Supplies three helpers Thursday Klingberg dished out three assists in Thursday's 6-1 win over the Jets.

Impact Klingberg wrapped up his 12th season in the NHL with his first three-point outing of the season. He picked up a helper in all three periods Thursday, including the primary assist on Macklin Celebrini's goal in the third. Overall, Klingberg concluded the campaign with 17 assists, 27 points, 79 shots on net, 46 hits and 62 blocked shots across 56 games this season. His first full year with the Sharks revitalized his offensive numbers, posting his first campaign with 25-plus points since the 2022-23 season. He averaged just under half a point per game this season when healthy and should garner some looks in deep fantasy leagues next season if he maintains his share of power-play time.

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.

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.
