Top Sharks News

  • Sharks' Carl Grundstrom: Nabs apple Saturday

    Grundstrom notched an assist, two shots on goal, three hits and a minus-2 rating in Saturday's 8-3 loss to the Stars.

    Grundstrom has two points, 13 shots on net and 16 hits over his last four games. The 27-year-old forward continues to fill a fourth-line role, which is unlikely to lead to sustained offense in the long run. He's at seven points, 56 shots on net, 120 hits, 16 PIM and a minus-12 rating over 38 outings this season.

  • Sharks' Ty Dellandrea: Earns helper against old team

    Dellandrea logged an assist, two hits and a minus-2 rating in Saturday's 8-3 loss to the Stars.

    Dellandrea was able to get on the scoresheet against his old team, but the Stars were far stronger on the whole. This was his second game back after missing four contests due to an upper-body injury. The 24-year-old forward is up to six points, 28 shots on net, 102 hits, 31 PIM, 31 blocked shots and a minus-17 rating over 43 outings in a bottom-six role this season.

  • Sharks' Andrew Poturalski: Snags helper in loss

    Poturalski registered an assist and two shots on goal in Saturday's 8-3 loss to the Stars.

    Poturalski earned his first point in three NHL appearances this season. He's added five shots on net and four blocked shots while filling the second-line center role in the absence of Alexander Wennberg (upper body). The helper was Poturalski's first NHL point since the 2021-22 campaign when he had two helpers over two games with the Hurricanes. He's always been a high-scoring forward in the AHL, but it's never really translated in limited usage in the NHL. He'll have to sustain offense over a longer stretch to be a fantasy option, which could be tough in the Sharks' lineup.

  • Sharks' Will Smith: Posts helper in loss

    Smith notched an assist, two blocked shots and two PIM in Saturday's 8-3 loss to the Stars.

    Smith has two goals and six helpers over his last nine outings. The 19-year-old forward set up a Fabian Zetterlund tally in the second period. Smith started slow this season, but he's really settled in as a top-six option for the Sharks. He's at 23 points, 68 shots on net and a minus-9 rating across 49 appearances in his rookie campaign.

  • Sharks' Tyler Toffoli: Deals helper in loss

    Toffoli notched an assist, two shots on goal and three hits in Saturday's 8-3 loss to the Stars.

    Toffoli extended his point streak to five games (three goals, three helpers) when he helped out on William Eklund's opening tally. The 32-year-old Toffoli is fitting right in as a veteran presence alongside younger linemates in Eklund and Macklin Celebrini. For the season, Toffoli has 36 points, 156 shots on net, 34 hits and a minus-19 rating through 54 appearances.

  • Sharks' Macklin Celebrini: Manages helper in loss

    Celebrini notched an assist and three shots on goal in Saturday's 8-3 loss to the Stars.

    Celebrini enters the break for the 4 Nations Face-Off with eight points over his last eight outings. He provided an early assist Saturday, setting up William Eklund's tally just 1:25 into the contest. For the season, Celebrini has 17 goals and 23 assists, making him the second rookie to reach the 40-point mark behind Montreal's Lane Hutson (41), though Celebrini's played in 10 fewer games through Saturday's action. The standout center has added 150 shots on net, 32 blocked shots and a minus-20 rating.

  • Sharks' Walker Duehr: Gets back in goal column

    Duehr scored a goal and went minus-2 in Saturday's 8-3 loss to the Stars.

    This goal was Duehr's first since he scored in his Sharks debut Jan. 23 versus the Predators. The 27-year-old has carved out a fourth-line role since he was claimed off waivers from the Flames, and he's yet to be a healthy scratch with his new team. Duehr has a total of three points, 15 shots on net, 46 hits, 15 blocked shots and a minus-10 rating over 23 appearances this season, a level of offense that's unlikely to help in most fantasy formats.

  • Sharks' Fabian Zetterlund: Bulges twine in loss

    Zetterlund scored a goal on two shots and added five hits in Saturday's 8-3 loss to the Stars.

    Zetterlund ended a four-game point drought with his first-period tally. The winger had been trying lately, racking up 13 shots on net during that slump. The 25-year-old has been an effective power winger in a top-six role this season, posting 15 goals, 33 points, 124 shots on net, 102 hits, 57 blocked shots and a plus-9 rating over 57 appearances.

  • Sharks' William Eklund: Scores in Saturday's loss

    Eklund scored a goal on four shots in Saturday's 8-3 loss to the Stars.

