Snaps slump with helper Dickinson registered an assist and three blocked shots in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Ducks.

Impact Dickinson ended a seven-game slump by helping out on Alexander Wennberg's game-winning goal in the final minute of the third period. The 19-year-old Dickinson has been over the 20-minute mark for ice time in six of the last 11 contests, showing he's gained some trust from the Sharks' coaching staff. The rookie has 13 points, 66 shots on net, 65 hits, 63 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating across 63 appearances.

Playing regularly, quiet on offense Dickinson's point drought reached six games in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Blue Jackets.

Impact Dickinson has played in every game since the Olympic break, but he has just three assists with a minus-4 rating over 16 outings in that span. He's added 23 shots on net, 21 hits and 19 blocked shots, setting the foundation for a career that should be full of well-rounded production as a future top-pairing option. He's earned 12 points, 65 shots on net, 63 hits, 60 blocked shots, 18 PIM and a minus-6 rating over 61 appearances as a rookie this year.

Earns first multi-point effort Dickinson logged two assists, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Canucks.

Impact Dickinson earned his first career multi-point effort by helping out on goals by Macklin Celebrini and Tyler Toffoli in the first period. With five helpers over his last 13 games, Dickinson has found a little more success on offense. The 19-year-old blueliner is at eight points, 38 shots on net, 38 hits, 37 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating over 42 appearances. He's done a lot of learning on the job this year, but the future remains bright for the 11th overall pick from 2024.

Posts assist in overtime win Dickinson logged an assist and four hits in Saturday's 5-4 overtime win over the Stars.

Impact Since the start of December, Dickinson has three helpers, 15 blocked shots, 13 hits, 10 shots on net and a plus-1 rating over 16 outings. The 19-year-old defenseman stayed with the Sharks rather than getting loaned out to Team Canada for the World Junior Championship, so the NHL club is committed to getting him on-the-job experience this season. Dickinson has plenty of potential in the long run, but with just five points, a minus-3 rating, 30 shots on net, 30 hits and 28 blocked shots through 35 contests, he's best left off rosters in redraft formats this season.

JANUARY 11 • ROTOWIRE

Notches helper Saturday Dickinson posted an assist, two hits and two blocked shots in Saturday's 6-5 overtime win over the Penguins.

Impact Dickinson had gone 12 games without a point, posting a minus-6 rating and 12 blocked shots in that span. The Sharks have sheltered him on the third pairing, but he's played in all seven games in December since the team hasn't had a back-to-back set yet this month. Dickinson's at three points, 24 shots on net, 22 hits, 22 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating over 26 appearances so far. He's already burned the first year of his entry-level deal, but the 19-year-old's participation in the upcoming World Junior Championship hasn't been decided upon yet. He may benefit from a couple of weeks away from the NHL to build some confidence since he hasn't been logging much ice time or offense in his rookie year.

Gets first NHL goal Dickinson scored a goal on three shots and went plus-2 in Sunday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Red Wings.

Impact This was Dickinson's 10th NHL game, officially activating his entry-level contract. That likely means the 19-year-old is here to stay in the NHL, though that's not guaranteed. He could join Canada at the World Junior Championship in December as well. Dickinson is nonetheless much more likely to stay with the Sharks now, as long as his performance justifies his place in the lineup. He's posted a minus-2 rating, 11 shots on net, six hits, six blocked shots and six PIM so far. Dickinson has sat out on occasion to buy the Sharks more time to make a decision on his 2025-26 season, and he'll likely continue to be a scratch occasionally as part of his development plan. He could force his way into the lineup by being consistent on offense moving forward, but it's still a big jump for a rookie defenseman to skip the AHL en route to a full-time NHL job. Fantasy managers in dynasty formats can activate him when they see fit, but he has a bit of work to do to earn the trust of those in redraft leagues.
