John Klingberg to Sit Out at Least Three More Games

San Jose Sharks defenseman John Klingberg (lower body) won't be available this week, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports. The Swedish veteran sustained a lower-body injury on Dec. 31 against the Minnesota Wild and wasn't in the lineup for Saturday's loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning. Due to the injury, Klingberg is set to miss at least three more games. Dmitry Orlov and Timothy Liljegren see more power-play time with Klingberg out. Further changes in the backline might be coming this week after Shakir Mukhamadullin (upper body) was hurt against Tampa Bay.

Alexander Wennberg Lands Three-Year Extension

San Jose Sharks center Alexander Wennberg extended his contract on Sunday, earning a three-year, $18 million deal. Right now, he is in the midst of Year 2 on a two-year, $10 million contract. The Swedish veteran has been a good pickup for San Jose, recording 61 points (17 goals, 44 assists) in 118 appearances with the team. This season, Wennberg is tied for second on the roster with 19 assists and has added seven goals in 41 games. After an impressive 13-point month in December, Wennberg opened January with a scoreless performance in Saturday's 7-3 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning.

John Klingberg Doubtful to Play Saturday

San Jose Sharks defenseman John Klingberg (lower body) is considered doubtful for Saturday's contest against the Tampa Bay Lightning. He has been ever-present in the lineup since late November but might have to skip the first game of 2026 due to a lower-body injury. After a couple of very tough years, Klingberg has been a decent contributor for the Sharks, posting 16 points (nine goals, seven assists) in 31 games. He's on track to finish with a positive plus/minus for the first time since 2018-19. Timothy Liljegren (upper body) is on the cusp of returning to the lineup and looks to be a likely replacement for Klingberg on Saturday.

Shakir Mukhamadullin Questionable Wednesday

San Jose Sharks defenseman Shakir Mukhamadullin (lower body) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup against the Minnesota Wild, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports. He missed Tuesday's practice due to a lower-body injury, and Mukhamadullin's absence from the lineup would be another injury blow for the Sharks. The defense will remain without Timothy Liljegren (upper body) on Wednesday, while several forwards are also out. Mukhamadullin averages one block per game and has tallied six points (two goals) in 21 outings this season. Nick Leddy is set to fill in for him on Wednesday if Mukhamadullin can't play.

Adam Gaudette Unavailable Wednesday

San Jose Sharks forward Adam Gaudette (lower body) will miss Wednesday's clash against the Minnesota Wild, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports. He is considered day-to-day with a lower-body injury. The team has brought up Pavol Regenda from the minors as Gaudette's likely replacement in the lineup. Although Gaudette hasn't been a factor in fantasy hockey, he has played well as a bottom-six forward for the Sharks, recording 14 points (eight goals, six assists) and 32 hits in 33 games. The 29-year-old has contributed offensively in each of his last three appearances. Regenda has seen action in two NHL contests this season, scoring a power-play goal in both.

Macklin Celebrini Remains Hot Against Ducks

San Jose Sharks center Macklin Celebrini led his team to a 5-4 victory over the Anaheim Ducks on Monday night, finishing the contest with one goal and two assists. The 19-year-old became the youngest player in franchise history to hold an eight-game point streak. He has scored in each of the last three games, amassing 17 points (six goals, 11 assists) in total during the streak. We haven't even reached the halfway point of the season, yet Celebrini is already just three points shy of his scoring total from last year. The uber-talented sophomore has posted 21 goals and 39 assists in 39 outings.

Collin Graf • RW • Sharks

Collin Graf Available Against Golden Knights

San Jose Sharks right wing Collin Graf (face) will be in the lineup on Tuesday against the Vegas Golden Knights. He will play despite taking a puck to the face at Monday's practice and leaving the session early. The 23-year-old has had a couple of great weeks, posting nine points (six goals, three assists) in eight games. He has scored in back-to-back games while skating with Macklin Celebrini and Igor Chernyshov on the top line. Additionally, Graf has been part of the second power-play unit. In total, he has notched 19 points (nine goals, 10 assists) in 35 outings. Another goal on Tuesday would give Graf a second three-game goal streak this month.

Timothy Liljegren • D • Sharks

Timothy Liljegren to Miss Second Straight Game Tuesday

San Jose Sharks defenseman Timothy Liljegren (upper body) won't play on Tuesday against the Vegas Golden Knights, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports. The Swedish blue-liner suffered an upper-body injury during the morning skate ahead of Saturday's matchup against the Seattle Kraken. San Jose plans to re-evaluate Liljegren after Christmas. Liljegren is an important piece in the backline for the Sharks, averaging over 20 minutes of ice time. However, his fantasy stock is at an all-time low, as Liljegren has managed only four assists in 28 games and has no goals. Defensively, the 26-year-old has contributed 63 blocks and 25 hits.

Will Smith • C • Sharks

Will Smith Out Week-to-Week

San Jose Sharks forward Will Smith (upper body) is week-to-week, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports. "We're gonna re-evaluate him in the New Year," Sharks head coach Ryan Warsofsky said. "He's making steps daily to getting better. So that's the big positive." San Jose has four games to go until the calendar flips. Smith has had a highly productive sophomore campaign, posting 29 points (12 goals, 17 assists) in 33 appearances. He has already missed the last three games. The Sharks are also missing Philipp Kurashev (upper body) and could be without Collin Graf (face) after he was struck by a puck at Monday's practice. The injury issues have allowed Graf and Igor Chernyshov to move up to the first line. Should Graf also be unavailable, Jeff Skinner may have a rare chance to play in the top six on Tuesday night against the Vegas Golden Knights.

