Emberson (lower body) is not expected to play again this season after head coach David Quinn told reporters Monday, "Probably not with where we're at, but you never know. Stranger things have happened," per Max Miller of The Hockey News.

EDGE Analysis

Emberson has already been out of action for the Sharks' last 12 contests dating back to Feb. 29 versus Anaheim. Before suffering his lower-body injury, the 23-year-old defenseman registered one goal, nine assists and 94 hits while averaging 18:33 of ice time per game over 30 contests. Emberson should be in contention for a spot on the blue line next year and figures to offer some offensive upside.

Emberson (lower body) is likely at least two weeks away from returning, Max Miller of The Hockey News reports Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Emberson has a goal, 10 points, 94 hits and 46 blocks in 30 contests this season. He was injured last Thursday and is on injured reserve. Once Emberson is ready to return, he might serve in a top-four capacity but is unlikely to receive much power-play ice time.

Emberson (lower body) was put on injured reserve Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Emberson has a goal and 10 points in 30 contests with the Sharks this season. His placement on IR can be made retroactive to when he was injured last Thursday, but Emberson is considered week-to-week, so his timetable likely won't be affected by this move.

EDGE Analysis

Emberson (undisclosed) won't return to Thursday's game versus the Ducks, Max Miller of The Hockey News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Emberson doled out two hits and added one shot on goal over 6:35 of ice time Thursday. It's unclear what caused his injury, but he was ruled out for the rest of the game at the second intermission. If Emberson and Marc-Edouard Vlasic (upper body) can't play Saturday in Dallas, Calen Addison will likely get into the lineup.

Emberson recorded an assist, three hits, two blocked shots and two PIM in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Predators.

EDGE Analysis

Emberson had gone without a point over the previous four games. He snapped the drought by setting up a Mikael Granlund goal in the third period. Emberson has filled a top-four role this season, racking up 10 points, 28 shots on net, 90 hits, 45 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating over 28 appearances as a rookie.

EDGE Analysis

Emberson, who missed the Sharks' previous contest Jan. 31 against Anaheim, has a goal, nine points, 55 hits and 33 blocks in 23 outings in 2023-24. He's projected to skate on the second pairing alongside Marc-Edouard Vlasic. Emberson's return is also likely to result in Nikita Okhotyuk being a healthy scratch versus the Jets.

Emberson will miss Wednesday's game against Anaheim because of an upper-body injury, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Emberson has a goal and nine points in 23 contests this season. He missed seven straight games from Jan. 11-23 because of an upper-body injury, but it's not clear if he's dealing with the same issue or a new injury. Kyle Burroughs will draw back into the lineup against the Ducks after being a healthy scratch Tuesday versus Seattle.

Emberson notched an assist, two hits and two blocked shots in Tuesday's 2-0 win over the Kraken.

EDGE Analysis

Emberson has a helper in each of his two games since returning from an upper-body injury that cost him seven contests. The 23-year-old defenseman also had three assists over his five games before the injury. He's been trusted with a significant role in his first campaign, earning nine points, 22 shots on net, 47 hits, 33 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating while averaging 18:53 of ice time per appearance through 23 outings. His recent uptick on offense should have him on the radar for DFS and deeper fantasy formats.
