Sharks' Vincent Desharnais: Picks up assist Tuesday
Desharnais notched an assist and five hits in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Predators.
Desharnais missed one game due to an upper-body injury. The 29-year-old defenseman is back in the lineup in a bottom-four role now, giving him minimal appeal in fantasy. He's earned just six points with 25 shots on net, 77 hits, 68 blocked shots and 60 PIM over 41 outings this season, though that doubles his point total from 51 contests a year ago.

Sharks' Vincent Desharnais: Slated to suit up in Nashville
Desharnais (upper body) is expected to play in Nashville on Tuesday, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.
Desharnais was sidelined against the Flyers on Saturday due to his upper-body injury.

Desharnais (upper body) will not play in Saturday's home contest against the Flyers, per Max Miller of NHL.com.
Desharnais will miss his first contest since his return to the lineup Jan. 19. Across 40 games this season, the 29-year-old blueliner has five points, 60 PIM, 24 shots on net, 72 hits and 67 blocked shots.

Sharks' Vincent Desharnais: Considered game-time decision
Desharnais is considered a game-time decision for Saturday's matchup against the Flyers due to an upper-body injury, Max Miller of NHL.com reports.
Desharnais hasn't missed a game since mid-January, but he's dealing with an upper-body injury and will be evaluated in the hours leading up to Saturday's puck drop before the Sharks determine his status. Across 12 appearances since the Olympic break, he's recorded an assist, 23 hits, 20 PIM and 19 blocked shots while averaging 19:33 of ice time. If the 29-year-old is unable to play Saturday, John Klingberg will likely enter the lineup.

Sharks' Vincent Desharnais: Notches helper in loss
Desharnais recorded an assist, four hits and two PIM in Sunday's 7-4 loss to the Senators.
Desharnais ended a 10-game point drought with the helper. The 29-year-old defenseman continues to fill a third-pairing role with time on the penalty kill. The helper was his fifth point of the season to go with 23 shots on net, 68 hits, 61 blocked shots, 58 PIM and a plus-5 rating over 38 appearances.

Sharks' Vincent Desharnais: Scores in return
Desharnais scored a goal on two shots, added six PIM, doled out six hits and went plus-2 in Monday's 4-1 win over the Panthers.
Desharnais had missed the previous 23 games due to an upper-body injury. The 29-year-old defenseman will likely compete with Vincent Iorio for third-pairing minutes moving forward, as Nick Leddy was waived to clear a spot for Desharnais to return. Through 21 outings, Desharnais has three points, 14 shots on net, 34 hits, 35 blocked shots and 38 PIM, so he has fairly limited appeal unless his offense takes off.

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.

Desharnais (upper body) participated in Sunday's practice and could be an option to return to the lineup Tuesday against Columbus, per Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now.
Desharnais has been sidelined for 17 straight games, as he hasn't been in the lineup since Nov. 26 in Colorado. If Desharnais is given the green light to play Tuesday, he will likely be eased into action in a third-pairing role. The 29-year-old has accounted for two helpers, 28 hits, 34 blocked shots, 32 PIM and a plus-1 rating over 20 outings this season.

Sharks' Vincent Desharnais: Out through Christmas
Desharnais (upper body) will be sidelined through the Christmas break, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports Tuesday.
Desharnais is still considered week-to-week while on injured reserve, so it's possible he will be out even longer than the break. Considering the blueliner hasn't scored a goal since 2023-24 when he was with the Oilers, and has managed just two points this year, few fantasy managers figure to be impacted by his continued absence.

Desharnais (upper body) will miss Saturday's game against Vegas, per Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now.
Desharnais also missed Friday's 3-2 win over Vancouver. Head coach Ryan Warsofsky revealed Saturday that Desharnais has been dealing with this injury "for a little bit." Desharnais is currently considered day-to-day, but the Warsofsky also said he's "gotta get it looked at," which suggests that the 29-year-old defenseman will undergo further evaluation.

Sharks' Vincent Desharnais: Snags helper in loss
Desharnais notched an assist, two blocked shots and 10 PIM in Friday's 6-3 loss to the Mammoth.
This was Desharnais' season debut as he filled in for John Klingberg (lower body) and Shakir Mukhamadullin (undisclosed). With injuries piling up on the Sharks' blue line, Desharnais should get a chance to fill a third-pairing role for a while. He had three assists in 51 regular-season games between the Sharks, Penguins and Canucks last year, so he has minimal upside on offense, but he can bring some physicality.

Desharnais is running out of time to return to the lineup before the end of the 2024-25 campaign, with just three games remaining after Friday's clash. Considering the 28-year-old blueliner hasn't registered a point in 29 consecutive contests, fantasy managers probably aren't too concerned about getting him back into the lineup.