Timothy Liljegren Misses Saturday's Game

San Jose Sharks defenseman Timothy Liljegren (upper body) will miss Saturday's contest against the Seattle Kraken. He will be absent for a second time in four games after sustaining an upper-body injury during the morning skate. Liljegren has had a limited offensive role with the Sharks, recording zero goals and four assists in 28 contests this season. However, his presence will be missed in the defensive zone, as Liljegren sits second on the team with 63 blocks. The Swedish blue-liner will be replaced in the lineup by Vincent Iorio, who will make his 12th appearance of the season. He also hasn't scored a goal this season, logging one assist, 14 blocks, and nine hits.

Macklin Celebrini Notches Four Points in Tuesday's Win

San Jose Sharks center Macklin Celebrini became the third player this season to reach 50 points for the campaign, totaling four points in a 6-3 victory over the Calgary Flames on Tuesday night. He had two goals and two assists, scoring a spectacular spin-o-rama goal as the game-winning marker. Celebrini became the third teenager in NHL history to reach 50 points during a season in 34 or fewer games and hit the plateau three games faster than any other player in franchise history. After an impressive start to the season, Celebrini has found a way to elevate his game further in December, going for 14 points (four goals, 10 assists) in eight games. He has already recorded four games with three-plus points this month. San Jose's teenage sensation will have three more games before Christmas, entering the stretch with 51 points (18 goals, 33 assists) in the bag.

Sharks Place Will Smith on Injured Reserve

San Jose Sharks forward Will Smith (undisclosed) was placed on Injured Reserve on Monday, along with fellow forward Philipp Kurashev (upper body). Both players were hurt during Saturday's win over the Pittsburgh Penguins. Losing Smith is a bigger blow for the Sharks, as the 20-year-old has been the team's second-highest scorer in 2025-26. Across 33 outings, Smith has produced 12 goals and 29 points. Smith and Kurashev skated alongside teenage phenom Macklin Celebrini on the top line against Pittsburgh. With both sidelined, players such as William Eklund and Jeff Skinner may now have an opportunity to step into the top six.

Will Smith Hurt in Saturday's Victory

San Jose Sharks forward Will Smith (undisclosed) made an early exit against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Saturday. San Jose also lost Philipp Kurashev (upper body) during the contest but still produced a spectacular comeback, winning 6-5 in overtime after trailing 5-1. Smith has struggled to make an impact in recent games, but he has had a great sophomore campaign overall. In 33 outings, Smith has contributed 12 goals and 17 assists. San Jose is carrying Zack Ostapchuk as an extra forward, but the team may need to call up a player from the minors if both Smith and Kurashev are unavailable on Tuesday night against the Calgary Flames.

Macklin Celebrini Bags Three Points in Impressive Road Victory

San Jose Sharks center Macklin Celebrini recorded a goal and two assists in Sunday's 4-1 road win over the Carolina Hurricanes. He set up Collin Graf and John Klingberg for a pair of goals before capping off the scoring with an empty-net goal. Celebrini ended a brief two-game point drought on Sunday. The 19-year-old is having a sensational campaign and is currently on pace for a franchise-record 118 points. In 30 outings, Celebrini has totaled 15 goals and 28 assists. He already has two three-point efforts this month and will look to start building another point streak on Tuesday night against the Philadelphia Flyers.

Jeff Skinner Remains Sidelined Wednesday

San Jose Sharks left wing Jeff Skinner (lower body) will remain out on Wednesday against the Washington Capitals. The veteran has logged a couple of practice sessions this week, but the team doesn't want to rush him back. Skinner has been out of action since Nov. 13, missing nine games. He has tallied seven points (four goals, three assists) across 17 outings this season. After Wednesday night, San Jose has two more games scheduled for this week, and it appears likely that Skinner will return to the lineup for one of the contests. Ryan Warsofsky's team will face Dallas on Friday and Carolina on Sunday.

Alexander Wennberg • C • Sharks

Alexander Wennberg a Game-Time Call Wednesday

San Jose Sharks center Alexander Wennberg (upper body) has been labeled as a game-time decision for Wednesday's contest against the Washington Capitals, Max Miller of NHL.com reports. Wennberg centers the second line and the first power-play unit for the Sharks, averaging close to 21 minutes of ice time. He has posted 13 points (five goals, eight assists) in 27 games. Losing Wennberg would be a tough blow for San Jose, but the team could have Jeff Skinner (lower body) and Michael Misa (lower body) available again. If neither player is cleared for action, Zack Ostapchuk will likely replace Wennberg in the lineup.

Adam Gaudette • C • Sharks

Adam Gaudette Iffy for Monday

San Jose Sharks forward Adam Gaudette (illness) is considered questionable for Monday's matchup against the Utah Mammoth. He is battling an illness and could join fellow forwards Michael Misa (lower body) and Jeff Skinner (lower body) on the sidelines. Gaudette is tied for fourth on his squad with six goals and has managed eight points in 22 games. He had points in back-to-back games to wrap up November. Collin Graf or Philipp Kurashev could move to the second line if Gaudette is ruled out on Monday. Kurashev has been a more productive player of the two and is a better fantasy option.

Macklin Celebrini Makes History During Multi-Point Performance

San Joe Sharks center Macklin Celebrini led his team to a 3-1 victory over the Boston Bruins on Sunday night, tallying a goal and an assist. Celebrini passed Patrick Marleau (6) for the most game-winning goals by a Sharks teenager when he lit the lamp on the power play in the second period. The 19-year-old now also holds the franchise record for most five-game point streaks by a teenager (3). This month, Celebrini has finished a game without a point only two times, racking up eight goals and nine assists in 12 outings. The young Sharks star continues to be one of the league's most productive players, with only Colorado's Nathan MacKinnon having more points than him. Celebrini has amassed 34 points (14 goals, 20 assists) in 23 games.

Former MVP Nathan MacKinnon (33) is currently the only player in the league with more points than Celebrini (30).
