Igor Chernyshov - NHL News & Rumors

Adds pair of points in win Chernyshov netted a goal and tallied an assist in Wednesday's 4-3 shootout win over the Wild.

Impact Chernyshov opened the second period with a goal inside the first 90 seconds before he later recorded the lone helper on Macklin Celebrini's tally in the third. With the pair of assists, Chernysov now has three goals, five assists and 16 shots on net through his first seven career games in the NHL. The 20-year-old winger has stepped up admirably alongside Macklin Celebrini on the team's top line in the absence of Will Smith (upper body). If Chernyshev can sustain even a fraction of his current production when Smith returns in the near future, the rookie will remain a high-upside streaming option at the NHL level if he stays with the Sharks. For now, Chernyshev is a top pickup on the waiver wire in most fantasy formats.

Puts away goal Monday Chernyshov scored a goal on two shots in Monday's 5-4 win over the Ducks.

Impact Chernyshov has now scored in back-to-back games and continues to hit the ground running at the NHL level. Through six outings, he's produced two goals, four assists, 15 shots on net and a plus-4 rating. A top-line role has helped him adjust quickly, but Chernyshov was the 33rd-overall pick in 2024, so he has plenty of talent in his own right to not be dependent on his linemates. He's worth a look in fantasy as long as the points keep piling up.

Macklin Celebrini hits 60 points with goal, 2 assists in Sharks' 5-4 victory over Ducks

Macklin Celebrini became the third player to score 60 points this season with a goal and two assists in the San Jose Sharks’ 5-4 victory over the Anaheim Ducks

DECEMBER 30, 2025 • Associated Press

First multi-point effort in career Chernyshov scored a power-play goal on two shots, dished an assist and went plus-2 in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Canucks.

Impact The goal at 4:47 of the third period stood as the game-winner, and it was the first tally of Chernyshov's career. He also made this his first multi-point effort by setting up Macklin Celebrini's goal later in the frame. Chernyshov has five points, 13 shots on net and a plus-5 rating over five NHL outings so far. He looks like he already fits in a top-six role, so fantasy managers should be at least keeping an eye on the 20-year-old winger as an offense-only option.

Earns assist in NHL debut Chernyshov logged an assist in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Flames.

Impact This was Chernyshov's NHL debut, and he saw 12:20 of ice time, though he was listed on the top line at even strength. The 20-year-old tore up the AHL with 23 points in 25 games to begin his tenure in that league, though he is unlikely to match that pace at the NHL level. Chernyshov remains an intriguing long-term option for dynasty managers, but his stay in the NHL this year might not be enough to tip the scales for managers in redraft formats.

San Jose places Smith and Kurashev on injured reserve after they crash into boards

San Jose has placed forwards Will Smith and Philipp Kurashev on injured reserve after both players crashed into the boards in their last game

DECEMBER 15, 2025 • Associated Press

Called up Monday Chernyshov was recalled from AHL San Jose on Monday.

Impact Chernyshov hasn't yet made his NHL debut, but he's had a productive start to the year with the Barracuda, racking up 11 goals, 12 assists, 22 PIM and a plus-5 rating over 25 appearances to begin the year. He'll provide additional depth for the Sharks after Philipp Kurashev (upper body) and Will Smith (undisclosed) landed on injured reserve Monday.

Ends slump with three helpers Chernyshov posted three assists in AHL San Jose's 4-3 overtime win over Texas on Saturday.

Impact Chernyshov had gone three games without a point prior to Saturday. The 20-year-old winger continues to impress in his first AHL campaign -- he's now at 11 goals and 12 assists through 25 outings for the Barracuda this year. He may not get his NHL debut in 2025-26, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him push for a job out of training camp in September.

Three more points in AHL win Chernyshov scored a goal on five shots and added two assists in AHL San Jose's 4-3 win over Colorado on Saturday.

Impact Chernyshov has four goals and five assists over his last five games. The winger has surged throughout November, a positive sign after a sluggish October. He should continue to show immense potential on offense in his first North American professional season.

Three points in Barracuda's win Chernyshov scored a goal on three shots and added two assists in AHL San Jose's 4-3 overtime win over Abbotsford on Saturday.

Impact Chernyshov has eight goals and four assists over his last nine outings, a dramatic improvement in production compared to his slow start to the year. The 19-year-old winger is up to 15 points, 34 shots and a plus-5 rating over 17 contests overall. A second-round pick from 2024, he's still a bit of a raw prospect, but he's got plenty of potential if he can continue this upswing.

Stays hot with hat trick Chernyshov scored three goals on seven shots in AHL San Jose's 7-0 win over Abbotsford on Tuesday.

Impact All six of Chernyshov's goals this season have come over the last four games. The 19-year-old winger has added three assists, 25 shots on net and a plus-1 rating over 12 appearances. Chernyshov just need a little time to adjust to North American professional ranks, but he's look like a promising part of the Sharks' future with these early positive returns.

NOVEMBER 12, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Two-goal effort for Barracuda Chernyshov scored twice on three shots in AHL San Jose's 4-3 win over Calgary on Thursday.

Impact All three of Chernyshov's goals have come over the last two games. He's at six points, 18 shots on net and a minus-3 rating over his first 10 outings this season. The 19-year-old Russian is playing above his age range to be in the AHL this year, so expect some growing pains, but he is talented enough to find his way. A second-round pick of the Sharks in 2024, Chernyshov has plenty of potential to make some noise at the NHL level as a middle-six power forward in two or three years.
