Wennberg notched a power-play assist and went minus-2 in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
Wennberg has four helpers over his last eight games, and two of them have come on the power play. The 30-year-old center helped out on a William Eklund tally in the second period of this contest. Wennberg is in the middle six at even strength but also routinely sees power-play time. For the season, he has 20 points (eight on the power play), 52 shots on net, 41 blocked shots and a minus-11 rating over 43 appearances. He's short of a 40-point pace, but a strong second half could get him there for the first time since 2016-17.

Wennberg notched a power-play assist and blocked two shots in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
Wennberg set up Macklin Celebrini for the Sharks' lone goal in the second period. The 30-year-old Wennberg has had a couple of bursts of offense this season, but he's been limited to four points over 12 outings in December. He's at 18 points (seven on the power play), 51 shots on net, 41 blocked shots and a minus-10 rating through 39 contests overall.

Wennberg scored a goal on three shots in Saturday's 4-3 loss to Utah.
EDGE Analysis
Wennberg has two goals over six games in December. He continues to find twine at an impressive rate this year -- he's at eight goals through 33 contests, shooting 18.2 percent. Last year, he scored just 10 times over 79 regular-season outings between the Kraken and the Rangers. Wennberg has added eight assists, 44 shots on net, 35 blocked shots and a minus-9 rating in 2024-25, production that makes him a viable option in deeper fantasy formats since he's also seeing power-play time.

Wennberg scored a goal and blocked two shots in Thursday's 8-1 loss to the Lightning.
EDGE Analysis
Wennberg was one of four Sharks to avoid finishing the game with a negative plus-minus rating. His tally 14 seconds into the third period broke up Andrei Vasilevskiy's shutout bid, though it was far too late to change the result. Wennberg has four goals and four assists over his last 10 outings, a remarkable run of offense for a middle-six center on a weak team. He's up to seven goals, 15 points, 37 shots on net, 30 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating over 29 appearances.

Wennberg scored a power-play goal in Monday's 7-2 win over the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Wennberg has three goals and three assists over his last five games, and three of the six points in that span have come on the power play. The 30-year-old center played a season-high 22:28 in this contest, picking up a lot of the slack created by the absence of Mikael Granlund (upper body). Wennberg can add depth offense but is more of a two-way center. He's at 13 points (six on the power play), 30 shots on net, 19 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating across 24 appearances, and he'll likely be in the top six as long as Granlund is out.

Wennberg provided an assist in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Sabres.
EDGE Analysis
Wennberg has two goals and three assists over his last four contests. The center has been flanked by Luke Kunin and Tyler Toffoli recently, and that's a line combination that can play a strong two-way game. Wennberg is up to five goals, seven helpers, 29 shots on net, 18 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating over 23 appearances. He'll likely stay on the third line as long as both Mikael Granlund and Macklin Celebrini stay healthy.

Wennberg scored twice, once on the power play, in Thursday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Blues.
EDGE Analysis
Wennberg scored on the power play in the opening frame before tying the score at 2-2 with just nine seconds left in the third period to send the game to overtime. The Swedish forward could be turning the corner on offense -- he's registered multi-point outings in two of his last three games. Wennberg has compiled five goals, six assists, four PIM, 29 shots, 18 blocks, 13 hits and seven takeaways through 22 contests.

Wennberg registered two assists, including one on the power play, in Monday's 5-4 overtime win over the Red Wings.
EDGE Analysis
Wennberg snapped a five-game point drought when he set up William Eklund's first goal of the contest, and he added another helper on a Tyler Toffoli goal. Through the first 20 games, Wennberg has been extremely streaky in a middle-six role -- he's had two extended droughts sandwiched around a stretch of seven points in seven games. The playmaking center has three goals, six helpers, 27 shots on net, 15 blocked shots, 12 hits and a minus-2 rating.

EDGE Analysis

Wennberg is up to three goals, seven points, 21 shots on net, 13 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating over 14 appearances.
