Dell will start in the road goal Sunday versus the Red Wings, Kevin Kurz of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Martin Jones allowed four goals on 23 shots in Saturday's loss versus the Blue Jackets, so Dell entered in relief and turned aside all three shots. Dell has only made five other appearances since the calendar flipped to 2019, marking a .904 save percentage and 2.80 GAA in that span. The Red Wings' offense is anything but threatening as it's ranked 24th in the league at 2.77 goals per game. Dell has a good shot at notching his eighth win of the season.

Dell stopped all three shots he faced after replacing Martin Jones midway through the third period of Saturday's 4-0 loss to the Blue Jackets.

EDGE Analysis

While he didn't see a lot of action, he was tested and needed to make a spectaular glove save on an Oliver Bjorkstrand wrister from the top of the circle. Dell hasn't received a start since Feb. 9, but with the Sharks back on the ice Sunday afternoon in Detroit, the 29-year-old backup seems likely to hear his name called.

Dell made 21 saves in a 5-2 win over Edmonton on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

It was his first game since Jan. 21 and first start since Jan. 16. Dell doesn't get enough playing time to be relevant in anything but the deepest of leagues.

Dell will command the crease Saturday against host Edmonton, Kevin Kurz of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Sharks have won four straight games and sit only two points behind the Flames for the Pacific Division lead. Dell only has six wins in 17 appearances, though two of them have come courtesy of the shutout. San Jose's primary backup needed only 20 saves to defeat the Oilers a little over a month ago.

Dell allowed a goal on nine shots during a relief appearance in Monday's 6-2 loss to Florida.

EDGE Analysis

After Martin Jones coughed up his fifth goal during an ugly third period, Dell stepped in to replace him. He had done a solid job before allowing a power-play score in the final minute of regulation. Dell will most likely draw the start for Tuesday's game in Washington, the Sharks' final game before the All-Star break.

Dell will start in goal Thursday against the Coyotes in Phoenix.

EDGE Analysis

Dell will make just his second start of the month for the Sharks on Wednesday, though his other marked a turnaround as the netminder set aside 20 of the 22 shots he faced to improve his season record to 6-5-3. While the Coyotes have emerged victorious in three of their last four contests, the club averages just 2.59 goals per game at home and is one of just seven to own a negative goal differential on home ice this season.

Dell allowed two goals on 22 shots in a 7-2 victory against the Oilers on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Similar to Sharks starting goaltender Martin Jones, Dell doesn't have great numbers but has found a way to win more than he's lost this season. Tuesday's game was the same with the Sharks tallying seven goals. Dell improved to 6-5-3 with an .891 save percentage and 3.02 GAA with the victory. But with those stats, Dell is really only useful for wins.

Dell will be the home starter for Tuesday's game versus the Oilers, Jack Michaels of the Oilers Radio Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Although Jones was originally expected to start back-to-back games, the Sharks will send Dell into the blue paint for his first start of the new year.

Dell made one save on the only shot he saw during a brief relief appearance in a 5-2 victory against the Lightning on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

The 29-year-old played 1:15 after Martin Jones gave up his second goal of the night in the second period. This appearance won't have much of an impact on Dell's numbers. He is 5-5-3 with an .890 save percentage and 3.10 GAA this season.

Dell will tend the twine for Monday's divisional showdown in Calgary.

EDGE Analysis

In his third season playing second fiddle to Martin Jones, Dell remains a serviceable backup option. He owns a 2.69 GAA and .904 save percentage in 12 outings this year. Dell will look to pick up his third win in four December appearances while also pushing his Sharks to the top of the Pacific division.
