San Jose Sharks defenseman Mario Ferraro (lower body) will sit out the final four regular-season games. He sustained a lower-body injury during Wednesday's loss to the Minnesota Wild. The 26-year-old wraps up his sixth NHL season with 17 points (five goals, 12 assists) in 78 games. Furthermore, he recorded 79 shots, 125 blocks, 150 hits, and a minus-25 rating. San Jose has also lost Shakir Mukhamadullin (upper body) for the season and is missing Vincent Desharnais (upper body) and Jan Rutta (lower body), leaving the team's defense severely depleted.
San Jose Sharks defenseman Mario Ferraro (upper body) will be in the lineup Tuesday versus Detroit. His status was up in the air after Ferraro logged just four minutes of action against Colorado on Sunday, but he's gotten a positive result from an MRI on his ribs and is good to go Tuesday. Ferraro has tallied only nine points (one goal, eight assists), with four coming in two games just before the holiday break, but he's been very valuable in the Sharks defense as a shot-blocking machine. In 37 games this season, Ferraro has blocked 101 shot attempts from the opposition.
San Jose Sharks defenseman Mario Ferraro (foot) will return to action Tuesday against Calgary. He has missed the past 10 games while dealing with a foot injury. Despite missing multiple weeks, Ferraro still ranks fourth on the team with 47 blocks and he's also recorded 27 hits in 24 games. Offensively, it's a different story, as Ferraro doesn't do a lot in the attack and has recorded only five points. Jaycob Megna is forced to make way for Ferraro Tuesday.
San Jose Sharks defenseman Mario Ferraro (undisclosed) was placed on Injured Reserve on Saturday. He logged over 21 minutes of action in Friday's loss to the Kings but it looks like Ferraro also hurt himself in the game. Nick Cicek is expected to replace him in the lineup Sunday versus Vancouver. In Ferraro, the Sharks lose a player who is among the league leaders with 47 blocks. He has also registered 27 hits with five points and 24 shots in 23 games this season. Ferraro's fantasy stock isn't high, but only Erik Karlsson logs more minutes than him on the Sharks squad, so his absence will definitely be felt.
San Jose Sharks defenseman Mario Ferraro (leg) will be sidelined for six to eight weeks after sustaining a fracture in his lower left fibula and having surgery on Sunday. The 23-year-old defenseman sustained the injury in Saturday's loss against the Bruins after a battle for the puck in the second period. Ferraro's return in the regular season remains a possibility due to the fact that the Sharks conclude their schedule on April 29 against the Kraken, which aligns with the timeline of recovery for the young defenseman. Ferraro scored twice and added nine assists through 48 games on the Sharks back end, and he is only worth stashing in the deepest of dynasty formats moving forward.
San Jose Adds Mario Ferraro To COVID Protocol List
San Jose Sharks defenseman Mario Ferraro was added to the COVID protocol list while Jonathan Dahlen was taken off. Ferraro provided an excellent floor in "banger" leagues and daily fantasy with his ability to deliver hits and block shots well. Ferraro was averaging nearly three blocked shots a game and 3.6 hits a contest over his last five appearances. Ferraro even played 26:21 against Arizona and wound up a +2 in the wild 8-7 win. No one is sure if the defenseman is asymptomatic as with the new quarantine, Ferraro could be back by early next week if that is the case. Tonight, however, he sits.
Mario Ferraro Assists Twice En Route To Overtime Win
San Jose Sharks defenseman Mario Ferraro dished out two assists on Monday night in the Sharks' 2-1 victory. The defender played nearly 23 minutes in all and belted out six hits and a couple of scoring chances. Though Ferraro has never been one to pile on a lot of shots, he averages nearly three blocked shots and two hits this season. The other good news is that Ferraro now has eight points in 18 games so far. He is well on his way to eclipsing last year's 17-point output as Ferraro is on a 36-point pace while averaging nearly 25 minutes a night of playing time.
