Sharks' Yaroslav Askarov: Falls to Wings
Askarov turned aside 21 of 24 shots in Friday's 4-2 loss to Detroit, with the Red Wings' final goal getting scored into an empty net.
The Sharks actually grabbed a 2-1 lead early in the second period, but Askarov couldn't make it stick. The 23-year-old netminder hasn't allowed fewer than three goals in a start since late November, and over his last 14 outings he's gone 7-6-0 with a rough 4.27 GAA and .866 save percentage.

Sharks' Carson Wetsch: Posts three-point game for Rockets
Wetsch scored two goals and added an assist in WHL Kelowna's 5-2 win over Calgary on Friday.
Wetsch was with the Hitmen for the previous three campaigns, and he showed out against his former team. He's up to 15 goals, 30 helpers and a plus-7 rating across 37 appearances for the Rockets this season. The Sharks prospect is just seven points shy of matching his 68-game output (52 points) from the 2024-25 regular season.

Sharks' Joey Muldowney: Scores twice Friday
Muldowney scored two goals in UConn's 4-1 win over the University of Vermont on Friday.
Muldowney has a pair of two-goal games over the last weekend. He's up to 11 tallies, seven helpers and a plus-11 rating through 18 appearances this season. The Sharks prospect, a sixth-round pick from 2022, is on a point-per-game pace, but that puts him behind his 29-goal, 47-point production from 39 contests in 2024-25.

Sharks' Yaroslav Askarov: Tending twine in Detroit
Askarov will defend the road crease against Detroit on Friday, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.
Askarov and Alex Nedeljkovic have alternated starts over the past week and a half, and that trend will continue in Friday's matchup. Askarov struggled during his home start against the Golden Knights on Sunday, allowing six goals on 31 shots (.806 save percentage) in a 7-2 loss.

Sharks' Will Smith: Ready to rock
Smith (upper body) will return to the lineup in Detroit on Friday, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.
Smith missed 13 games with the injury. The fourth pick in the 2023 NHL Draft, Smith has 12 goals and 17 assists in 33 games, establishing himself as a future star with the Sharks. He should line up on one of the top-two lines Friday and could return to his spot alongside Macklin Celebrini, giving Smith plenty of fantasy value.

Sharks' Alex Nedeljkovic: Third straight win
Nedeljkovic made 21 saves in a 3-2 win over Washington on Thursday.
It was Ned's third consecutive win. He's 8-8-2 with a 3.06 GAA and .891 save percentage in 17 starts (21 appearances). Nedeljkovic is the clear number two in San Jose, but he has been alternating with Yaroslav Askarov since the calendar flipped to 2026. He's worth a pick-up given his current success, especially in daily leagues.

Sharks' Zack Ostapchuk: Third goal in last eight games
Ostapchuk scored a goal Thursday in a 3-2 win over the Capitals. He also laid down four hits.
Ostapchuk is a guy who makes a bigger impact in the hit category than anything else, but he has sniped three times in his last eight games. Overall, he has three goals, one assist and 63 hits in 24 games this season. Ostapchuk is averaging under 10 minutes a game while centering the Sharks' fourth line.

Sharks' Collin Graf: Three-game, four-point streak
Graf had a goal and an assist in a 3-2 win over the Capitals on Thursday.
Graf is on a modest three-game, four-point scoring streak that includes two goals. He has five shots in that span. Graf has shown he can score on Macklin Celebrini's flank. There are many reasons to scoop guys up and producing alongside the NHL's third-best scorer is as good as any. Graf has 13 goals and 13 assists in 46 games this season.

Sharks' Pavol Regenda: Two points in win
Regenda had a goal and an assist in a 3-2 win over Washington on Thursday.
Regenda's goal stood as the winner. It was his first NHL game-winning goal. The undrafted winger has seven goals, one assist and 23 shots in nine games this season. Regenda's success Thursday came while skating with Macklin Celebrini and Collin Graf. He's a must-add if he becomes a regular fixture with Celebrini, the NHL's third-best scorer.

Sharks' Ty Dellandrea: On injured reserve
Dellandrea (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Thursday, per Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News.
Dellandrea was already considered week-to-week, so his move to IR isn't a surprise. The 25-year-old has two goals and 11 points in 42 appearances in 2025-26. The Sharks now have a roster spot open if they wish to activate Will Smith (upper body) off IR. Smith is expected to miss Thursday's game against Washington, but he might be an option Friday versus Detroit.

Sharks' Will Smith: Not playing Thursday
Head coach Ryan Warsofsky said that Smith (upper body) will not play Thursday in Washington, but he remains a possibility to play Friday in Detroit, per Tom Gulitti of NHL.com.
Smith will miss his 13th consecutive game after he was injured Dec. 13 in Pittsburgh. Smith has 12 goals and 29 points in 33 games and could see action alongside Macklin Celebrini upon his return.

Sharks' Alex Nedeljkovic: Facing Capitals
Nedeljkovic will patrol the visiting crease in Washington on Thursday, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.
Nedeljkovic will attempt to win his third straight game after victories over Dallas and Columbus. He is 7-8-2 with a 3.12 GAA and an .890 save percentage over 20 appearances this season. Nedeljkovic will have a tough matchup, as the Capitals are tied for eighth in NHL scoring, generating 3.26 goals per game.

Sharks' Will Smith: Considered day-to-day
Head coach Ryan Warsofsky said Monday that Smith (upper body) is considered day-to-day, Max Miller of NHL.com reports.
Warsofsky already indicated Sunday that Smith would travel with the Sharks ahead of their upcoming four-game road trip, which begins Thursday in Washington and runs through Jan. 20 in Tampa Bay. Smith's status for Thursday's matchup against the Capitals remains uncertain, but he's shed his non-contact jersey in practice, which Warsofsky said was the next step in the 20-year-old's recovery process.

Sharks' Vincent Desharnais: Set to travel with team
Head coach Ryan Warsofsky said Monday that Desharnais (upper body) is expected to travel with the Sharks ahead of their upcoming four-game road trip, Max Miller of NHL.com reports.
Desharnais has been sidelined since late November due to his upper-body injury, but he returned to practice Jan. 4 and appears to be closing in on a return to game action. The Sharks' road trip runs from Thursday in Washington through Jan. 20 in Tampa Bay, and while it's not yet clear exactly when Desharnais will return, it seems likely that he'll be an option for the team sometime during the next week.

Sharks' Shakir Mukhamadullin: Joining team on trip
Mukhamadullin (upper body) will be with the Sharks for their four-game road trip, Max Miller of NHL.com reports Monday.
Mukhamadullin has missed San Jose's last four contests but looks close to getting back into the lineup. If the 24-year-old does get activated off injured reserve for Thursday's matchup with Washington, it will likely come at the expense of Sam Dickinson or Vincent Iorio.

Sharks' Philipp Kurashev: Not traveling with team
Kurashev (upper body) won't be with the Sharks when they leave for a four-game road trip, Max Miller of NHL.com reports, though he could join up later if cleared.
Kurashev has been out of action since getting hurt Dec. 13 versus the Penguins, a stretch of 12 games on injured reserve. Prior to getting hurt, the winger was mired in a 12-game goal drought, during which he generated a mere 11 shots to go with three helpers.
