SAN JOSE SHARKS NEWS

Mario Ferraro - 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.

Impact Ferraro avoided an injury scare after leaving Sunday's game in Colorado after just 4:09 of ice time. He's earned six assists over his last six contests and continues to function as the Sharks' top defenseman. 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.

Justin Bailey - Tips in goal Bailey scored a goal in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Red Wings.

Impact Bailey tipped in a Mario Ferraro shot in the second period. The goal was Bailey's first point since he scored Dec. 12 versus the Jets. The 28-year-old winger is up to six points, 16 shots on net, 12 hits, 12 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating through 17 appearances. He continues to see bottom-six minutes, but Bailey's offense is too limited for fantasy purposes.

Mario Ferraro - 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.

Kaapo Kahkonen - On track to start Per Max Miller of The Hockey News, Kahkonen was the first goalie off the ice at morning skate, putting him on track to guard the home goal versus Detroit on Tuesday.

Impact Kahkonen was sharp in his last start Sunday against the Avalanche, stopping 30 of 32 shots, but he was still tagged with a loss due to insufficient goal support from his teammates. He'll try to snap his personal five-game losing streak in a somewhat favorable home matchup with a Red Wings team that's 7-9-1 on the road this year.

Calen Addison - First helper since return Addison produced a power-play assist, four blocked shots and two PIM in Sunday's 3-1 loss to the Avalanche.

Impact Addison snapped a five-game point drought with his helper on Tomas Hertl's second-period marker. It was Addison's first power-play point since Nov. 25. The defenseman is up to 12 points, 41 shots on net, 36 blocked shots, 20 PIM and a minus-15 rating over 34 appearances between the Sharks and the Wild this season. Addison may be called on for a larger role if Mario Ferraro (upper body) misses time after leaving Sunday's contest.

Mikael Granlund - Earns 20th helper of season Granlund notched a power-play assist, two hits, two blocked shots and two PIM in Sunday's 3-1 loss to the Avalanche.

Impact Granlund set up Tomas Hertl's tally in the second period. The helper was Granlund's 20th of the campaign, which is all the more impressive given the Sharks' weak offense and the fact he missed two weeks in October. The forward is up to 24 points (eight on the power play), 62 shots on net, 26 hits, 24 blocked shots and a minus-8 rating through 30 appearances. Most Sharks aren't steady enough for fantasy, but Granlund is one of the exceptions to that rule.

Tomas Hertl - Tallies lone goal in loss Hertl scored a power-play goal and added 10 PIM in Sunday's 3-1 loss to the Avalanche.

Impact Hertl tied the game at 1-1 late in the second period, but the Sharks couldn't get ahead after that. The 30-year-old turned up his offense with nine tallies and three assists over 14 outings in December. For the season, he's managed 13 goals, 28 points (nine on the power play), 90 shots on net, 31 blocked shots, 26 hits, 20 PIM and a minus-19 rating over 36 contests in a top-line role.

Kaapo Kahkonen - Falls short Sunday Kahkonen stopped 30 of 32 shots in Sunday's 3-1 loss to the Avalanche.

Impact Kahkonen put in a strong effort in a game that saw the Avalanche triple up the Sharks in shots (33-11), but it wasn't enough. Valeri Nichushkin scored the deciding goal at 16:31 of the third period. Kahkonen has gone 0-4-1 with 16 goals allowed over his last six appearances. The Finn is at 5-10-1 with a 3.51 GAA and a .902 save percentage through 18 outings this season. With Mackenzie Blackwood recovered from his recent illness, the Sharks may return to rotating between their goalies going forward.

Impact Blackwood missed two games with the illness, but the Sharks returned Magnus Chrona to AHL San Jose on Saturday, clearing the way for Blackwood to get back in action. While Kaapo Kahkonen will start Sunday, Blackwood may be able to get back in the crease as soon as Tuesday's game versus the Red Wings.
