Wennberg pocketed two assists in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Canadiens.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran center recorded his first points in three games since play resumed after the 4 Nations Face-Off. Wennberg hadn't produced a multi-point performance since Nov. 21, and on the season he's managed eight goals and 25 points in 55 appearances. If 19-year-old linemate Will Smith keeps heating up though, Wennberg could be positioned to take advantage.

Wennberg (upper body) will be good to return Sunday versus Calgary, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Wennberg has eight goals and 23 points over 52 appearances in 2024-25. He missed the Sharks' previous four games due to the injury. Walker Duehr is projected to be a healthy scratch against the Flames after playing in the Sharks' past seven games.

Wennberg (upper body) has "one more hurdle to cover" but is likely to play Sunday versus the Flames, Max Miller of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wennberg's recovery has him on track to return shortly -- he has already missed four games. The 30-year-old's status should be updated again in the coming days once he is officially cleared. Wennberg's return should help replenish the Sharks' center depth after they traded Mikael Granlund to the Stars on Feb. 1.

Wennberg (upper body) is not expected back prior to the 4 Nations Face-Off, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Wennberg has already missed two games due to his upper-body issue and now will be on the shelf for at least two more. Prior to his absence, the 30-year-old center was stuck in a 19-game goal drought during which he notched seven assists, 13 shots and 16 blocks while averaging 17:32 of ice time.

Wennberg (upper body) is doubtful for Tuesday's game against Montreal, per Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now.
EDGE Analysis
It would be Wennberg's second straight game out of the lineup due to the injury. He has eight goals and 23 points in 52 outings in 2024-25. If he misses Tuesday's clash, then his next opportunity to return would be Thursday versus Vancouver.

Wennberg recorded an assist and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 6-5 loss to the Predators.
EDGE Analysis
Wennberg set up a Henry Thrun tally in the second period. After a two-game stint on the wing, Wennberg was back at center on the third line, which corresponded with Tyler Toffoli's return from a lower-body injury. Wennberg has gone 17 games without a goal, but he has seven assists in that span, including three helpers over his last six outings. The center is at 23 points, 58 shots, 49 blocked shots and a minus-14 rating through 50 appearances this season.

Wennberg provided an assist in Tuesday's 7-5 loss to the Predators.
EDGE Analysis
Wennberg has two helpers over five contests since he returned from a one-game absence due to an illness. The 30-year-old center moved to the wing for the Sharks' back-to-back in Boston and Nashville. One of Wennberg or Mikael Granlund has often been shifted to the wing at times to stay in the top six. For the season, Wennberg has done pretty well with 22 points, 58 shots on net, 48 blocked shots and a minus-16 rating through 49 appearances.

EDGE Analysis
Wennberg missed Saturday's game against the Wild due to an illness, but he's set to travel with the Sharks ahead of their upcoming five-game road trip, and head coach Ryan Warsofsky said that he expects the 30-year-old to play in Detroit. Over four appearances in January, Wennberg has recorded two assists, two blocked shots, a hit and a minus-2 rating while averaging 17:45 of ice time.
