Jan Rutta - Remains day-to-day Rutta (lower body) is still day-to-day and won't be an option against the Flyers on Tuesday, per NHL.com.

Impact Rutta isn't exactly an offensive powerhouse but with 16 points in 56 games this season, the blueliner could reach the 20-point threshold for the first time since his rookie season with Chicago back in 2017-18. Even once cleared to play, Rutta should reclaim a spot in the lineup, perhaps at the expense of Jacob MacDonald.

Mike Hoffman - Labeled day-to-day Hoffman is day-to-day with an upper-body injury and won't be available against the Flyers on Tuesday, per NHL.com.

Impact Hoffman is expected to be replaced in the lineup by Kevin Labanc, who could also move into Hoffman's spot with the No. 2 power-play unit. Depending on how long the 34-year-old Hoffman is on the shelf, he could be in danger of missing the 30-point mark for the first time since 2013-14 when he played in just 25 NHL games.

Mackenzie Blackwood - Not facing shots yet Blackwood (groin) was on the ice for Tuesday's morning skate but hasn't started facing shots yet. The netminder won't play against the Flyers but could return during the team's fiv...

Impact Blackwood has been out of action since Feb. 27 versus the Devils when he was forced out of the game after making just 13 saves. Once given the all-clear, the netminder should get the chance to reclaim the starting role alongside Magnus Chrona, with the duo likely splitting the workload the rest of the way.

Mikael Granlund - Provides two helpers in win Novak provided two assists -- both on the power play -- in Saturday's 2-1 win over Ottawa.

Impact With the Sharks on the power play, Granlund contributed two assists on both of Thomas Bordeleau's goals to help propel the basement-dwelling Sharks out of a nine-game losing streak. Granlund added two shots and a whopping four blocked shots while leading all forwards with 23:39 of ice time. Even with the Sharks in last place, Granlund has eight points - two goals and six assists - in his past six games. With the amount of minutes he plays as a forward, including on the power play, the 32-year old center might be someone worth picking up for managers needing more point production heading towards the fantasy playoffs.

Mike Hoffman - Exits after late hit Hoffman (undisclosed) exited Saturday's game in the third period after a hit from the Senators' Brady Tkachuk, Max Miller of The Hockey News reports.

Impact Hoffman's injury happened late in the third period, and there was no update on his status after the game. The Sharks are beginning a road trip Tuesday in Philadelphia. It's unclear if the winger will be available for that trip.

Thomas Bordeleau - Pots power-play pair in win Bordeleau scored two power-play goals on three shots in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Senators.

Impact The Sharks were on a nine-game losing streak and Bordeleau helped end it with two power-play goals in the first two periods that ultimately powered them to the win. It helps that Bordeleau is finally seeing more first group power-play time as he played 4:20 with the extra attacker. Since being pulled up from the AHL on March 6, Bordeleau has four points in eight games but has three in his last two. Managers should keep an eye on his minutes and power-play time moving forward if they are considering picking him up.

Impact Rutta's presence on the trip suggests his injury is of the short-term variety. When he's ready to play again, Calen Addison or Jacob MacDonald are the most likely defensemen to exit the lineup.

Magnus Chrona - Gets first win of NHL career Chrona stopped 31 of 32 shots in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Senators.

Impact What a night to remember for Chrona. It was only the fifth game of his NHL career and he was finally able to get his first win! Chrona was the difference maker on the night, stopping all but one shot in the second period for an impressive .969 save percentage. After allowing the power-play goal, Chrona kicked aside the remaining 14 shots sent his way to backstop the Sharks to their first win since Feb. 15. While the win was impressive, fantasy managers should stay away from him, even as a streaming option, as San Jose is still sitting at the bottom of the standings so wins will be few and far between.
