Shakir Mukhamadullin Fantasy Stats

San Jose Sharks defenseman Shakir Mukhamadullin (upper body) landed on Injured Reserve Sunday. The 23-year-old hasn't played since San Jose's season opener on Oct. 9, and it looks like it might take a while until Mukhamadullin is ready for action. Mukhamadullin had two assists in his lone appearance this season. By placing Mukhamadullin on Injured Reserve, the Sharks were able to recall Luca Cagnoni from the minors. Cagnoni has starred in the AHL and could now get a big opportunity on the Sharks defense, as John Klingberg (lower body) and Timothy Liljegren are also troubled by health issues.

San Jose Sharks defenseman Shakir Mukhamadullin (shoulder) participated in Monday's informal skate, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports. Mukhamadullin missed the end of last season due to a shoulder injury. He finished the campaign with 30 appearances, notching nine points (two goals, seven assists) and blocking 51 shots. The 23-year-old appears to be on track to be healthy for the start of the season. This could be an important year for Shakir Mukhamadullin, as he is projected to become a regular in the Sharks lineup.

San Jose Sharks defenseman Shakir Mukhamadullin (shoulder) has secured a new one-year deal from the team, signing an extension worth $1 million. The 23-year-old, who underwent shoulder surgery in April, is coming off a season during which he made 30 appearances with the Sharks. Mukhamadullin showcased two-way potential by recording nine points (two goals, seven assists) with 51 blocks and 25 hits. We are likely to see much more of Mukhamadullin next season, as the Sharks remain in rebuild mode and will continue to give younger players opportunities.

San Jose Sharks defenseman Shakir Mukhamadullin (upper body) has been ruled out for the remainder of the season. He sustained an upper-body injury last week and will be unavailable for a third consecutive game when the Sharks host the Calgary Flames on Monday night. The 23-year-old Russian concludes his campaign with nine points (two goals, seven assists) in 30 appearances. He also registered 30 shots on goal, 51 blocks, and 25 hits while averaging 18:04 of ice time. Mukhamadullin's exit from the lineup has coincided with Henry Thrun's return.

San Jose Sharks defenseman Shakir Mukhamadullin (upper body) will be sidelined for Saturday's contest against the Seattle Kraken. Furthermore, he is considered doubtful for Monday's matchup against the Calgary Flames. Mukhamadullin sustained an upper-body injury during Tuesday's loss to the Anaheim Ducks. The 23-year-old Russian scored a goal in that game, though he is not primarily known for his offensive contributions. In 30 appearances this season, Mukhamadullin has accumulated nine points (two goals, seven assists). His tally also includes 51 blocks and 25 hits. Henry Thrun, who returned from an upper-body injury on Thursday against the Edmonton Oilers, has taken Mukhamadullin's place in the lineup. Thrun has no fantasy value and recorded an empty stat line in Thursday's game, despite logging nearly 20 minutes of ice time.

The San Jose Sharks have reassigned rookie defenseman Shakir Mukhamadullin to the American Hockey League's San Jose Barracuda. The move was expected as the Sharks enter the All-Star break and subsequent bye week and will not be back in action until Feb. 14 versus the Winnipeg Jets. The move gives the 22-year-old an opportunity to keep playing and developing in his first full season in North America. The Russian blueliner has appeared in just three games with the Sharks this season, registering an assist and four penalty minutes in that time. He has produced five goals and 26 points across 39 games with the Barracuda after he notched one goal and 10 points across 12 games with them last season following the conclusion of his KHL season in Russia. San Jose sits 31st in the NHL with a 14-32-5 record entering the break and will have a decent shot at the No. 1 overall pick in 2024 as a result.

San Jose Sharks defenseman Shakir Mukhamadullin is likely to begin the season with the San Jose Barracuda, as per head coach David Quinn. Quinn noted he would like to see the 2020 first-rounder play with more confidence while playing bigger minutes with the club's farm team. Acquired last season in the trade that sent 40-goal scorer Timo Meier to the New Jersey Devils, Mukhamadullin notched six goals and 25 points with Ufa Salavat Yulayev of the KHL in his native Russia before coming overseas to tally one goal and 10 points across 12 games with the Barracuda. The 21-year-old could very well see a role with the Sharks sooner than later considering his professional seasoning in the KHL, the second-best professional hockey league in the world.
