Sharks' Michael Misa: Lights lamp in season finale
Rotowire
Misa tallied a goal and fired five shots on net in Thursday's 6-1 win over Winnipeg.
Misa ended his rookie campaign on a four-game point streak, which he extended Thursday with his even-strength goal late in the second period to place the Sharks up 4-1. Overall, the 19-year-old center posted nine goals, 21 points, 58 shots on net, 14 hits and 23 blocked shots across 45 games this season. He went on multiple point streaks throughout the season and is trending towards a bigger role next year if he can stay healthy. Misa will likely compete to be San Jose's No. 2 center to open next season and he should provide solid fantasy value in most standard leagues that value offensive contributions over category coverage.

Rotowire
Graf scored a goal and placed two shots on net in Thursday's 6-1 win over the Jets.

Rotowire
Chernyshov tallied a power-play goal and put two shots on net in Thursday's 6-1 win over Winnipeg.
Chernyshov finished the regular season hot with his fourth goal over his last four games. The 20-year-old winger wrapped up his rookie campaign with nine goals, 19 points, 46 shots on net, 17 hits and 13 blocked shots across 28 games this season. He showed many flashes of elite potential throughout the season while skating in a majority of his games next to Macklin Celebrini on the team's top line. Chernyshov has a bright outlook in dynasty leagues ahead of next season and could make an impact in most standard fantasy leagues if the Sharks keep him at the NHL level for all of next season.

Sharks' John Klingberg: Supplies three helpers Thursday
Rotowire
Klingberg dished out three assists in Thursday's 6-1 win over the Jets.
Klingberg wrapped up his 12th season in the NHL with his first three-point outing of the season. He picked up a helper in all three periods Thursday, including the primary assist on Macklin Celebrini's goal in the third. Overall, Klingberg concluded the campaign with 17 assists, 27 points, 79 shots on net, 46 hits and 62 blocked shots across 56 games this season. His first full year with the Sharks revitalized his offensive numbers, posting his first campaign with 25-plus points since the 2022-23 season. He averaged just under half a point per game this season when healthy and should garner some looks in deep fantasy leagues next season if he maintains his share of power-play time.

The rising star took another step forward this season offensively, as he compiled more points and shots on net in less games than he played in his rookie campaign. He is a high-upside player in fantasy for the years to come and is set to operate inside the Sharks' top six for the foreseeable future.

Sharks' William Eklund: Bags three points in finale
Rotowire
Eklund tallied a goal, notched two assists and placed three shots on net in Thursday's 6-1 win over the Jets.
Eklund capped off his 2025-26 campaign with a strong outing, as he provided two primary assists before adding the Sharks' fifth goal of the game right before time expired in the second period. The 23-year-old winger wrapped up the regular season with 15 goals, 38 assists, 176 shots on net, 72 hits and 51 blocked shots across 78 games. Despite ending the year with five less points than he compiled in 77 games a season ago, he showcased growth as an all-around player with new career highs in shots on goal, hits and blocked shots. Eklund holds solid upside playing the Sharks' top six and is worthy of a draft pick in most standard fantasy formats next season.

Sharks' Macklin Celebrini: Sets Sharks' points record
Rotowire
Celebrini scored a goal, distributed two assists and placed three shots on net in Thursday's 6-1 win over Winnipeg.
Celebrini made history Thursday, as he recorded his 115th point of the season to pass Joe Thornton's 114-point, single-season record for the Sharks. Celebrini made the record-breaking performance possible with a pair of helpers in the first period before finding the back of the net himself less than a minute and a half into the third. With the trio of points, the 19-year-old superstar finished his sophomore season with 45 goals, 70 assists, 287 shots on net, 53 hits and 53 blocked shots across 82 games this season. He has cemented himself as one of the league's best players and will likely be a top-five pick in nearly all fantasy formats next season.

