  • Sharks' Alexander Wennberg: Pockets helper in win

    Wennberg provided an assist in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Blackhawks.

    Wennberg is continuing to make an impact as a set-up man, earning eight assists over his last eight contests. He delivered a primary helper on the first of Collin Graf's two tallies in Thursday's win. For the season, Wennberg is up to 31 points, 64 shots on net, 58 blocked shots and a minus-13 rating over 62 appearances. He saw some limited minutes at times earlier in the campaign, but he's firmly in the top six following the Sharks' numerous trades leading up to last Friday's deadline.

  • Sharks' Alexander Wennberg: Continues playmaking surge

    Wennberg notched a power-play assist and two shots on goal in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Islanders.

    Wennberg is up to seven assists over his last six games. Two of those helpers have come on the power play, and he also has a plus-4 rating in that span. For the season, Wennberg is at eight goals, 30 points, 64 shots on net, 58 blocked shots and a minus-14 rating through 60 appearances. He's a reliable defensive center, and his contributions on offense are frequently heavy to the playmaking side of the spectrum -- he finished with more goals than assists just once in his first 10 NHL campaigns, and he won't buck that trend this year.

  • Sharks' Alexander Wennberg: Plucks apple in loss

    Wennberg produced an assist in Thursday's 7-3 loss to the Avalanche.

    Wennberg has been playing in his usual style lately, earning six assists with a plus-4 rating over his last five contests. The 30-year-old has ascended to a top-line role recently, though the Sharks' first and second lines are functionally interchangeable. Wennberg is leading the more veteran trio with William Eklund and Tyler Toffoli, while Macklin Celebrini has been between Fabian Zetterlund and Will Smith. Wennberg is up to 29 points, 62 shots on net, 58 blocked shots and a minus-14 rating over 59 appearances this season. He's one point shy of reaching 30 for the fourth year in a row and the seventh time in his career.

  • Sharks' Alexander Wennberg: Credited with two assists

    Wennberg recorded two assists in Monday's 3-2 shootout win over the Maple Leafs.

    Wennberg didn't find the back of the net in this one, but there's no question he thrived in a playmaking role after participating in the build-up of the team's two third-period goals. This two-helper outing extended his point streak to three games, a span in which he's recorded five assists, three shots on goal and three blocked shots.

  • Sharks' Alexander Wennberg: Two helpers against Habs

    Wennberg pocketed two assists in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Canadiens.

    The veteran center recorded his first points in three games since play resumed after the 4 Nations Face-Off. Wennberg hadn't produced a multi-point performance since Nov. 21, and on the season he's managed eight goals and 25 points in 55 appearances. If 19-year-old linemate Will Smith keeps heating up though, Wennberg could be positioned to take advantage.

  • Sharks' Alexander Wennberg: Expected to return Sunday

    Wennberg (upper body) will be good to return Sunday versus Calgary, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports Wednesday.

    Wennberg has eight goals and 23 points over 52 appearances in 2024-25. He missed the Sharks' previous four games due to the injury. Walker Duehr is projected to be a healthy scratch against the Flames after playing in the Sharks' past seven games.

  • Sharks' Alexander Wennberg: Has chance to play Sunday

    Wennberg (upper body) has "one more hurdle to cover" but is likely to play Sunday versus the Flames, Max Miller of NHL.com reports.

    Wennberg's recovery has him on track to return shortly -- he has already missed four games. The 30-year-old's status should be updated again in the coming days once he is officially cleared. Wennberg's return should help replenish the Sharks' center depth after they traded Mikael Granlund to the Stars on Feb. 1.

  • Sharks' Alexander Wennberg: Won't return before break

    Wennberg (upper body) is not expected back prior to the 4 Nations Face-Off, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports Wednesday.

    Wennberg has already missed two games due to his upper-body issue and now will be on the shelf for at least two more. Prior to his absence, the 30-year-old center was stuck in a 19-game goal drought during which he notched seven assists, 13 shots and 16 blocks while averaging 17:32 of ice time.

  • Sharks' Alexander Wennberg: Probably won't play Tuesday

    Wennberg (upper body) is doubtful for Tuesday's game against Montreal, per Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now.

    It would be Wennberg's second straight game out of the lineup due to the injury. He has eight goals and 23 points in 52 outings in 2024-25. If he misses Tuesday's clash, then his next opportunity to return would be Thursday versus Vancouver.

  • Sharks' Alexander Wennberg: Unavailable Thursday

    Wennberg will miss Thursday's clash against Seattle because of an upper-body injury, per Max Miller of NHL.com.

    Wennberg has eight goals and 23 points in 52 appearances in 2024-25. Carl Grundstrom might draw into the lineup due to Wennberg's absence.

  • Sharks' Alexander Wennberg: Picks up assist Thursday

    Wennberg recorded an assist and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 6-5 loss to the Predators.

