Kaapo Kahkonen - Guarding cage Wednesday Kahkonen will patrol the crease on the road against Seattle on Wednesday, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Impact Kahkonen is coming off his first win of the season, stopping 44 of 45 shots against the Blues on Thursday. Overall, the 27-year-old netminder is sporting a 1-5-0 record and a career-worst 3.87 GAA. Unless he suddenly picks up his game, Kahkonen figures to remain the second-choice option behind Mackenzie Blackwood.

Calen Addison - Collects power-play helper Addison notched a power-play assist, two shots on goal, three blocked shots and a minus-2 rating in Monday's 3-1 loss to the Canucks.

Impact Addison ended a seven-game point drought with his first point in six outings for the Sharks. He set up a Tomas Hertl tally in the third period. Through 18 contests overall, Addison has six helpers (four on the power play), 28 shots on net, 16 blocked shots and a minus-10 rating between the Sharks and the Wild this season. The 23-year-old will likely continue to get big minutes in San Jose, but his defensive play remains a work in progress and the team around him hasn't helped his offense much so far.

Mikael Granlund - Contributes power-play helper Granlund recorded a power-play assist and five hits in Monday's 3-1 loss to the Canucks.

Impact Granlund helped out on a Tomas Hertl tally in the third period. With three assists over his last three games, two of which have come on the power play, Granlund is getting a bit more comfortable with his new team. The 31-year-old has also exceeded 21 minutes of ice time in each of those contests. Overall, he has four helpers, 16 shots on net, 14 hits, seven blocked shots and a minus-5 rating through 11 outings.

NOVEMBER 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Tomas Hertl - Scores lone goal on power play Hertl scored a power-play goal on four shots, added three hits and went minus-3 in Monday's 3-1 loss to the Canucks.

Impact Hertl has carved out a productive stretch with three goals and four helpers over his last eight games, but he's also gone minus-7 in that span. The 30-year-old tallied during a five-minute major power play after Nils Hoglander received a game misconduct for a slew foot. Hertl is up to four goals, 12 points, 45 shots on net, 20 hits, 17 blocked shots and a minus-15 rating through 18 outings while serving as the Sharks' top-line center.

NOVEMBER 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Mackenzie Blackwood - Solid in Monday's loss Blackwood surrendered three goals on 37 shots in Monday's 3-1 loss to the Canucks.

Impact Blackwood took his third straight loss, but he at least kept the Sharks competitive in this one. The Canucks didn't score until 13:07 of the second period, but they added a shorthanded goal late in that frame and an insurance tally in the third. The loss drops Blackwood to 2-9-1 with a 3.94 GAA and a .900 save percentage over 13 appearances. The Sharks wrap up their brief two-game road trip in Seattle on Wednesday.

Matt Benning - Nearing return to action Benning (undisclosed) is close to getting back into the lineup according to coach David Quinn, Max Miller of The Hockey News reports Monday.

Impact Benning played in eight games prior to getting hurt in which he tallied one assist, seven hits and 18 blocks while averaging 18:29 of ice time. Even once cleared to play, Benning is far from a lock to play and could find himself periodically watching from the press box as a healthy scratch. As such, he shouldn't be expected to offer much in the way of fantasy value outside of blocks.

NOVEMBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Jacob MacDonald - Ready to rock MacDonald (undisclosed) will be activated from injured reserve ahead of his return to the lineup Monday against Vancouver, per Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now.

Impact MacDonald is projected to play as a forward in the contest on the fourth line. He has produced one goal, one assist, six shots on net and two blocked shots in two appearances this season.

NOVEMBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Mackenzie Blackwood - Tending twine versus Canucks Blackwood will patrol the crease on the road against Vancouver on Monday, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.

Impact It was a disastrous outing for Blackwood the last time he faced the Canucks, giving up four goals on 14 shots (.714 save percentage) after replacing Kaapo Kahkonen. After a brief turnaround in which he put together back-to-back wins versus the Flyers and Oilers, Blackwood seems to be struggling again, allowing four goals in each of his last two contests. It figures to be a long season for both Blackwood and Kahkonen given the limited supporting cast in San Jose.

