Hansen (undisclosed) is doubtful to play in Monday's game in Dallas, Curtis Pashelka of the Bay Area News Group reports.
EDGE Analysis
The wing left Saturday's game in the third, and still seems to be hampered by an unknown ailment. With 13 points in 28 games, he hasn't been a high volume scorer, and with no points in his last five games, he's not in the midst of any sort of a streak, so owners might want to stay away even if he plays.

Hansen exited Saturday's game against the Ducks midway through the third period and did not return, The Mercury News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Coach Peter DeBoer didn't have an update for the veteran forward following the contest, but more news on his status will likely arrive ahead of Monday's game against the Stars. Hansen logged 12:44 of ice time before exiting, entering the box score with just two hits and a minus-2 rating on the night.

Hansen will make his Sharks debut Thursday against the Capitals, Kevin Kurz of CSN Bay Area reports.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran winger hasn't done much this season, notching 13 points in 28 games with the Canucks, but he'll be skating with Joe Thornton and Joe Pavelski on San Jose's first line in Thursday's contest, making him an intriguing play in daily contests and a player to keep an eye on in season-long leagues.

Hansen is expected to join the Sharks on Wednesday for practice, finally ending his ongoing visa issue, Kevin Kurz of CSN Bay Area reports.
EDGE Analysis
It has been more than a week since the Sharks acquired the Danish forward from the Canucks, but his introduction to his new team has been delayed as he sorted out immigration. After Wednesday's practice we'll get a much better idea of where Hansen will slot into the San Jose lineup. There has been speculation he'd join the top line with Joe Pavelski and Joe Thornton, which would obviously be great news for his fantasy owners.

Hansen will not play Sunday's game in Minnesota and is doubtful for Monday's game in Winnipeg due to his ongoing visa issues, Curtis Pashelka of the Mercury News reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Sharks and fantasy owners alike are left wondering how Hansen will fit in with his new team, and at this point it's looking like they'll both have to wait until the team returns to San Jose on Thursday for a matchup with the Capitals. The 30-year-old racked up a goal and three assists in his final eight games with the Canucks.

Hansen is still caught in a waiting game as it relates to obtaining his visa, the San Jose Mercury News reports. "It's really day-to-day," Sharks coach Pete DeBoer said about Hansen's conundrum. "I could get a call in an hour and say he's got clearance or it could be two days. I don't know."
EDGE Analysis
The Sharks had hopes that Hansen would be able to settle his visa issue ahead of Thursday's game against his former Canucks team, but that didn't come to fruition, and it's anyone's guess if he'll be able to suit up against the Wild in Minnesota on Sunday. He's a dual threat in the sense that he's proven capable of scoring and setting up goals at a steady rate, though the Dane had to overcome a significant knee injury in the earlier weeks of winter. Keep him reserved in all fantasy leagues until the mess is sorted out.

Hansen will not be able to play Thursday's game against the Canucks due to ongoing problems with his visa, Brodie Brazil of CSN Bay Area reports.
EDGE Analysis
Visa problems are often prevalent with foreign players who have never been on a United States-based team, such is the case with Hansen here. The hope is that he'll be able to get it all sorted out ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Wild, but there's really no knowing for sure when it comes to the workings of the government.

Hansen may not be in San Jose for Thursday's game against his former team, the Canucks, Dan Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
It is apparently difficult for a Danish citizen to get a United States visa in rather short order. We'll keep you apprised of the situation, but Hansen might need to wait until Sunday's game in Minnesota, or perhaps Monday's game in Winnipeg, before he makes his team debut.

The Sharks acquired Hansen from the Canucks on Tuesday in exchange for Nikolay Goldobin and a conditional fourth-round pick, Bob McKenzie of TSN.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hansen is having a down year with just six goals and 13 points through 28 games. Perhaps a move to a playoff contender will spark him. He has shown signs of life lately, posting a goal with four points in 10 games since returning from a knee injury which cost him six weeks. Hansen is likely to be a bottom-six forward in San Jose.

Hansen was scratched for Tuesday's game against the Red Wings as a precaution, Farhan Lalji of TSN.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hansen's name has been bandied about in rumors leading up to Wednesday's NHL trade deadline. The Canucks are playing it safe and making sure one of their potential trade chips doesn't go down with an injury.
