John Klingberg - NHL News & Rumors

One of each on power play Klingberg scored a goal on four shots and added an assist in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Canucks.

Impact Klingberg's pair of points came on the power play. The 33-year-old has maintained his place on the top unit despite earning just one assist over six games entering Tuesday. The blueliner is up to 10 goals, 19 points (nine on the power play), 63 shots on net, 52 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating through 38 appearances. He's sharing enough ice with Macklin Celebrini to at least be intriguing in fantasy.

Impact Klingberg earned his first point in three contests since he returned from a four-game absence due to a lower-body injury. The defenseman's production had started to fade prior to the injury -- he has just two points over his last 10 outings, but he's still in a top-four role with power-play time. Klingberg has 17 points (seven on the power play), 52 shots on net, 45 blocked shots, 25 hits and 16 PIM over 34 appearances.

Removed from IR Klingberg (lower body) was activated from injured reserve Sunday.

Impact According to Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now, Klingberg will replace Nick Leddy in Sunday's lineup against Vegas. The 33-year-old Klingberg missed the last four games. He has accounted for nine goals, 16 points, 48 shots on net, 41 blocked shots and 23 hits through 31 appearances this season.

Might return Sunday Klingberg (lower body) won't be an option versus the Stars on Saturday but could suit up in Sunday's clash with Vegas, Max Miller of NHL.com reports.

Impact Klingberg will miss his fourth straight game due to his lower-body problem, but he appears to be nearing his return to action. In six games prior to getting hurt, the 33-year-old Swede managed just one point to go with 12 shots, eight blocks and three hits. Even once cleared to play, fantasy managers will need to take a cautious approach to utilizing Klingberg given his streaky offensive performance this year.

Moves to IR Klingberg (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Monday.

Impact The Sharks recalled Patrick Giles from AHL San Jose in a corresponding move. Klingberg sat out Saturday's 7-3 loss to Tampa Bay and won't play in at least the team's next four contests, starting with Tuesday's matchup against Columbus. However, it's unclear when he will be available to return. He has racked up nine goals, 16 points, 48 shots on net, 41 blocked shots and 23 hits across 31 appearances this season.

Won't play this week Head coach Ryan Warsofsky relayed Sunday that Klingberg (lower body) won't play this week, according to Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now.

Impact Klingberg sustained a lower-body injury during Wednesday's 4-3 shootout win over the Wild and missed Saturday's game against the Lightning as a result. The Sharks have two back-to-back sets this week, and it remains to be seen if Klingberg will be available for the last game of those four against the Golden Knights on Jan. 11. The right-shot blueliner was playing well prior to getting hurt, producing six goals, nine points and a plus-6 rating across his last 11 appearances.

Doubtful for Saturday Klingberg (undisclosed) is considered doubtful for Saturday's game against Tampa Bay, per Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News.

Impact Klingberg has nine goals and 16 points in 31 appearances with the Sharks this season. Timothy Liljegren (upper body) might be able to return Saturday, so if Klingberg can't play, then his exit from the lineup might coincide with another defenseman's return. If Klingberg and Liljegren are both unavailable, then Nick Leddy will probably play.

Tallies in Saturday's win Klingberg scored a goal and blocked two shots in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Canucks.

Impact Klingberg went into the holiday break on a three-game skid, but he ended it with a goal in the first period in the first contest after the pause. The 33-year-old defenseman has turned back the clock this year while seeing top-four minutes. His nine goals are his most in any campaign since 2022-23, and he's at 16 points with 44 shots on net, 38 blocked shots, 22 hits and a minus-1 rating through 29 appearances. Fantasy managers should ride the hot stretch as long as Klingberg can remain productive.

OT hero in two-goal effort Klingberg scored two goals, one on the power play and the other the overtime winner, in Saturday's 6-5 victory over Pittsburgh.

Impact With the Sharks down 5-1 in the third period, Klingberg got the biggest late comeback in Sharks history started by snapping a shot past Arturs Silovs from the slot. The veteran defenseman then deked past Sidney Crosby at the Pens blue line and worked a slick give-and-go with Macklin Celebrini in OT to produce the winner. Klingberg has gotten onto the scoresheet in four straight games, racking up four goals and seven points during that heater -- and accounting for half his points through 24 games on the season.
