blocked shots and a minus-31 rating through 66 appearances. His physicality is a plus, but big minutes on a weak team puts a significant cap on Ferraro's fantasy upside.

MARCH 24 • ROTOWIRE

Cleared to play versus Jets Ferraro (lower body) will be in the lineup for Wednesday's clash with Winnipeg, Max Miller of The Hockey News reports.

Impact Ferraro missed the Sharks' previous four contests due to his lower-body injury. The blueliner remains stuck in a 19-game goal drought during which he registered nine assists, 30 shots and 58 blocks. With just six more points, Ferraro can reach the 20-point threshold for the first time in his five-year NHL career.

Impact In a corresponding move, Jacob MacDonald (lower body) was activated from the IR list.

JANUARY 29 • ROTOWIRE

Injured Monday Ferraro (undisclosed) will not return to Monday's game against the Kings.

Impact Ferraro took a spill into the boards during the second period and did not come back to the game. The 25-year-old has eight points over his last 13 games, though all of those points came during three multi-point efforts. He'll be in danger of missing some time as the Sharks will be right back in action Tuesday against the Rangers.

JANUARY 23 • ROTOWIRE

Three helpers in Saturday's loss Ferraro notched three assists in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Senators.

Impact The 25-year-old defenseman did his best to keep the Sharks in the game, adding four blocked shots, three hits, one shot on net and a plus-2 rating to his ledger. Ferraro has three multi-assist performances in the last 10 games, racking up eight helpers in total, but those are his only points during that stretch. San Jose is taking a long look at Calen Addison on the first power-play unit, but Ferraro is quarterbacking the second unit and has been the team's most productive scorer off the blue line of late.

JANUARY 14 • ROTOWIRE

Dishes two assists in loss Ferraro notched two assists, two shots on goal, four blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Red Wings.

For the season, the 25-year-old has one goal, 10 helpers, 63 shots on net, 105 blocks, 40 hits, 24 PIM and a minus-22 rating over 38 appearances. He's matched his point production from 72 contests last year, and Ferraro could be on his way to a career year.

JANUARY 3 • ROTOWIRE

Good to go Ferraro will play Tuesday against Detroit after getting a positive result from an MRI on his ribs, according to Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now.

Impact Ferraro, who was injured early in Sunday's 3-1 loss to Colorado, is slated to play on the top pairing in Tuesday's contest. He has one goal, eight assists, 61 shots on net, 101 blocked shots and 40 hits over 37 outings this season.

JANUARY 2 • ROTOWIRE

Sustains upper-body injury Ferraro (upper body) won't return to Sunday's game versus the Avalanche.

Impact Ferraro was hurt in the first period on a heavy hit. The 25-year-old has four assists over his last five games. If Ferraro can't play Tuesday versus the Red Wings, Marc-Edouard Vlasic or Kyle Burroughs could rejoin the lineup.

JANUARY 1 • ROTOWIRE

Distributes trio of assists Ferraro notched three assists and four blocked shots in Saturday's 7-4 loss to the Canucks.

Impact Ferraro has four helpers over his last two games, though it's likely just a short-term uptick on offense. The 25-year-old blueliner's career high in points in a season is 17, though he could challenge that mark in 2023-24. He's already at nine points through 34 contests while adding 58 shots on net, 37 hits, 96 blocked shots and a minus-18 rating. Ferraro should continue to see top-four usage as a solid defensive presence.

DECEMBER 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Produces assist Thursday Ferraro logged an assist, four shots on goal and two blocked shots in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Coyotes.

Impact Ferraro continues to log heavy defensive minutes, averaging 24:34 per game in December while adding three points over 10 contests this month. The 25-year-old lucked into his helper Thursday -- the puck slipped off his stick and straight to goal-scorer Filip Zadina. Ferraro is up to six points, 58 shots on net, 92 blocked shots, 36 hits, 22 PIM and a minus-18 rating through 33 appearances in a top-four role.

DECEMBER 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Strikes early Sunday Ferraro scored a goal on two shots in Sunday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Golden Knights.

Impact Ferraro stunned the Vegas crowd early with a goal 29 seconds into the game, his first tally of the campaign. The 25-year-old defenseman has three points and a plus-4 rating over his last eight games. Overall, he's at five points, 49 shots on net, 29 hits, 80 blocked shots and a minus-16 rating through 28 contests while logging top-four minutes in his fifth season with the Sharks.

DECEMBER 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Chips in with helper Ferraro posted an assist and blocked two shots in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Canucks.

Impact Ferraro helped out on a Mikael Granlund goal in the third period. The assist was Ferraro's first point through 12 outings in November -- he's also gone minus-13 while racking up 41 blocked shots this month. The 25-year-old defenseman showed some offensive promise early in his career, but he hasn't developed that side of his game much. He's at three assists, 36 shots on net, 64 blocks, 22 hits, 16 PIM and a minus-19 rating through 21 contests in a top-four role this season.

NOVEMBER 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Contributes on both ends Ferraro supplied an assist, three blocked shots and five shots on goal in Saturday's 5-1 loss to the Predators.

Impact The Preds dominated in this one, but Ferraro at least helped Team Teal spoil goaltender Juuse Saros' shutout bid with his primary assist in the third period. Still, fantasy managers likely won't take the bait on Ferraro's services, as this was his first point through five games, and the top-pairing defenseman has yet to reach the 20-point mark in any season. More of a shutdown type of player, Ferraro has committed to six hits with 16 blocked shots this season.

OCTOBER 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Goal and assist Thursday Ferraro scored a goal on two shots, added an assist and blocked three shots in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Golden Knights.

The 24-year-old defenseman was a noticeable presence Thursday, scoring the opening goal and setting up the Sharks' second tally. Ferraro is up to 11 points, 61 shots on net, 121 hits, 131 blocked shots and a minus-26 rating through a career-high 65 outings.

The 22-year-old has 13 points, 102 hits, 57 blocks and 45 shots on goal through 35 contests. The scoring numbers don't pop off the page, but Ferraro's physicality could give him some appeal in deeper fantasy formats.
