Vancouver Canucks left wing Kiefer Sherwood tallied three points in their 5-2 victory over the New York Islanders. In the second frame, Sherwood opened the scoring with a tip-in goal. Later in the frame, Sherwood tallied the secondary assist on Aatu Raty's third goal of the campaign. In the final period, Sherwood finished his evening by scoring the empty-netter. During this game, he logged four hits, four shots on goal, and one blocked shot. Over his last six contests entering Wednesday, Sherwood tallied four points (one goal) over his last six contests. However, before this stretch, the 29-year-old tallied just two points (one goal) over his last nine games. Even though Sherwood does not produce consistently on the score sheet, he does have value in deeper category formats, as he has averaged 5.9 hits per game.
According to Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650, Vancouver Canucks left wing Kiefer Sherwood (undisclosed) is viewed as a game-time decision for their contest against the Detroit Red Wings on Sunday evening. Sherwood has been on the injured reserve with an undisclosed injury and has missed their previous four games. Before the injury, Sherwood was held off the scoresheet over his last five contests. Overall, the 29-year-old gas found the back of the net 13 times and added eight helpers across 47 games. He logged 273 hits with 19 blocked shots. If he does return to the starting lineup, fantasy managers should expect Sherwood to have a role in the bottom six. Given his low offensive output, he only carries value in deeper category formats, given his ability to log hits.
Vancouver Canucks winger Kiefer Sherwood (undisclosed) has not joined the team for the start of a three-game road trip. He was injured in Saturday's win over the Washington Capitals and will sit out Monday's contest against the St. Louis Blues. However, Sherwood's absence may be limited to only one game. Vancouver hopes to see him join the team during the trip, which also features stops in Nashville and Dallas next week. Sherwood is stuck in a five-game offensive slump but has enjoyed his first campaign with the Canucks. He boasts a career-high 13 goals and 21 points through 47 outings with a league-high 273 hits.
Kiefer Sherwood Celebrates First Career Hat Trick Against Avalanche
Vancouver Canucks winger Kiefer Sherwood was an unexpected hat-trick hero on Monday versus Colorado, lifting his team to a 3-1 win. The 29-year-old scored all of the game's first three goals to record his first career hat trick. Sherwood's career night included a short-handed goal. The American forward isn't known as a major threat up front, but Sherwood has been chipping in offensively throughout the campaign. He's tied for second on the team with 11 goals and boasts 17 points with 30 games played. Sherwood's physicality adds a lot to his fantasy value, as he leads the league in the category with 184. Nobody else has managed even 130 hits.
Nashville Predators right wing Kiefer Sherwood put in an impressive performance in Friday's season opener against San Jose, grabbing a goal and assist in a 4-1 win. He opened the scoring with just a minute played and helped Nino Niederreiter to score in his Nashville debut late in the second period. Sherwood skated on the second line with Niederreiter and Ryan Johansen. The 27-year-old is not expected to make much noise in fantasy hockey, but he at least looks to be an intriguing DFS option early in the year, as long as he stays among the top six. Sherwood is looking to nail down a full-time spot in the NHL after having a massive 75 points in 57 games last year in the AHL.
