Wennberg tied the game at 3-3 with 3:14 left in the third period. The 30-year-old center has two goals over his last four contests, but even in a top-six role, his offense remains a little inconsistent.

Wennberg scored a goal on three shots and blocked two shots in Thursday's 6-5 shootout win over the Maple Leafs.
EDGE Analysis
The goal was the 100th of Wennberg's career, which is no small feat for a center best known for his playmaking. The 30-year-old hadn't scored a goal since Dec. 14 versus Utah, a span of 32 appearances in which he still racked up 15 assists and just 22 shots on net. It took Wennberg 778 career games to get 100 goals, and he's never had more than 17 in a season. This year, he's at nine tallies, 32 points, 70 shots on net, 61 blocked shots and a minus-14 rating over 66 outings.

Wennberg provided an assist in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Blackhawks.
EDGE Analysis
Wennberg is continuing to make an impact as a set-up man, earning eight assists over his last eight contests. He delivered a primary helper on the first of Collin Graf's two tallies in Thursday's win. For the season, Wennberg is up to 31 points, 64 shots on net, 58 blocked shots and a minus-13 rating over 62 appearances.

Wennberg notched a power-play assist and two shots on goal in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Islanders.
EDGE Analysis
Wennberg is up to seven assists over his last six games. Two of those helpers have come on the power play, and he also has a plus-4 rating in that span. For the season, Wennberg is at eight goals, 30 points, 64 shots on net, 58 blocked shots and a minus-14 rating through 60 appearances. He's a reliable defensive center, and his contributions on offense are frequently heavy to the playmaking side of the spectrum -- he finished with more goals than assists just once in his first 10 NHL campaigns, and he won't buck that trend this year.

Wennberg produced an assist in Thursday's 7-3 loss to the Avalanche.
EDGE Analysis
Wennberg has been playing in his usual style lately, earning six assists with a plus-4 rating over his last five contests. The 30-year-old has ascended to a top-line role recently, though the Sharks' first and second lines are functionally interchangeable. Wennberg is leading the more veteran trio with William Eklund and Tyler Toffoli, while Macklin Celebrini has been between Fabian Zetterlund and Will Smith. Wennberg is up to 29 points, 62 shots on net, 58 blocked shots and a minus-14 rating over 59 appearances this season. He's one point shy of reaching 30 for the fourth year in a row and the seventh time in his career.

Wennberg recorded two assists in Monday's 3-2 shootout win over the Maple Leafs.
EDGE Analysis
Wennberg didn't find the back of the net in this one, but there's no question he thrived in a playmaking role after participating in the build-up of the team's two third-period goals. This two-helper outing extended his point streak to three games, a span in which he's recorded five assists, three shots on goal and three blocked shots.
