Sharks' Cody Ceci: Generates helper
Ceci produced an assist in Monday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Flyers.
Ceci has two helpers and 13 blocked shots over his last six games. The 30-year-old defenseman is filling a top-four role and should continue to block a lot of shots, but he doesn't add much in hits, PIM or plus-minus rating. For the season, Ceci has three helpers, 23 shots on net, 32 blocks, 20 hits and a minus-6 rating over 17 contests.

Sharks' Barclay Goodrow: Pots goal Monday
Goodrow scored a goal on three shots, added five PIM and logged two hits in Monday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Flyers.
The tally was Goodrow's first point since Opening Night versus the Blues. The 31-year-old has played as expected so far, filling a defensive bottom-six role in his second stint with the Sharks. He's at two goals, 22 shots on net, 31 hits, 12 blocked shots, 19 PIM and a minus-5 rating through 17 appearances this season.

Sharks' Jack Thompson: Scores in shootout loss
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.

Sharks' William Eklund: Two helpers against Philly
Eklund collected two assists while adding four hits, one shot and a plus-2 rating in Monday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Flyers.
The 22-year-old helped spark a comeback from a 3-0 deficit by having a hand in tallies by Jack Thompson and Mikael Granlund late in the second period. Eklund snapped a brief three-game point drought with this performance, but over his last 13 contests, the seventh overall pick in the 2021 NHL Entry Draft has racked up an impressive two goals and 10 points.

Sharks' Mikael Granlund: Two points in shootout loss
Granlund notched a goal and an assist in Monday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Flyers.
Both points came in the second period to spark a comeback from a 3-0 deficit. Granlund appears to be headed for a breakout campaign despite the struggles of the team around him, and through the first 17 games of 2024-25, the 32-year-old center has amassed seven goals and 18 points. Granlund has never recorded 200 or more shots in a season, but he's already put 57 pucks on net, putting him on pace to shatter his previous career high of 193 set back in 2017-18.

Sharks' Vitek Vanecek: Falls to Philly in shootout
Vanecek made 40 saves in regulation and overtime and stopped one of three shootout attempts in Monday's 4-3 loss to the Flyers.
The Sharks were staring at a 3-0 deficit early in the second period after Vanecek gave up a breakaway goal to Matvei Michkov, but the veteran netminder kept his focus and gave his team a chance to mount a comeback with some big stops down the stretch -- Philadelphia out-shot San Jose 16-7 in the third period alone. The Sharks' defense remains a problem, and Vanecek has faced 40 or more shots in three of his last five starts, going 2-2-1 during that time with a .912 save percentage but only a 3.33 GAA.

Sharks' Vitek Vanecek: Tending twine Monday
Vanecek will serve as the starting goaltender for Monday's road matchup against Philadelphia, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.
Vanecek has been inconsistent over his last two starts, as he turned aside 49 of 50 shots (.980 save percentage) to earn a win over Columbus at home Tuesday before allowing four goals on 30 shots (.867 save percentage) in a home loss to Minnesota on Thursday. However, he'll be between the pipes for the third time in the Sharks' last four games, and he'll attempt to turn things around against the Flyers, who have averaged just 2.53 goals per game to begin the season.

Sharks' Jake Walman: Unavailable Monday
Walman (upper body) won't play Monday against Philadelphia, per Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now.
Walman is day-to-day and will miss his fourth straight game. His next chance to return will be Thursday versus the Rangers. Walman has one goal, eight assists, 35 shots on net, 22 blocked shots and 16 hits across 13 outings this season.

Sharks' Carl Grundstrom: Provides helper Sunday
Grundstrom notched an assist and two shots on goal in Sunday's 1-0 win over the Devils.
Grundstrom snapped a four-game point drought with the helper on Nico Sturm's tally in the first period. The 26-year-old Grundstrom continues to regularly fill a fourth-line role, keeping Klim Kostin out of the lineup. Grundstrom has earned three assists, 15 shots on net, 40 hits, six PIM and a minus-2 rating over 14 contests. His limited offense means he's not a factor for most fantasy formats.

Sharks' Henry Thrun: Logs helper in win
Thrun posted an assist and four blocked shots in Sunday's 1-0 win over the Devils.
Thrun has three helpers over his last two games. He's been rewarded for his strong effort -- the 23-year-old was moved up to the top pairing and saw a season-high 22:48 of ice time in Sunday's win. The blueliner has four helpers, 11 shots on net, 11 PIM, 12 hits, 25 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating through 15 contests. He could continue to see a larger role until Jake Walman (upper body) returns.

Sharks' Nico Sturm: Scores lone goal in win
Sturm scored a goal in Sunday's 1-0 win over the Devils.
Sturm's tally at 16:21 of the first period was the only goal of the game. He's scored twice over four contests in November, though steady offense isn't typically a strong suit for the 29-year-old. Sturm has three goals, two assists, 14 shots on net, 21 hits and a minus-4 rating through 16 appearances in a bottom-six role this season.

Sharks' Mackenzie Blackwood: Shuts out former team
Blackwood posted a 44-save shutout in Sunday's 1-0 win over the Devils.
This was Blackwood's first start back in New Jersey since he was traded to San Jose prior to last season. He's yet to give up a goal to his former club -- he exited a start versus the Devils in February due to injury, stopping 13 shots before he was forced from that game. Blackwood is now 3-4-2 this season with a 3.10 GAA and a .910 save percentage. His shutout Sunday was the 11th of his career and first in 2024-25. Vitek Vanecek will likely get the nod for Monday's game versus the Flyers.

Sharks' Jake Walman: Won't play Sunday
Walman (upper body) won't suit up for Sunday's contest against the Devils, according to Max Miller of NHL.com.
Walman will miss his second straight game due to the injury. The left-shot blueliner skated with the team Sunday morning, so he could suit up in the second half of a back-to-back versus the Flyers on Monday. Jack Thompson will replace Walman in the lineup Sunday, and Henry Thrun will slide up to the top defense pair alongside Cody Ceci.

Sharks' Jake Walman: Game-time decision
Walman (upper body) will be a game-time decision Sunday versus the Devils, according to Max Miller of NHL.com.
San Jose may dress seven defenders and 11 forwards against New Jersey. Walman was on the top pairing and worked on the second power-play unit during Sunday's morning skate, both positive signs for a potential return from a two-game absence. He has registered one goal, eight assists, 35 shots on net, 22 blocked shots and 16 hits across 13 appearances this season.

Sharks' Mackenzie Blackwood: First off Sunday
Blackwood was the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate, per Max Miller of NHL.com, indicating he will defend the road net Sunday versus New Jersey.
Blackwood is coming off a 25-save effort in a 3-2 loss to Vancouver on Nov. 2. He has a 2-4-2 record with a 3.52 GAA and an .894 save percentage through eight appearances this season. New Jersey has won three straight games, including a 4-3 overtime victory over the Islanders on Saturday.

Sharks' Jake Walman: Traveling with team
Walman (upper body) will join the Sharks for their upcoming four-game road trip, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports Thursday.
Walman has missed two games due to team suspension and upper-body injury but appears to be trending in the right direction. Once the 28-year-old defenseman is cleared to play, he should immediately retake his spot on the blue line in addition to seeing power-play opportunities. Barring a long-term injury, the Toronto native should be capable of easily surpassing his previous career high of 21 points set last year.
