Mackenzie Blackwood - Facing Blackhawks Blackwood was the first netminder off the ice at morning practice, per as, and is slated to defend the home crease versus Chicago on Thursday.
Impact Blackwood picked up the overtime win Monday, despite stopping only 19 of 23 shots in a 5-4 victory over Utah. The 27-year-old netminder is 1-3-2 with a 3.89 GAA and an .888 save percentage. He is currently the No. 1 goaltender with the Sharks, but that may not last long as Yaroslav Askarov is 5-0-0 with a 1.20 GAA and .959 save percentage at AHL San Jose, after another brilliant performance Wednesday, stopping 36 shots in a 5-1 win over Coachella Valley. Blackwood will face the Blackhawks, who are averaging 2.70 goals per game.

Sharks acquire defenseman Timothy Liljegren in a trade with the Maple Leafs
The San Jose Sharks have acquired defenseman Timothy Liljegren from the Toronto Maple LeafsOCTOBER 30 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Timothy Liljegren - Dealt to San Jose Liljegren was traded from the Maple Leafs to the Sharks on Wednesday, in exchange for a 2025 third-round pick, a 2026 sixth-round pick and Matt Benning.
Impact Liljegren has fallen out of favor with the Maple Leafs, but he should get a larger opportunity to play with the Sharks. The 25-year-old is also under contract for one more year. Liljegren will likely get bottom-four minutes once he makes his Sharks debut, but the lack of proven talent on his new team's blue line gives him a better chance to earn a bigger role.

Blackhawks take on the Sharks following Donato's 2-goal performance
The Chicago Blackhawks visit the San Jose Sharks after Ryan Donato scored two goals in the Blackhawks' 5-2 win over the Colorado AvalancheOCTOBER 30 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Mario Ferraro - 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.

Carl Grundstrom - Finds assist in win Grundstrom posted an assist, two shots on goal and two hits in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Kings.
Impact Grundstrom helped out on a Jake Walman tally early in the second period. The 26-year-old Grundstrom has filled a fourth-line role when in the lineup, but he's also twice been a healthy scratch. The winger has two assists, seven shots on net, four PIM, 25 hits and a minus-2 rating over nine appearances. Grundstrom will compete with the likes of Ethan Cardwell, Klim Kostin and Givani Smith for playing time.

Nico Sturm - Logs helper Tuesday Sturm notched an assist and two hits in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Kings.
Impact Sturm picked up his third point of the season and his second in the last three games when he set up Jake Walman's opening goal at 2:20 of the second period. The 29-year-old Sturm is firmly in a fourth-line role, giving him little opportunity to help on offense. The center has collected 18 hits, six shots on net and a minus-4 rating through 11 appearances.
OCTOBER 30 • ROTOWIRE
Luke Kunin - Posts helper in win Kunin logged an assist, two shots on goal, two hits, two PIM and three blocked shots in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Kings.
Impact Kunin set up William Eklund's empty-net tally to seal the Sharks' second win in a row. After a slow start to the year, Kunin has a goal and an assist over his last three outings. He's at three points, 17 shots on net, 24 hits, 16 blocked shots, 13 PIM and a minus-2 rating through 11 contests overall. The 26-year-old offers grit and decent defensive play in a middle-six role, though his offense is likely to remain limited.
OCTOBER 30 • ROTOWIRE
Alex Wennberg - Generates assist in win Wennberg notched an assist in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Kings.
Impact Wennberg's resurgence on offense has seen him pick up five points over his last four games. That's all of his scoring this season, and the center has added 16 shots on net, 11 blocked shots, eight hits and a minus-3 rating through 11 appearances. Wennberg looks set to hold down the second-line center spot until Macklin Celebrini (lower body) is able to return, at which point Wennberg would likely move to the third line.