Oskar Lindblom - Deemed week-to-week Lindblom (lower body) is considered week-to-week, according to Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now.

Impact Lindblom, who is currently on injured reserve, has been credited with one blocked shot and one hit in one appearance with the Sharks this season. He has one goal and one assist in eight AHL outings this campaign.

NOVEMBER 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Danil Gushchin - Dropped back to minors Gushchin was reassigned to AHL San Jose on Friday, Max Miller of The Hockey News reports.

Impact Gushchin's demotion to the minors is expected to be temporary considering the team doesn't play again until Monday's clash with Vancouver. In his two outings this season, the 21-year-old winger notched one assist, three shots and five blocks. If he does get recalled before the trip to Vancouver, Gushchin should be in line for a top-six role and spot on the power play.

NOVEMBER 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Nico Sturm - Stepping away from team Sturm will miss the next two games as he takes a personal leave of absence, the Sharks announced Friday.

Impact Sturm will not be an option for the team's two-game road trip in which it faces Vancouver and Seattle on Monday and Wednesday, respectively. In his stead, Kevin Labanc should return to the lineup while Ryan Carpenter and Luke Kunin figure to be in contention for a third-line role.

NOVEMBER 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Ryan Carpenter - Picks up pair of helpers Carpenter logged two assists in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Blues.

Impact Carpenter helped out on goals by Givani Smith and Luke Kunin as the Sharks' fourth line made an impact in the second period. Through 10 outings, Carpenter now has three helpers, 10 shots on net, six hits, six blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating. He's been a solid fourth-liner, but that role on a weak team doesn't lead to much fantasy interest.

NOVEMBER 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Filip Zadina - Contributes two assists Zadina notched two assists in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Blues.

Impact Zadina helped out on both of Mike Hoffman's tallies in the contest as the wingers found some chemistry on the third line. This was Zadina's first multi-point effort of the season. The 23-year-old has three goals, two helpers, 23 shots on net and a minus-15 rating over 17 appearances.

NOVEMBER 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

William Eklund - Finds twine in win Eklund scored a goal on a team-high four shots in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Blues.

Impact Eklund started the season slowly, but he's got two goals and two helpers over his last six contests. His tally early in the second period Thursday stood as the game-winner. Eklund is up to three goals, six points, 23 shots on net, 15 blocked shots and a minus-8 rating through 17 appearances. With the bounces going his way, his confidence should increase, especially if he can sustain this recent level of offense for most of the campaign.

NOVEMBER 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Givani Smith - Collects pair of points Smith scored a goal on three shots, dished an assist, added two hits and went plus-2 in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Blues.

Impact Smith has three points on the year, all of which have come over the last two games. His second-period goal was his first as a Shark. The 25-year-old has added 24 shots on net, 22 PIM, 25 hits and a minus-3 rating while playing in a fourth-line role over 15 appearances. Despite his uptick in offense, he's unlikely to sustain his scoring long enough to make an impact in fantasy.

NOVEMBER 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Luke Kunin - Goal, assist in win Kunin scored a goal on three shots, added an assist and went plus-2 in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Blues.

Impact Kunin and Givani Smith set up each other's goals just 46 seconds apart in the second period. This was Kunin's third straight game with a goal, and it was also his first multi-point effort. He did that despite seeing just 11:52 of ice time on the fourth line, his second-lowest mark of the season. The 25-year-old forward has six points, 30 shots on net, 22 hits, 27 PIM, 13 blocked shots and a minus-8 rating through 17 outings.

NOVEMBER 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Mike Hoffman - Pots pair of tallies Hoffman scored two goals on three shots and added two PIM in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Blues.

Impact Hoffman's three goals this season have come over the last two games. His improved play has gotten him back into a middle-six role after a brief drop to the fourth line. The winger is up to four points, 18 shots, 13 blocked shots, eight PIM and a minus-9 rating through 16 contests. If he can find consistency, Hoffman could also earn more power-play time, which would put him on the fringe for standard fantasy formats.
