Philipp Kurashev - NHL News & Rumors

Poised for free agency Kurashev will be an unrestricted free agent Wednesday after San Jose didn't issue him a qualifying offer Monday.

Impact Kurashev chipped in seven goals, 20 points, 62 shots on net and 40 hits across 43 appearances with the Sharks during the 2025-26 regular season. He was a healthy scratch frequently down the stretch, and he will get a chance at a fresh start somewhere else in the 2026-27 campaign.

Can't get into lineup Kurashev was scratched for the 12th time in 15 games in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Predators.

Impact Kurashev has slipped out of a regular role lately, with Igor Chernyshov primarily taking over his place in the lineup. The 26-year-old Kurashev has done a decent job of bouncing back, earning 20 points, 61 shots on net, 39 hits and an even plus-minus rating over just 42 appearances this season. However, with a more defensive forward in Ty Dellandrea also battling for a part-time spot, Kurashev is unlikely to have much of an impact for the rest of the campaign.

Scores in loss to Colorado Kurashev scored a goal in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Avalanche.

Impact Kurashev recorded an assist in the loss to the Blackhawks on Monday and now scored a goal in the loss to Colorado, so he'll enter the Olympic break on a strong note. The 26-year-old winger missed time with an upper-body injury that sidelined him for 19 games between Dec. 16 and Jan. 29, but even if he stays healthy after the break, his bottom-six role will probably limit his fantasy upside.

Nabs assist Monday Kurashev notched an assist and three hits in Monday's 6-3 loss to the Blackhawks.

Impact This was Kurashev's second outing since he returned from a 19-game absence due to an upper-body injury. The 26-year-old was able to get on the scoresheet against his former team. He's at 16 points in 33 contests this season, compared to 14 points with a minus-28 rating in 51 appearances with the Blackhawks last year. Kurashev has found a steady middle-six role for the Sharks, though his play on offense is only good enough to help in deeper fantasy formats.

Ready to rock Kurashev (upper body) will be activated from injured reserve ahead of his return to the lineup against Calgary on Saturday, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.

Impact Following a 19-game absence, Kurashev will replace Pavol Regenda in Saturday's lineup. The 26-year-old Kurashev has generated six goals, 15 points, 49 shots on net and 30 hits in 31 appearances this season.

JANUARY 31 • ROTOWIRE

Set to travel with team Kurashev (upper body) will accompany the Sharks on the team's upcoming five-game road trip, according to Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now on Sunday.

Impact Kurashev participated in Sunday's practice and could play near the end of San Jose's trip, which begins against Vancouver on Tuesday and ends against Colorado on Feb. 4. He has missed the last 17 games and remains on injured reserve. Kurashev has registered six goals, 15 points, 49 shots on net and 30 hits in 31 appearances this season.

JANUARY 25 • ROTOWIRE

Not traveling with team Kurashev (upper body) won't be with the Sharks when they leave for a four-game road trip, Max Miller of NHL.com reports, though he could join up later if cleared.

Impact Kurashev has been out of action since Dec. 13 versus the Penguins, a stretch of 12 games on injured reserve. Prior to getting hurt, the winger was mired in a 12-game goal drought during which he generated a mere 11 shots to go with three helpers.

JANUARY 12 • ROTOWIRE

Deemed week-to-week Kurashev (upper body) is week-to-week, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports Tuesday.

Impact After being placed on injured reserve Monday, Kurashev will miss at least the next three games, starting with Tuesday's matchup against Calgary. However, his week-to-week status suggests he could be out for longer than that. The 26-year-old forward has registered six goals, 15 points, 49 shots on net and 30 hits through 31 appearances this season. With Kurashev and Will Smith (undisclosed) unavailable, Igor Chernyshov and Collin Graf will join Macklin Celebrini on the top line for Tuesday's contest.

Shifts to IR Kurashev (upper body) was designated for injured reserve Monday, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Impact Kurashev is mired in a 12-game goal drought during which he recorded three assists, 11 shots and 13 hits while averaging 13:59 of ice time. The forward injuries are starting to pile up for the Sharks, as Will Smith (undisclosed) was also placed on injured reserve Monday, joining Michael Misa (ankle). William Eklund and Collin Graf should both take on top-six roles while Kurashev is on the shelf.

DECEMBER 15, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Suffers injury Saturday Kurashev (upper body) won't return to Saturday's game against Pittsburgh.

Impact Kurashev logged only 8:03 of ice time in Saturday's contest before his exit. He entered the matchup with six goals and 15 points in 30 appearances. If Kurashev can't play against Calgary on Tuesday, Zack Ostapchuk could return to the lineup.

Impact Kurashev put the Sharks ahead 3-2 late in the second period with his tally, his first goal since he scored twice versus the Avalanche on Nov. 1. The Sharks didn't hold that lead, but Kurashev saved the day with the lone shootout tally to earn the win. The 26-year-old has six goals, 12 points, 38 shots on net, 17 hits and a plus-4 rating through 19 contests this season. Kurashev should be able to produce decent offense as long as he remains in a top-six role.
