Ferraro scored a goal on four shots and added an assist in Saturday's 6-2 loss to the Wild.

EDGE Analysis

Ferraro set up a Jan Rutta tally in the first period before scoring one of his own in the second. Entering Saturday, Ferraro had gone nine games without a point. The defenseman continues to play in a top-pairing role as a defensive presence. He's at a career-high 21 points with 123 shots on net, 118 hits, 189 blocked shots and a minus-35 rating through 76 appearances.

Ferraro put up an assist and went minus-2 in Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Blackhawks.

EDGE Analysis

Ferraro has picked up the pace lately with a goal and four assists over his last five outings. Prior to that warm stretch, he went 18 contests without a point and missed four games with a lower-body injury during the slump. The 25-year-old defenseman has a career-high 19 points with 109 shots on net, 107 hits, 175 blocked shots and a minus-31 rating through 66 appearances. His physicality is a plus, but big minutes on a weak team are far from a sure formula for fantasy success.

Ferraro (lower body) will be in the lineup for Wednesday's clash with Winnipeg, Max Miller of The Hockey News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ferraro missed the Sharks' previous four contests due to his lower-body injury. The blueliner remains stuck in a 19-game goal drought during which he's registered nine assists, 30 shots and 58 blocks. With just six more points, Ferraro can reach the 20-point threshold for the first time in his five-year NHL career.

Ferraro (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Monday, according to Max Miller of The Hockey News.

EDGE Analysis

In a corresponding move, Jacob MacDonald (lower body) was activated from the IR list. Ferraro is not expected to play before the All-Star break after being injured last Monday against the Kings. He has generated 14 points, 79 shots on goal, 138 blocked shots and 58 hits across 47 outings this season.

Ferraro (undisclosed) could be sidelined until after the All-Star break, Max Miller of The Hockey News reports.

EDGE Analysis

If Ferraro is held out until the All-Star break, he'll miss San Jose's next four games at a minimum. Henry Thrun could see an expanded role during Ferraro's absence.

Ferraro (undisclosed) will not return to Monday's game against the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Ferraro took a spill into the boards during the second period and did not come back to the game. The 25-year-old has eight points over his last 13 games, though all of those points came during three multi-point efforts. He'll be in danger of missing some time as the Sharks will be right back in action Tuesday against the Rangers.

Ferraro notched three assists in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Senators.

EDGE Analysis

The 25-year-old defenseman did his best to keep the Sharks in the game, adding four blocked shots, three hits, one shot on net and a plus-2 rating to his ledger. Ferraro has three multi-assist performances in the last 10 games, racking up eight helpers in total, but those are his only points during that stretch. San Jose is taking a long look at Calen Addison on the first power-play unit, but Ferraro is quarterbacking the second unit and has been the team's most productive scorer off the blue line of late.

Ferraro notched two assists, two shots on goal, four blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Red Wings.

EDGE Analysis

Ferraro avoided an injury scare after leaving Sunday's game in Colorado after just 4:09 of ice time. He's earned six assists over his last six contests and continues to function as the Sharks' top defenseman. For the season, the 25-year-old has one goal, 10 helpers, 63 shots on net, 105 blocks, 40 hits, 24 PIM and a minus-22 rating over 38 appearances. He's matched his point production from 72 contests last year, and Ferraro could be on his way to a career year.

Ferraro will play Tuesday against Detroit after getting a positive result from an MRI on his ribs, according to Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now.

EDGE Analysis

Ferraro, who was injured early in Sunday's 3-1 loss to Colorado, is slated to play on the top pairing in Tuesday's contest. He has one goal, eight assists, 61 shots on net, 101 blocked shots and 40 hits over 37 outings this season.

Ferraro (upper body) won't return to Sunday's game versus the Avalanche.

EDGE Analysis

Ferraro was hurt in the first period on a heavy hit. The 25-year-old has four assists over his last five games. If Ferraro can't play Tuesday versus the Red Wings, Marc-Edouard Vlasic or Kyle Burroughs could rejoin the lineup.
