Impact 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.

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.

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

Impact 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.

Impact 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.

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.

Impact 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 Paul 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.

JANUARY 13, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact The Sharks will be down some depth Saturday with Wennberg, Nikolai Kovalenko (upper body) and Klim Kostin (undisclosed) all ruled out. Wennberg has eight goals and 20 points through 44 games this year.

JANUARY 11, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

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.

Impact 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.

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

Impact 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.

DECEMBER 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact 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.

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

Impact 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.

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

Impact 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.

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

Impact 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 strong 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 both Mikael Granlund and Macklin Celebrini stay healthy.

Impact Wennberg scored on the power play in the opening frame before sending the game to overtime after tying the score at 2-2 with just nine seconds left in the third period. The Swedish forward could be turning the corner on offense -- he's registered multi-point outings in two of his last three games. Wennberg has compiled five goals, six assists, four PIM, 29 shots, 18 blocks, 13 hits and seven takeaways through 22 contests.

Impact Wennberg snapped a five-game point drought when he set up William Eklund's first goal of the contest, and he added another helper on a Tyler Toffoli goal. Through the first 20 games, Wennberg has been extremely streaky in a middle-six role -- he's had two extended droughts sandwiched around a stretch of seven points in seven games. The playmaking center has three goals, six helpers, 27 shots on net, 15 blocked shots, 12 hits and a minus-2 rating.

Wennberg is up to three goals, seven points, 21 shots on net, 13 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating over 14 appearances.
