One of each in win Kurashev scored a goal on three shots, added an assist and went plus-3 in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Devils.

Impact Kurashev is on a roll now with five points over his last three games. He's bounced back well from a two-game stint as a healthy scratch. The 26-year-old is seeing ice time in all situations and playing on the second line at even strength, which gives him a good chance to stay productive on offense. Overall, he has three goals, three assists, 17 shots on net, eight hits, five blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over nine outings this season.

Collects two points Tuesday Kurashev scored a goal on four shots, added an assist and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Kings.

Impact This was Kurashev's first multi-point effort as a Shark. He has three points over his last two contests, which follows a recent two-game stint as a healthy scratch. The 26-year-old is far from a lock to be in the lineup all the time, but he has received top-six minutes and power-play time when he is. He's at four points, 14 shots on net, seven hits, five blocked shots and a plus-1 rating across eight appearances this season.

Buries goal in team debut Kurashev scored a goal on three shots and added two hits in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Golden Knights.

Impact Kurashev got the first look at left wing alongside Macklin Celebrini. That's an interesting spot if he can keep it, but the Sharks have a mix of veterans and youngsters that could take it over if Kurashev slumps. The 25-year-old is a fascinating player -- he had just 14 points in 51 outings in 2024-25, but he put up 18 goals and 54 points over 75 appearances the year before. Fantasy managers can afford to wait and see how Kurashev does in a larger sample, but there is scoring potential in his game.

Sharks Sign John Klingberg, Philipp Kurashev & Adam Gaudette In Free Agency The San Jose Sharks have announced that they have signed John Klingberg, Adam Gaudette and Philipp Kurashev to contracts.

JULY 1 • THEHOCKEYNEWS.COM

Finds new team in free agency Kurashev signed a one-year, $1.2 million contract with the Sharks on Tuesday, according to PuckPedia.

Impact Kurashev accounted for seven goals, 14 points and a minus-28 rating with Chicago in 2024-25. The Sharks arguably have more talent than the Blackhawks looking ahead to 2025-26, so Kurashev's production could increase, but his plus-minus rating may not improve much, if any. The 25-year-old should be able to work his way into a middle-six role with his new club this coming season.

JULY 1 • ROTOWIRE

Set to test open market Kurashev won't receive a qualifying offer from Chicago on Monday, making him an unrestricted free agent, according to Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times.

Impact Kurashev contributed seven goals and 14 points in 51 regular-season appearances with the Blackhawks in 2024-25 while averaging only 13:43 of ice time per game. The 25-year-old forward had 18 tallies and 36 assists across 75 outings in the 2023-24 regular season. If he receives an increased role in the right situation, he could have bounce-back potential in the 2025-26 campaign.

JUNE 30 • ROTOWIRE

Tallies in loss Kurashev scored a goal in Friday's 5-3 loss to the Capitals.

Impact Kurashev put the Blackhawks ahead 3-2 in the second period, but the lead didn't last. He was in the lineup for just the fifth time since the start of March, though he's earned three points in that span. The 25-year-old will likely compete with Lukas Reichel for playing time for the rest of the season. Kurashev has 13 points, 52 shots on net, 30 hits and a minus-27 rating through 47 appearances in a disappointing follow-up to his 54-point breakout from 2023-24.

Records two assists Sunday Kurashev recorded two assists, one shot on goal and a plus-1 rating in Sunday's 7-4 win over the Flyers.

Impact Kurashev stepped onto the ice for the first time since March 7, and he did it in style by recording his first multi-assist game of the season. That said, the 25-year-old forward, who sees most of the time on ice as a bottom-six forward, has notched only 12 points (six goals, six assists) in his 44 appearances this season. Thus, he can't be trusted to deliver consistent scoring figures in most fantasy formats.

MARCH 24 • ROTOWIRE

Off injured reserve Kurashev (hand) was activated off injured reserve, setting the stage for him to play Friday versus Utah, per Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times.

Impact Kurashev has six goals and 10 points in 42 outings in 2024-25. He missed three straight games due to the injury. Kurashev will likely serve in a middle-six capacity in his return.

MARCH 7 • ROTOWIRE

Moves to IR Kurashev (hand) was placed on injured reserve Monday.

Impact Kurashev will miss his second straight game against the Kings on Monday. He won't be eligible to play versus Ottawa on Wednesday, either. However, it's unclear when he will be ready to return to the lineup. He has registered six goals, 10 points and 48 shots on net in 42 appearances this season. Due to Kurashev's absence, Lukas Reichel will probably maintain a bottom-six role.

MARCH 3 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Saturday Kurashev (hand) is not in the lineup for Saturday's game versus the Ducks, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Impact Kurashev scored in Thursday's game versus the Golden Knights, but he missed practice Friday due to the hand issue. It'll now cost him at least one contest. Lukas Reichel will center Patrick Maroon and Craig Smith on the fourth line in Kurashev's absence.

MARCH 2 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with hand injury Kurashev missed Friday's practice due to a hand injury, per Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times.

Impact Kurashev has six goals and 10 points in 42 appearances in 2024-25. If he can't play Saturday versus Anaheim, then Lukas Reichel will probably draw back into the lineup after spending the Blackhawks' previous two games in the press box.

Scores again in loss Kurashev scored a goal in Thursday's 7-5 loss to the Golden Knights.

Impact This was Kurashev's second goal in the last three games. The 25-year-old forward also saw 12:42 of ice time Thursday, picking up a little extra usage after Nick Foligno (undisclosed) left the game injured. Kurashev could be in for a larger role if Foligno misses time, though the Blackhawks could rearrange their forward trios in any number of ways to cover an absence. For the season, Kurashev has 10 points, 48 shots on net and a minus-29 rating through 42 appearances, and he has mostly featured in a bottom-six role.