    Wennberg set up a Henry Thrun tally in the second period. After a two-game stint on the wing, Wennberg was back at center on the third line, which corresponded with Tyler Toffoli's return from a lower-body injury. Wennberg has gone 17 games without a goal, but he has seven assists in that span, including three helpers over his last six outings. The center is at 23 points, 58 shots, 49 blocked shots and a minus-14 rating through 50 appearances this season.

  • Sharks' Alexander Wennberg: Delivers helper in loss

    Wennberg provided an assist in Tuesday's 7-5 loss to the Predators.

    Wennberg has two helpers over five contests since he returned from a one-game absence due to an illness. The 30-year-old center moved to the wing for the Sharks' back-to-back in Boston and Nashville. One of Wennberg or Mikael Granlund has often been shifted to the wing at times to stay in the top six. For the season, Wennberg has done pretty well with 22 points, 58 shots on net, 48 blocked shots and a minus-16 rating through 49 appearances.

  • Sharks' Alexander Wennberg: Slated to travel with team

    Wennberg (illness) is expected to be available for Tuesday's road matchup against the Red Wings, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.

    Wennberg missed Saturday's game against the Wild due to an illness, but he's set to travel with the Sharks ahead of their upcoming five-game road trip, and head coach Ryan Warsofsky said that he expects the 30-year-old to play in Detroit. Over four appearances in January, Wennberg has recorded two assists, two blocked shots, a hit and a minus-2 rating while averaging 17:45 of ice time.

  • Sharks' Alexander Wennberg: Out Saturday

    Wennberg (illness) won't play Saturday against the Wild, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

    The Sharks will be missing some depth forwards in Saturday's matchup due to the absences of Wennberg, Nikolai Kovalenko (upper body) and Klim Kostin (lower body). Wennberg has eight goals and 20 points through 44 games this season.

  • Sharks' Alexander Wennberg: Earns helper with man advantage

    Wennberg notched a power-play assist and went minus-2 in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Golden Knights.

    Wennberg has four helpers over his last eight games, and two of them have come on the power play. The 30-year-old center helped out on a William Eklund tally in the second period of this contest. Wennberg is in the middle six at even strength but also routinely sees power-play time. For the season, he has 20 points (eight on the power play), 52 shots on net, 41 blocked shots and a minus-11 rating over 43 appearances. He's short of a 40-point pace, but a strong second half could get him there for the first time since 2016-17.

  • Sharks' Alexander Wennberg: Hands out power-play assist

    Wennberg notched a power-play assist and blocked two shots in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Flames.

    Wennberg set up Macklin Celebrini for the Sharks' lone goal in the second period. The 30-year-old Wennberg has had a couple of bursts of offense this season, but he's been limited to four points over 12 outings in December. He's at 18 points (seven on the power play), 51 shots on net, 41 blocked shots and a minus-10 rating through 39 contests overall.

  • Sharks' Alexander Wennberg: Tallies in loss

    Wennberg scored a goal on three shots in Saturday's 4-3 loss to Utah.

    Wennberg has two goals over six games in December. He continues to find twine at an impressive rate this year -- he's at eight goals through 33 contests, shooting 18.2 percent. Last year, he scored just 10 times over 79 regular-season outings between the Kraken and the Rangers. Wennberg has added eight assists, 44 shots on net, 35 blocked shots and a minus-9 rating in 2024-25, production that makes him a viable option in deeper fantasy formats since he's also seeing power-play time.

  • Sharks' Alexander Wennberg: Prevents shutout Thursday

    Wennberg scored a goal and blocked two shots in Thursday's 8-1 loss to the Lightning.

    Wennberg was one of four Sharks to avoid finishing the game with a negative plus-minus rating. His tally 14 seconds into the third period broke up Andrei Vasilevskiy's shutout bid, though it was far too late to change the result. Wennberg has four goals and four assists over his last 10 outings, a remarkable run of offense for a middle-six center on a weak team. He's up to seven goals, 15 points, 37 shots on net, 30 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating over 29 appearances.

  • Sharks' Alexander Wennberg: Adds insurance with power-play goal

    Wennberg scored a power-play goal in Monday's 7-2 win over the Kings.

    Wennberg has three goals and three assists over his last five games, and three of the six points in that span have come on the power play. The 30-year-old center played a season-high 22:28 in this contest, picking up a lot of the slack created by the absence of Mikael Granlund (upper body). Wennberg can add depth offense but is more of a two-way center. He's at 13 points (six on the power play), 30 shots on net, 19 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating across 24 appearances, and he'll likely be in the top six as long as Granlund is out.

  • Sharks' Alexander Wennberg: Deals helper in loss

    Wennberg provided an assist in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Sabres.

    Wennberg has two goals and three assists over his last four contests. The center has been flanked by Luke Kunin and Tyler Toffoli recently, and that's a line combination that can play a valuable two-way game. Wennberg is up to five goals, seven helpers, 29 shots on net, 18 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating over 23 appearances. He'll likely stay on the third line as long as Mikael Granlund and Macklin Celebrini stay healthy.
