Fabian Zetterlund - Battling lower-body injuryZetterlund is likely to play Friday versus Utah, but he's dealing with a lower-body injury that puts his availability in question, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports Wednesd...

ImpactZetterlund has missed some practices recently due to the injury. He also played through the issue during Tuesday's 4-2 loss to Vegas, per Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News. Zetterlund still registered a power-play assist while logging 20:46 of ice time against the Golden Knights, but perhaps the team will decide to have him rest the injury in the future. The 25-year-old has 11 goals and 27 points in 43 appearances in 2024-25.

Collin Graf - Helpers in consecutive contestsGraf posted a power-play assist, two shots on goal and two blocked shots in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Golden Knights.

ImpactGraf has a helper in each of the last two games, and his assist Tuesday was his first power-play point of the campaign. The 22-year-old winger has immediately stepped into a middle-six role for the Sharks, averaging 13:57 of ice time over three contests. Given the team situation, fantasy managers in redraft formats will want to wait and see if Graf can sustain his hot start to his time in the NHL -- he had 26 points over 29 outings with AHL San Jose, so the scoring touch is evident.

Alex Wennberg - Earns helper with man advantageWennberg notched a power-play assist and went minus-2 in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Golden Knights.

ImpactWennberg has four helpers over his last eight games, and two of them have come on the power play. The 30-year-old center helped out on a William Eklund tally in the second period of this contest. Wennberg is in the middle six at even strength but also routinely sees power-play time. For the season, he has 20 points (eight on the power play), 52 shots on net, 41 blocked shots and a minus-11 rating over 43 appearances. He's short of a 40-point pace, but a strong second half could get him there for the first time since 2016-17.

Fabian Zetterlund - Snags power-play helperZetterlund posted a power-play assist, two blocked shots and two PIM in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Golden Knights.

ImpactZetterlund had been held off the scoresheet over the previous four games, his longest slump of the season. He has four assists over nine outings since his last goal, but he remains in a top-six role. The 25-year-old winger is at 27 points, 87 shots on net, 77 hits, 44 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating through 43 appearances. Zetterlund offers well-rounded production, especially for a winger, but his recent play is a caution to fantasy managers that he may not be consistent over the long haul.

Timothy Liljegren - Deposits power-play goalLiljegren scored a power-play goal in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Golden Knights.

ImpactLiljegren ended a six-game slump with the tally, which was his first goal since Nov. 29. The 25-year-old defenseman was scratched Dec. 19, but he's been in the lineup for the eight games since, so it appears he's regained some security while Shakir Mukhamadullin and Marc-Edouard Vlasic battle for the last spot on the blue line. Liljegren has eight points, 51 shots on net, 39 hits, 42 blocked shots, 18 PIM and a minus-7 rating over 31 appearances between the Sharks and the Maple Leafs in 2024-25.
