Mackenzie Blackwood - Starting in Detroit Blackwood was the first goaltender off the ice at morning practice and will get the road start versus Detroit on Thursday, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.

Impact Blackwood has lost his last two starts, including giving up six goals on 36 shots in a 6-5 loss to the Rangers on Sunday. Overall, Blackwood is 3-11-2 with a 3.72 GAA and .899 save percentage in 2023-24. The Red Wings should give him plenty of trouble as they are third in NHL scoring, averaging 3.79 goals per game.

Mikael Granlund - Snags two assists Granlund recorded a pair of helpers versus the Red Wings on Thursday.

Impact Granlund has put together three multi-point outings in his last six contests, racking up a combined two goals and seven assists. Despite averaging 2:27 of ice time with the man advantage over that stretch, only one of those nine points has been scored on the power play.

Kevin Labanc - Tallies first goal this season Labanc scored a goal on his lone shot in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime win over the Islanders.

Impact Labanc got the Sharks' third-period comeback started with his first goal of the season, as he deflected a Nikita Okhotyuk shot past Ilya Sorokin to cut New York's lead to 4-2. Labanc now has a goal and an assist in his last two games after tallying just two points, both assists, in his first 15 contests. The 27-year-old winger won't offer much fantasy upside in a bottom-six role with San Jose, though he has averaged 1:04 of power-play time on the Sharks' second unit.

Kaapo Kahkonen - Picks up OT win Kahkonen stopped 33 of 37 shots in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime win over the Islanders.

Impact Kahkonen found himself in a 4-1 hole midway through the third period before the Sharks rallied for three unanswered goals in the final eight minutes of the frame, followed by William Eklund's game-winner in the closing seconds of overtime. After dropping his first five starts of the season, the 27-year-old Kahkonen has now won four of his last five outings. He's now 4-6-0 with an .896 save percentage and 3.96 GAA while sharing the crease with Mackenzie Blackwood this year.

William Eklund - Three points in OT win Eklund tallied a goal and two assists in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime victory over the Islanders.

Impact Eklund picked up assists on a pair of Tomas Hertl goals late in the third period before scoring the game-winner with just five seconds left in overtime. It's the second multi-point effort for Eklund this year -- he came into Tuesday's contest with just one point (an empty-net goal) in his previous five games. He's now up to six goals and 12 points through 26 games this season. While the 21-year-old Eklund can't be relied on to provide consistent scoring yet, the talented winger should get an extended look on San Jose's first line and top power-play unit.

The 30-year-old Hertl had gone six games without a goal prior to Tuesday's performance, though he did have six assists in that span. Overall, he's up to seven goals and 21 points through 24 games this season.

Filip Zadina - Ready to return Zadina (upper body) will be activated from injured reserve ahead of his return to the lineup Tuesday versus the Islanders, per Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now.

Impact Zadina, who has missed the past five games, has picked up three goals, two assists and 30 shots on net over 20 outings this season. He is projected to occupy a spot on the fourth line in his return to the lineup.

DECEMBER 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Nico Sturm - Good to go Sturm (lower body) will return to the lineup Tuesday against the Islanders, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.

Impact Sturm will be back in the fold after missing Sunday's 6-5 loss to the Rangers. He has contributed two assists, 22 shots on goal, 21 blocked shots and 12 hits in 22 appearances this season. Sturm is slated to center the third line in Tuesday's contest.

DECEMBER 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Kaapo Kahkonen - Exits ice first Kahkonen was the first goalie to leave the ice Tuesday, Max Miller of The Hockey News reports, indicating he'll defend the cage on the road versus the Islanders.

Impact Kahkonen has secured victories in three of his last four outings while logging a .923 save percentage. The Sharks are currently the worst in the league in shots allowed per game (37.2), so fantasy players should probably expect Kahkonen to continue to see a lot of rubber. If he can limit the number of pucks that cross the goal line, Kahkonen should produce solid fantasy value given that high potential save volume.

DECEMBER 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Ryan Carpenter - Surfaces on IR Carpenter (undisclosed) was put on injured reserve Monday, per the NHL media site.

Impact Carpenter scored a goal and logged 15:52 of ice time in Sunday's 6-5 loss to the Rangers. He will be unavailable for at least the Sharks' next three games due to his placement on the IR list. Carpenter has picked up one goal, four assists and 21 shots on net through 18 appearances this campaign.

DECEMBER 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Ty Emberson - Lands on IR Emberson (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Monday, per the NHL media site.

Impact Emberson, who sat out Sunday's 6-5 loss to the Rangers, will miss at least two more contests following his placement on the IR list. He has earned one goal, three assists, 16 shots on net, 20 blocked shots and 34 hits in 16 games this season.

DECEMBER 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Ryan Carpenter - Tallies first of the season Carpenter scored a goal on four shots in Sunday's 6-5 loss to the Rangers.

Impact Carpenter put the Sharks ahead 2-1 midway through the first period, firing a wrist shot off the glove of Jonathan Quick for his first goal of the season. The 32-year-old center now has five points (one goal, four assists) through 18 games this year. Carpenter isn't likely to merit much fantasy consideration (he posted a career-high 18 points in 2018) while skating in a bottom-six role on a last-place Sharks team.

DECEMBER 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Fabian Zetterlund - Scores in loss Zetterlund tallied a goal on three shots in Sunday's 6-5 loss to the Rangers.

Impact Zetterlund cut New York's lead to 6-4 in the third period, burying a rebound off Jonathan Quick for his third goal in five games. The 24-year-old Zetterlund now has a career-best seven goals and 10 points through 25 games this season. The Swedish winger does offer some scoring potential, and he should continue to see top-line usage on a rebuilding Sharks team.

DECEMBER 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Alexander Barabanov - Scores in return Barabanov scored a goal on his lone shot in Sunday's 6-5 loss to the Rangers.

Impact After missing 18 games with a broken finger, Barabanov scored his first goal of the season late in the third period Sunday, redirecting a Calen Addison feed past Jonathan Quick to cut the Sharks' deficit to 6-5. The 29-year-old Barabanov played 18:19 minutes in the loss, third most among San Jose forwards, including 2:01 on the power play. He should continue to work in a top-six role after tallying 15 goals and 47 points in 68 games last season.

Anthony Duclair - Two points Sunday Duclair tallied a goal and an assist in Sunday's 6-5 loss to the Rangers.

Impact Duclair opened the scoring early in the first period, beating Jonathan Quick on a breakaway, before adding an assist on Fabian Zetterlund's tally in the third. The 28-year-old Duclair now has three goals and an assist in his last two games after he was held scoreless in his previous eight contests. He's up to six goals and nine points through 22 games this season.

DECEMBER 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Mackenzie Blackwood - Falls to New York Blackwood allowed six goals on 36 shots in Sunday's 6-5 loss to the Rangers.

Impact It was a tough night for Blackwood, who surrendered three goals in the first period en route to a 6-5 loss. The 26-year-old Blackwood had been sharp coming into Sunday's outing, stopping 61 of 71 shots in his previous two starts. Overall, he's now 3-11-2 with an .899 save percentage on the season. While Blackwood should continue to serve as San Jose's primary starter over Kaapo Kahkonen, he's hard to trust as a fantasy option behind a last-place Sharks team.
