Not playing Saturday Chernyshov (concussion) won't be in the lineup against Philadelphia on Saturday, per Max Miller of NHL.com.

Impact Chernyshov has been skating on his own, but it's still unclear when he will be available to return to action. He will miss his fourth straight game due to a concussion. He has contributed three goals, 11 points, 27 shots on net and nine hits in 16 NHL outings this campaign.

Ruled out Thursday Chernyshov (concussion) is not available for Thursday's tilt versus Buffalo on Thursday, according to Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News.

Impact The highly-regarded Chernyshov has three goals and eight assists in 16 NHL games this season, his first in the league. Chernyshov suffered the injury during his first shift in Montreal on March 14 and he will miss his third straight game. Consider Chernyshov day-to-day at this time.

Remains on shelf Tuesday Chernyshov (concussion) will miss Tuesday's road clash against the Oilers, per Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now.

Impact Chernyshov will miss his second consecutive contest Tuesday after exiting Saturday's game following his first shift. His injury was confirmed to be a concussion since San Jose's last outing. However, Chernyshov was spotted watching practice Tuesday, which is a strong sign that he'll have a chance to return once the Sharks head back to San Jose. The 20-year-old winger has been effective in the NHL this season with eight assists, 11 points and 27 shots on net across 16 appearances. His next opportunity to return is Thursday against the Sabres.

Out Sunday Chernyshov (upper body) won't play Sunday against the Senators, Max Miller of NHL.com reports.

Impact Chernyshov left Saturday's game against the Canadiens early after taking a hit on his first shift and didn't return. He'll be held out for one game at least as he won't play Sunday. The 20-year-old has 11 points (three goals, eight assists) in 16 games on the season. In his absence, Pavol Regenda will draw into the lineup.

Sharks rookie Chernyshov exits after a big hit less than 30 seconds in against Montreal

Exits early after high hit Chernyshov is being evaluated for an upper-body injury and will not finish Saturday's game versus the Canadiens, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.

Impact Chernyshov was injured on his first shift, taking a high hit from Mike Matheson. Chernyshov had trouble finding his balance leaving the ice, so it's no surprise he is being held out. If he can't play Sunday in Ottawa, Philipp Kurahsev or Ryan Reaves are most likely to get into the lineup.

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

Impact Chernyshov had three goals and eight assists in 15 NHL games earlier in the campaign. The 20-year-old tallied 13 goals and 20 assists in 41 AHL contests before his recall. Chernyshov could replace William Eklund (lower body) who is questionable Thursday.

MARCH 12 • ROTOWIRE

Headed back to minors Chernyshov was reassigned to AHL San Jose on Thursday.

Impact Chernyshov's demotion is a good sign that the Sharks anticipate getting one of their four players currently on injured reserve back for Friday's clash with the Rangers. In his 15 appearances for San Jose this year, the 20-year-old winger racked up three goals and eight helpers, including a trio of power-play points. Given his offensive upside, it seems unlikely this will be Chernyshov's last stint on the NHL roster this year.

Two helpers against Cats Chernyshov produced two assists in Monday's 4-1 win over the Panthers.

Impact The rookie winger helped set up two second-period tallies, including what proved to be the game-winner by Vincent Desharnais. Chernyshov has just one point (an assist) over his prior seven games as his early scoring binge fades, and the 20-year-old has fallen out of a top-six role, although he's still skating on the second power-play unit.

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.

DECEMBER 15, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

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.

DECEMBER 14, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

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.
