Givani Smith - Unavailable Saturday Smith (lower body) won't play Saturday against the Canucks, per Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now.
Impact Smith, who is considered day-to-day, was injured in Thursday's 5-2 loss to Arizona. In 26 appearances this season, he has registered three points, 33 PIM, 27 shots on goal and 45 hits. With Alexander Barabanov (illness) also unavailable to play, Jacob MacDonald could shift back to forward for Saturday's contest.

Alexander Barabanov - Unavailable Saturday Barabanov will miss Saturday's game against Vancouver because of an illness, per Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now.
Impact Barabanov has a goal and five points in 14 contests with the Sharks this season, which is a disappointing start after recording 15 goals and 47 points in 68 outings in 2022-23. When Barabanov's healthy, the 29-year-old will likely serve in a top-six capacity and see time on the power play.
DECEMBER 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Calen Addison - Game-time decision Addison (lower body) will be a game-time decision Saturday against Vancouver, according to Max Miller of The Hockey News.
Impact Addison has accounted for six points, 22 shots on goal and 26 blocked shots in 19 appearances with the Sharks since being acquired from Minnesota. He has missed the past two contests.
DECEMBER 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Mackenzie Blackwood - Slated to start Saturday Blackwood is expected to guard the road crease against Vancouver on Saturday, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Impact Blackwood has lost his last two starts while allowing 10 goals on 58 shots (.828 save percentage). That's dropped him to 4-13-2 with a 3.81 GAA and an .894 save percentage in 22 outings this year. The Canucks lead the league offensively this year with 3.76 goals per game, so it will be difficult for Blackwood to bounce back against that level of competition.

Sharks take losing streak into matchup with the Canucks

The San Jose Sharks look to end a four-game slide with a win over the Vancouver Canucks
DECEMBER 22, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Mario Ferraro - 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
Fabian Zetterlund - Offers helper in loss Zetterlund posted an assist and two PIM in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Coyotes.
Impact Zetterlund snapped a five-game point drought when he set up Anthony Duclair's second-period tally. With four points over 10 games in December, Zetterlund isn't building much momentum on offense. The 24-year-old winger has 13 points, 73 shots on net, 30 hits, 29 blocked shots, 15 PIM and a minus-13 rating over 33 outings overall. Fantasy managers can likely find players with more upside and a better team situation on the waiver wire.
DECEMBER 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
William Eklund - Logs helper in loss Eklund notched an assist and two shots on goal in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Coyotes.
Impact Eklund helped out on a Filip Zadina tally in the third period. With three points over his last five games, Eklund is providing solid offense while continuing to play on the top line. He's at seven goals, nine helpers, 48 shots on net, 29 blocked shots and a minus-13 rating through 32 appearances this season. The 21-year-old will likely have ups and downs as he navigates his first full NHL campaign.
DECEMBER 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Filip Zadina - Benefits from top-line move Zadina scored a goal on six shots in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Coyotes.
Impact Zadina scored after scooping up a loose puck early in the third period. This was Zadina's first game on the Sharks' top line and he made the most of the opportunity alongside Tomas Hertl and William Eklund. Zadina has three points over his last six games and eight points, 45 shots and a minus-21 rating through 28 outings overall.
DECEMBER 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Anthony Duclair - Buries goal in loss Duclair scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Coyotes.
Impact Duclair snapped a six-game goal drought with his second-period tally. The 28-year-old was scratched Sunday for getting caught offside, but it appears that was a one-and-done situation. Duclair is up to seven goals, 12 points, 48 shots on net and a minus-9 rating through 29 appearances. He'll likely continue to play in a middle-six role.
DECEMBER 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Mackenzie Blackwood - Loses to Coyotes Blackwood allowed five goals on 30 shots in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Coyotes.
Impact Blackwood has allowed four or more goals in four of his last five appearances as his performance continues to slip. The 27-year-old has just one win in that span and just two victories since Nov. 12. For the season, Blackwood is at a 4-13-2 record with a 3.81 GAA and an .894 save percentage through 22 appearances. With Kaapo Kahkonen playing better of late, Blackwood has slipped into an even share of playing time. He could be at risk of falling further into a true backup role if he doesn't turn things around.

Givani Smith - Hurt in Thursday's game Smith (undisclosed) won't return to Thursday's game versus the Coyotes, Max Miller of The Hockey News reports.
Impact Smith was hurt in the second period on a hit from Matt Dumba in the neutral zone. The 25-year-old Smith has filled a fourth-line role for most of the time he's in the lineup, so his absence won't make waves in fantasy. If he misses time, Alexander Barabanov is likely to return to the lineup.

Calen Addison - Not in Thursday's lineup Addison (lower body) will not play Thursday versus the Coyotes, Max Miller of The Hockey News reports.
Impact Addison was reportedly available to play Thursday, so it's unclear if this is injury management or a setback for the defenseman. Jan Rutta (illness) is back in action, so the Sharks will at least get one blueliner healthy after an absence.

Calen Addison - Game-time call Thursday Addison (lower body) will be a game-time decision versus Arizona on Thursday, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.
Impact Addison was reportedly a game-time call before Tuesday's contest as well but failed to suit up in that one. Still, it appears the 23-year-old defenseman is close to getting back on the ice even if he doesn't face the Coyotes. With just one goal in 19 games this season, Addison is unlikely to offer more than mid-range fantasy value the rest of the way.
DECEMBER 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Jan Rutta - Good to play Thursday Rutta (illness) is available for Thursday's game against Arizona, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.
Impact Rutta has five assists, 17 hits and 43 blocks in 26 contests with the Sharks this season. His return might result in Henry Thrun being a healthy scratch Thursday.
DECEMBER 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Mackenzie Blackwood - Between pipes Thursday Blackwood will tend the twine at home versus the Coyotes on Thursday, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Impact Blackwood continues to share the crease with Kaapo Kahkonen, with the duo having evenly divided the workload over the last nine games. In his last four outings, the 27-year-old Blackwood has struggled to keep pucks out of the netting, conceding 16 goals on 121 shots (.868 save percentage).
