Sharks' Jack Thompson: Ruled out Monday
Rotowire
Thompson (upper body) will be sidelined against Vancouver on Monday, Max Miller of NHL.com reports.
Thompson is currently stuck in a five-game goal drought, during which he has managed just two helpers, three shots and 15 blocks while averaging 16:40 of ice time. With the Sharks' season ending against Edmonton on Wednesday, there is little reason to rush the 23-year-old defenseman back into the lineup.

Sharks' Jack Thompson: Suffers injury in Calgary
Rotowire
Thompson suffered an upper-body injury Sunday in a 5-2 loss to the Flames, per Max Miller of NHL.com.
Head coach Ryan Warsofsky did not have a postgame update on the severity of Thompson's injury. Sunday was the first game of a back-to-back set for San Jose, so Thompson's availability for Monday's divisional matchup against the Canucks is up in the air. There hasn't been much information with respect to the status of Vincent Desharnais (upper body), so if he and Thompson are unable to suit up Monday, the Sharks will have to bring up a blueliner from AHL San Jose under emergency conditions.
Thompson notched two assists and four blocked shots in Wednesday's 8-7 overtime loss to the Wild.
Thompson has four points, seven shots on net and 11 blocked shots over five outings in April. The defenseman has been able to carve out steady playing time due to multiple injury absences on the Sharks' blue line. For the season, he's up to 10 points, 40 shots on net, 47 blocks and a minus-7 rating across 29 appearances. Thompson regularly sees power-play time when he's in the lineup, giving him some appeal as a streaming option in deep fantasy formats.

Sharks' Jack Thompson: Draws assist Tuesday
Rotowire
Thompson recorded an assist and two shots on goal in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Ducks.
Thompson's return to the NHL saw him get on the scoresheet for the first time since March 3. The 23-year-old is up with the big club due to numerous injuries on defense. He could stick around for a while as well, as Shakir Mukhamadullin (upper body) joined Henry Thrun (upper body), Vincent Desharnais (upper body) and Jimmy Schuldt (undisclosed) in the medical bay. Thompson has provided a little upside with seven points and 35 shots on net over 25 appearances, though he also sports a minus-6 rating.

Thompson has collected three goals, six points, 33 shots on net and 36 blocked shots across 24 NHL outings this season. The Sharks returned Luca Cagnoni to the minors in a corresponding move. Thompson is a good bet to play against Anaheim on Tuesday because of injuries to Henry Thrun (upper body), Vincent Desharnais (upper body) and Jimmy Schuldt (undisclosed).

Sharks' Jack Thompson: Heads to minors
Rotowire
Thompson was reassigned to AHL San Jose on Friday, per Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News.
Thompson has three goals and six points in 24 appearances with the Sharks in 2024-25. Players need to be on an AHL roster by 3:00 p.m. ET on Friday in order to be eligible to be sent to the minors at any point for the remainder of the campaign, so Thompson's demotion might simply be a paper transaction to maintain that eligibility.

Sharks' Jack Thompson: Scores in OT win Monday
Rotowire
Thompson scored a goal in Monday's 3-2 shootout win over the Maple Leafs.
Thompson scored a goal for the first time since Nov. 11, and the Sharks have won two of the three games in which he's found the back of the net this season. That said, he has only six points in 22 games and is unlikely to play a significant role going forward, nor does he have a lot of fantasy upside, due to his role in the lineup.

Rotowire
Thompson scored a goal in Monday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Flyers.
Thompson has two goals over his last four games. The 22-year-old defenseman has clear scoring upside, but the Sharks are taking a careful approach with his minutes so far -- he's averaging 16:34 of ice time per game over 10 appearances. He's collected five points, 10 shots on net, 16 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating, and he may sit out occasionally once Jake Walman (upper body) is healthy.

Rotowire
Thompson scored a goal and blocked two shots in Tuesday's 2-1 overtime win over the Blue Jackets.
Thompson had been scratched in two of the previous four games, but he took the spot of Jake Walman in the lineup Tuesday. The 22-year-old Thompson's goal was the first of his career to go with three assists over seven appearances this season. He has some scoring upside, especially as part of the Sharks' power-play mix on the blue line. The blueliner has added eight shots on net, 12 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating in a bottom-four role at even strength.

Sharks' Jack Thompson: Registers pair of assists
Rotowire
Thompson had two power-play assists, three blocked shots and a minus-2 rating in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Kings.
Thompson's usage is starting to get interesting -- he is on the Sharks' top power-play unit, and while he was listed on the third pairing Thursday, he led the team's blueliners with 20:34 of ice time. Thompson has three assists, four shots on net, seven blocked shots, two hits and a minus-2 rating over three outings this season. Even if he serves as a power-play specialist, Thompson will have appeal in deeper fantasy formats, especially those where an ugly plus-minus rating is not a concern.