    Eklund snapped a 10-game goal drought with his opening tally 1:25 into the first period. The 22-year-old has gotten on the scoresheet in three straight contests (one goal, two assists). For the season, he's reached the 40-point mark with 11 goals and 29 helpers, and he's added 97 shots on net, 33 blocked shots, 32 hits and a minus-5 rating over 52 appearances.

  • Sharks' Vitek Vanecek: Lit up in loss

    Vanecek allowed eight goals on 34 shots in Saturday's 8-3 loss to the Stars.

    Vanecek isn't fully to blame for this game -- when the score is that lopsided, it's a full-team failure. The 29-year-old looked pretty good in his return from a fractured cheekbone when he took an overtime loss to the Canucks on Thursday, but the Stars humbled him with seven straight goals after the Sharks established a 2-0 lead. The netminder is now 3-9-2 with a 4.01 GAA and an .878 save percentage across 16 appearances. Vanecek and Alexandar Georgiev are likely to split the starts for the Sharks as long as they're the only two netminders at the NHL level, though the distribution of work could become trickier if Yaroslav Askarov receives another call-up.

  • Sharks' Vitek Vanecek: In goal Saturday

    Vanecek will protect the home net against Dallas on Saturday, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

    Vanecek is coming off a 22-save effort in Thursday's 2-1 overtime loss to Vancouver. He has a 3-8-2 record with a 3.70 GAA and an .887 save percentage across 15 NHL appearances this season. Dallas ranks 10th in the league with 3.19 goals per game in 2024-25.

  • Sharks' Klim Kostin: Off injured reserve

    Kostin (lower body) was activated from injured reserve Saturday.

    Kostin was last in the lineup against Utah on Jan. 10. He has a goal, four points, 25 PIM and 82 hits in 26 appearances in 2024-25. Kostin will probably serve in a fourth-line capacity Saturday versus Dallas, and Carl Grundstrom might be a healthy scratch.

  • Sharks' Klim Kostin: Might return ahead of schedule

    Kostin (lower body) might return Saturday versus Dallas, according to Max Miller of NHL.com on Friday.

    Kostin was originally projected to be on the shelf until after the 4 Nations Face-Off, but it seems he might return earlier than expected. He has a goal, four points, 25 PIM and 82 hits in 26 outings in 2024-25. If Kostin plays, it will probably be as part of the fourth line.

  • Sharks' Colin White: Waived Friday

    White was placed on waivers by San Jose on Friday, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.

    White has no points, one shot, two hits and one block in three appearances with the Sharks this season. If he clears waivers, he'll presumably be returned to AHL San Jose. White has five goals and nine points in 20 outings with the minor-league squad in 2024-25.

  • Sharks' William Eklund: Hands out assist in overtime loss

    Eklund logged an assist, three shots on goal and two hits in Thursday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Canucks.

    Eklund has a helper in consecutive contests and five assists over his last 10 outings during his active goal drought. The 22-year-old set up Tyler Toffoli for the game-tying goal late in the third period. Eklund is up to 39 points, 93 shots on net, 32 hits, 33 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating through 51 appearances. He's six points shy of matching his total from 80 games in 2023-24, and he's one assist away from reaching 30 for the first time in his career.

  • Sharks' Tyler Toffoli: Forces overtime Thursday

    Toffoli scored a goal on seven shots in Thursday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Canucks.

    Toffoli has three goals and two assists over his last four outings. His tally Thursday came with 1:28 left in the third period, denying Thatcher Demko a shutout. Toffoli now has 20 goals, 35 points, 154 shots on net and a minus-18 rating over 53 appearances. The winger has reached the 20-goal mark in six straight seasons.

  • Sharks' Vitek Vanecek: Strong showing in overtime loss

    Vanecek stopped 22 of 24 shots in Thursday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Canucks.

    Vanecek kept the Canucks' off the board for over two periods. Macklin Celebrini's two mistakes in the contest -- a delay-of-game minor in the third period and a hooking call that led to a penalty shot in overtime -- resulted in both of Vancouver's goals. Vanecek hadn't played since Dec. 14 or suited up since Dec. 17, when he suffered a fractured cheekbone on the bench during a game against the Jets. Now that he's healthy, he'll push Alexandar Georgiev for playing time, though if both goalies struggle, Yaroslav Askarov could get another look at the NHL level. Vanecek is 3-8-2 with a 3.70 GAA and a .887 save percentage over 15 appearances this season.
