Ty Emberson - Not close to returning Emberson (lower body) is likely at least two weeks away from returning, Max Miller of The Hockey News reports Wednesday.
Impact Emberson has a goal, 10 points, 94 hits and 46 blocks in 30 contests this season. He was injured last Thursday and is on injured reserve. Once Emberson is ready to return, he might serve in a top-four capacity but is unlikely to receive much power-play ice time.

Impact Emberson has a goal and 10 points in 30 contests with the Sharks this season. His placement on IR can be retroactive to when he was injured last Thursday, but Emberson is considered week-to-week, so his timetable will likely be unaffected by this move regardless.

Jan Rutta - Notches assist Rutta posted an assist in Tuesday's 7-6 overtime loss to the Stars.
Impact This was Rutta's third helper in the last six contests. The 33-year-old blueliner has been solid in a top-four role lately, though his offense remains modest at best. He's up to 15 points, 54 shots on net, 89 blocked shots, 58 hits, 36 PIM and a minus-11 rating through 55 outings overall. Rutta's likely to maintain his current role, but his fantasy value is limited to deeper formats.

Marc-Edouard Vlasic - Produces assist in overtime loss Vlasic recorded an assist and two blocked shots in Tuesday's 7-6 overtime loss to the Stars.
Impact Vlasic picked up his first point in five games, though he missed three contests with an upper-body injury in that span.

Nico Sturm - Logs helper Tuesday Sturm provided an assist in Tuesday's 7-6 overtime loss to the Stars.
Impact Sturm has two goals and an assist over his last five games, representing solid production for a middle-six forward in a weak offense. The 28-year-old is centering the Sharks' third line in recent games while playing a more defensive role. He's at 11 points, 41 shots on net, 47 hits and a minus-11 rating through 42 appearances this season, so he doesn't need to be tracked closely in fantasy.
MARCH 6 • ROTOWIRE
Mike Hoffman - Provides helper Tuesday Hoffman logged an assist in Tuesday's 7-6 overtime loss to the Stars.
Impact While Hoffman has three points over his last four outings, it hasn't helped him escape the fourth line. The veteran winger is up to 21 points, 67 shots on net and a minus-22 rating through 59 appearances this season. Hoffman's limited role and poor scoring production means he should be left off of most fantasy rosters.
MARCH 6 • ROTOWIRE
Ryan Carpenter - Deposits goal Carpenter scored a goal in Tuesday's 7-6 overtime loss to the Stars.
Impact Carpenter had been limited to one assist over his previous 12 outings. Lengthy scoring droughts should come as no surprise for a player stuck in a fourth-line role on one of the league's weakest teams. Carpenter has done well to generate 11 points with 42 shots on net, 35 hits, 24 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating through 44 outings this season, but that's not enough production to warrant a roster spot in fantasy.
MARCH 6 • ROTOWIRE
Filip Zadina - Pots goal in overtime loss Zadina scored a goal on two shots and went minus-2 in Tuesday's 7-6 overtime loss to the Stars.
Impact Zadina has 10 goals on the year, five of which he's scored in the last nine contests. The winger is up to 20 points, 104 shots on net, 43 hits and a minus-29 rating through 56 outings. There are still flaws in his game, but Zadina has shown some growth in the second half of the campaign while logging middle-six minutes.
MARCH 6 • ROTOWIRE
Mikael Granlund - One of each Tuesday Granlund scored a goal on two shots, added a power-play assist, blocked two shots, logged four PIM and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 7-6 overtime loss to the Stars.
Impact Granlund did a little bit of nearly everything in the high-scoring contest. The 32-year-old center has six points over his last four games and continues to look good in a top-line role despite the Sharks' overall struggles. He's up to nine goals, 29 assists, 95 shots on net, 51 hits, 41 blocked shots, 24 PIM and a minus-7 rating through 48 appearances this season.
MARCH 6 • ROTOWIRE
Fabian Zetterlund - Earns three points Tuesday Zetterlund scored a goal on four shots and added two power-play assists in Tuesday's 7-6 overtime loss to the Stars.
Impact Zetterlund has looked solid on the top line at times lately, earning three multi-point efforts over his last eight games. He has no points in the other five contests in that span. The 24-year-old winger is up to 16 goals, 12 helpers, eight power-play points, 144 shots on net, 92 hits, 54 blocked shots and a minus-18 rating through 61 appearances this season. It's already a career year for him, but the Sharks' overall poor play has kept it from being Zetterlund's breakout campaign.
MARCH 6 • ROTOWIRE
Anthony Duclair - Four-point effort goes to waste Duclair scored twice on the power play and added two assists in Tuesday's 7-6 overtime loss to the Stars.
Impact Duclair has erupted on offense with five goals and three assists over his last four outings. The winger helped the Sharks build a 5-3 lead through two periods, but they couldn't hold off the Stars' comeback. Duclair is up to 16 goals, 27 points (10 on the power play), 98 shots on net, 28 PIM and a minus-12 rating through 56 appearances. His recent surge has earned him top-line minutes, though he'd likely end up in a middle-six role if the Sharks trade him away.
MARCH 6 • ROTOWIRE
Kaapo Kahkonen - Crumbles late in overtime loss Kahkonen surrendered seven goals on 40 shots in Tuesday's 7-6 overtime loss to the Stars.
Impact Kahkonen had a three-goal lead to protect after Mikael Granlund scored in the third period. That lead evaporated when the Stars got three goals in a span of 2:44 in the third period, and Roope Hintz's game-winning tally completed the Sharks' collapse in overtime. Kahkonen is 0-7-2 with 38 goals allowed over his last nine appearances. He's now at 6-20-3 with a 3.81 GAA and an .895 save percentage through 31 games. The Sharks host the Islanders on Thursday.

Impact Eklund posted a power-play assist and a minus-4 rating in the contest. The Sharks are already running thin down the middle -- Eklund's a natural winger but has been playing at center in recent weeks. An update on his status should be available prior to Thursday's game versus the Islanders.

Alexander Barabanov - Expected to play Barabanov (lower body) is expected to be in the lineup Tuesday versus the Stars, Max Miller of The Hockey News reports.
Impact Barabanov and William Eklund (illness) both took the ice for warmups, while Kevin Labanc did not. The 29-year-old Barabanov returns from a two-game absence, but he will likely remain in a bottom-six role. He has just 10 points through 37 outings this season.