Sharks' Alex Nedeljkovic: Strong showing in season finale
Rotowire
Nedeljkovic turned aside 25 of 26 shots on net in Thursday's 6-1 win over the Jets.
Nedeljkovic ended the 2025-26 campaign on the right foot, allowing just one early goal before keeping the Jets off the scoresheet for the final 56 minutes of Thursday's contest. With the win, the 30-year-old netminder finished the season with an 18-14-4 record, a 2.87 GAA and an .896 save percentage across 40 appearances this season. While his first season in San Jose had its ups and downs, he played some of his best hockey down the stretch with a 5-1-0 record, a 2.17 GAA and a .915 save percentage over his final six outings. He will likely compete with Yaroslav Askarov for the starting job next season, but Nedeljkovic will likely receive enough chances in net to remain fantasy relevant in various deep leagues.
Sharks' Alex Nedeljkovic: Will start in season finale
Rotowire
Nedeljkovic is set to start on the road against Winnipeg on Thursday, per Max Miller of NHL.com.
Nedeljkovic stopped 26 of 28 shots en route to a 3-2 win over Nashville in his last start Monday. He's 17-14-4 with a 2.92 GAA and an .894 save percentage in 39 appearances in 2025-26. Manning the net against the Jets will make this the second time he's reached 40 games played in a regular season. Thursday's action will also be an opportunity for him to complete his sweep of the Jets in 2025-26 after stopping 59 of 61 shots (.967 save percentage) en route to victories over Winnipeg on Nov. 7 and March 1.

Sharks' Eric Pohlkamp: Inks entry-level deal
Rotowire
Pohlkamp signed a two-year, entry-level contract with the Sharks on Thursday.
Pohlkamp scored 18 goals and 39 points in 42 outings as a junior with the University of Denver in 2025-26. The 22-year-old defenseman led Denver in goals and points this season to help the team win the National Championship. San Jose selected Pohlkamp with the No. 132 overall pick in the 2023 NHL Draft.
Sherwood notched two assists and six hits in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Blackhawks.
Sherwood snapped a three-game dry spell with this effort, assisting on goals by Mario Ferraro and Michael Misa (on the power play). The 31-year-old Sherwood is up to 35 points, 168 shots on net, 338 hits, 50 PIM and a minus-22 rating over 71 appearances between the Sharks and the Canucks this season. Sherwood signed a five-year extension in March, so he figures to be a middle-six option in San Jose for the foreseeable future.

Sharks' Mario Ferraro: Puts away goal in loss
Rotowire
Ferraro scored a goal on three shots and went minus-3 in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Blackhawks.
The first-period tally was Ferraro's first point over nine games in April. He's added 17 hits, 15 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating this month. For the season, the shutdown defenseman has earned a career-high seven goals and 22 points over 81 appearances. He's added 93 shots on net, 134 hits, 147 blocked shots, 35 PIM and a minus-2 rating while seeing top-four minutes. Ferraro is one of four blueliners on the Sharks' roster set for unrestricted free agency in the summer, but his ability to do the hard work would likely make him a top target to be re-signed.

Sharks' Michael Misa: Strikes on power play in loss
Rotowire
Misa scored a power-play goal on two shots in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Blackhawks.
Misa has a point in three straight games, and his last two contributions have come on the power play. This tally was his first in a month -- he last scored March 15 in Ottawa. The 19-year-old has had some growing pains this season while primarily seeing bottom-six minutes, earning eight goals, 20 points, 53 shots on net and a minus-3 rating over 44 appearances. Four of his points have come with the man advantage.

Sharks' Yaroslav Askarov: Yields five goals in loss
Rotowire
Askarov allowed five goals on 24 shots in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Blackhawks.

He dropped to 21-20-4 with a 3.63 GAA and an .883 save percentage over 47 starts this season. Askarov likely won't be asked to make consecutive starts to close out 2025-26 -- look for Alex Nedeljkovic to tend the twine in Winnipeg for the season finale Thursday.
Askarov is expected to start on the road against Chicago on Wednesday, per Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now.
Askarov has a 21-19-4 record, 3.59 GAA and .885 save percentage in 46 outings this season. He's allowed at least three goals in each of his past five outings. Chicago has gone 7-17-7 while averaging just 2.23 goals per game across its past 31 matches.
