Not playing Saturday Desharnais (upper body) won't play against Seattle on Saturday, per Max Miller of NHL.com.

Remains unavailable Desharnais is not in the lineup Thursday versus the Oilers, Max Miller of NHL.com reports.

Impact Desharnais' ongoing absence will prevent him from playing against one of his former teams. The 28-year-old defenseman's status hasn't been officially updated since he was ruled out for the Sharks' last road trip. Desharnais may not get a spot in the lineup once healthy as the Sharks continue to rotate in some younger blueliners.

Sharks Trade Acquisition Injured; Will Miss At Least Next Two Games San Jose Sharks defenseman Vincent Desharnais will miss at least the weekend games due to an upper-body injury.

MARCH 29, 2025 • THEHOCKEYNEWS.COM

Unavailable Saturday Desharnais (upper body) will miss Saturday's tilt versus the Rangers, according to Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News.

Impact Desharnais was injured Thursday against the Maple Leafs, but managed to play through the injury. He has three assists, 87 hits, 83 blocked shots and 45 PIM in 51 contests with Vancouver, Pittsburgh and San Jose this season. The Sharks recalled Jimmy Schuldt on Saturday and he is expected to draw into the lineup for Desharnais.

Questionable for Saturday Desharnais (upper body) is questionable for Saturday's clash against the Rangers, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports Friday.

Impact Desharnais was able to play through his upper-body injury Thursday versus Toronto, but coach Ryan Warsofsky cautioned that it's a fairly significant issue, so the 28-year-old might need to sit out Saturday. Desharnais has three assists, 45 PIM, 87 hits and 83 blocks in 51 appearances between Vancouver, Pittsburgh and San Jose in 2024-25. The Sharks might need to recall a defenseman because Marc-Edouard Vlasic (upper body) is also questionable, while Henry Thrun (upper body) and Jan Rutta (lower body) are expected to miss the upcoming game.

Good to go Thursday Desharnais (upper body) will play Thursday versus the Maple Leafs, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Impact Desharnais will avoid missing time after sitting out Monday's practice session. The 28-year-old defenseman has not earned a point since Dec. 23 when he was a member of the Canucks, going scoreless over 28 contests since across three teams.

MARCH 28, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Sits out practice Desharnais (upper body) is day-to-day after missing Monday's practice, per Max Miller of NHL.com.

Impact Desharnais still has time to recover before Thursday's matchup against Toronto. The 28-year-old defender has three assists, 28 shots on goal, 80 blocked shots and 86 hits in 50 games between San Jose, Vancouver and Pittsburgh this season. If Desharnais and Marc-Edouard Vlasic (upper body) can't play versus the Maple Leafs, San Jose will probably recall a blueliner from the minors.

Dealt again Desharnais was traded to the Sharks from the Penguins on Wednesday in exchange for a 2028 fifth-round pick.

Impact Desharnais failed to record a point over 10 contests with the Penguins, adding seven shots on goal, 19 hits, 20 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating. He was included in the Marcus Pettersson trade between Vancouver and Pittsburgh at the end of January, but he was unable to make a positive impression with the Penguins. He'll have an easier path to playing time with the Sharks, but he remains a poor option for fantasy managers since he doesn't score much.

Impact Desharnais signed with the Canucks as a free agent ahead of 2024-25, but he was ultimately limited to three assists, 54 hits, 48 blocked shots, 34 PIM and a minus-5 rating over 34 appearances. He was unable to carve out a steady third-pairing role after seeing similar usage with the Oilers in 2024-25. Desharnais addresses a minor need for the Penguins as a right-handed blueliner, and he'll bring significant physical force to the third pairing. This will also put Ryan Shea and Pierre-Olivier Joseph on notice for playing time even with another defenseman in Pettersson heading to Vancouver in this deal.

Starting to lose playing time Desharnais was scratched for the third time in eight games when he sat out Monday's 5-2 win over the Blues.

Impact Desharnais hasn't done anything to help his case to stay in the lineup. The Canucks are now giving Elias Pettersson a taste of NHL action on the third pairing. Desharnais has gone 12 games without a point, racking up 22 hits, 19 PIM and 16 blocked shots in that span. For the season, the 28-year-old is at three assists, 54 hits, 48 blocks, 34 PIM and 20 shots on net through 34 appearances. Desharnais may face further pressure for playing time once Noah Juulsen (undisclosed) can return from injured reserve.

JANUARY 28, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Manages helper Desharnais notched an assist and two blocked shots in Monday's 4-3 win over the Sharks.

Impact The helper was Desharnais' first sine Dec. 6 against the Blue Jackets. The 28-year-old defenseman has played in 10 of the Canucks' 12 games so far in December, filling a bottom-four role while Tyler Myers is on the top pairing to cover Filip Hronek's (lower body) absence. Desharnais has limited scoring upside -- he has just three helpers to go with 32 hits, 32 blocked shots, 15 shots on net, 15 PIM and a minus-4 rating through 22 appearances.

Pockets assist Friday Desharnais notched an assist, two shots on goal, two PIM and four blocked shots in Friday's 5-2 win over the Blue Jackets.

Impact Desharnais helped out on Brock Boeser's second-period tally, which sparked the Canucks' comeback effort. The assist was Desharnais' first point since Oct. 26. The 28-year-old defenseman has had the first chance to fill the lineup spot vacated by Filip Hronek (lower body), who is likely out until late January. Desharnais is at two helpers, 11 shots on net, 13 PIM, 20 hits, 23 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating over 15 appearances, and he'll likely be limited to shutdown minutes in a bottom-four role.

DECEMBER 7, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Playing time opening up Desharnais was in the lineup for the second game in a row in Sunday's 5-4 overtime win over the Red Wings.

Impact Desharnais was out of the lineup for the six prior games. He's got a path to playing time again since Filip Hronek (upper body) is out on a week-to-week basis. Desharnais has produced one assist, nine shots on net, 18 hits, 14 blocked shots, 11 PIM and a minus-4 rating over 13 appearances this season, mainly in a third-pairing role.

NOVEMBER 9, 2024 • NHL.COM

First point with new team Desharnais logged an assist in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Penguins.

Impact The helper was Desharnais' first point in five outings with the Canucks. The 28-year-old defenseman has added eight hits, six blocked shots, four PIM and three shots on goal. He plays a heavy game, though that doesn't come with much offense. Desharnais has paired well with Erik Brannstrom on the third pairing, which has kept Derek Forbort and Noah Juulsen out of the lineup in recent games.
