Blasts long-range goal Knyzhov scored a goal on three shots and added two PIM in Monday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Golden Knights.

Impact Knyzhov collected the puck on a failed clearance by the Golden Knights, and he lasered a shot short-side to beat Robin Lehner for the opening tally. The 23-year-old Knyzhov has shown some flashes of talent this year. He has eight points, 64 hits, 40 blocked shots, 37 PIM and 36 shots on net through 45 contests. He's still a mainly defensive presence on the second pairing.

Impact Knyzhov has assists in consecutive outings after going 16 games without a point. The Russian blueliner has four helpers, 35 PIM, 19 shots on net, 35 hits and 28 blocked shots through 30 contests. As a mainly defensive player, Knyzhov probably won't warrant fantasy consideration in 2020-21.

Impact Knyzhov had the secondary helper on a Logan Couture tally in the first period, which was the former's first NHL point in 14 appearances over two years. The 22-year-old Knyzhov has become a third-pairing fixture this year with 10 shots on goal, 10 hits, eight blocked shots and eight PIM in 11 contests. He's averaged 10:51 per game, so there's virtually no reason for fantasy managers to track the Russian rearguard's progress yet.

Makes Opening Night roster Knyzhov made the Sharks' Opening Night roster.

Impact The undrafted 22-year-old defenseman was able to earn a job over Jaycob Megna. Knyzhov will likely open the year alongside Jacob Middleton on the third pairing, although it may be a short-term arrangement. Radim Simek (undisclosed) will miss Thursday's game versus the Coyotes, but his return would likely push Knyzhov out of the lineup.
