Wennberg notched an assist in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Wennberg's resurgence on offense has seen him pick up five points over his last four games. That's all of his scoring this season, and the center has added 16 shots on net, 11 blocked shots, eight hits and a minus-3 rating through 11 appearances. Wennberg looks set to hold down the second-line center spot until Macklin Celebrini (lower body) is able to return, at which point Wennberg would likely move to the third line.

Wennberg scored a power-play goal on six shots, added an assist and went plus-4 in Monday's 5-4 overtime win over Utah.
EDGE Analysis
Wennberg helped out on Tyler Toffoli's game-tying goal before scoring the game-winner himself at 1:26 of overtime. The standout number here is six shots -- that matches Wennberg's career high for shots in a game, a mark he last achieved Oct. 14, 2014 in his rookie campaign. The playmaking center has four points, 15 shots on net, 10 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating through 10 outings this season, with all of his points coming over the last three contests.

Wennberg logged a pair of power-play assist, two shots on goal and two hits in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
These were Wennberg's first points in eight appearances to begin his Sharks career. The 30-year-old center was signed to a two-year, $10 million contract in free agency, but as a playmaker, he was always likely to struggle with unproven teammates all around him. Wennberg has added nine shots on net, seven blocked shots, five hits and a minus-7 rating. He has more value on the ice than in fantasy as a pass-first, defensive center.

Wennberg agreed to terms on a two-year, $10 million contract with the Sharks on Monday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wennberg barely made the 30-point threshold this past season, needing 79 regular-season games split between the Kraken and Rangers to do it. The 29-year-old center looks poised to slot into a third-line role but could also be shifted to wing if the Sharks want to keep youngster Will Smith in his natural position.

Wennberg scored a goal on two shots in Sunday's 5-4 overtime win over the Panthers in Game 3.
EDGE Analysis
Wennberg tallied 5:35 into the extra session to fend off the Panthers. This was the Rangers' second overtime win in a row, giving them a 2-1 series lead in the Eastern Conference Finals. Playing in a third-line role, Wennberg hasn't generated much on offense with two points through 13 playoff games, but he's added 17 blocked shots and 11 shots on net as a defensively responsible center.

Wennberg produced a secondary assist in Tuesday's 4-3 win over Carolina.
EDGE Analysis
Wennberg helped out on Alexis Lafreniere's goal in the first period. It was the first point of the playoffs for the 29-year-old, as Wennberg is relied upon for depth, not primary scoring. Wennberg has been a solid addition centering Will Cuylle and Kaapo Kakko on the Rangers' third line. The former Kraken player has afforded New York a more balanced attack. So far this postseason, Wennberg has one assist in six games.

Wennberg (undisclosed) will be in the lineup for Game 3 versus Washington on Friday, per Michael Russo of The Athletic.
EDGE Analysis
Wennberg took a maintenance day Thursday, but he was back on the ice for morning skate Friday. The 29--year-old will center the third line between Will Cuylle and Kaapo Kakko while seeing second-unit power-play time in Game 3. Wennberg had only one goal and four assists in 19 games with the Rangers following his trade from Seattle on March 6.

Wennberg is questionable to face the Capitals for Game 3 on Friday with an undisclosed injury, Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wennerg's absence from Thursday's practice was deemed maintenance and he was on the ice for an optional game-day skate Friday, so coach Peter Laviolette may just be playing it coy about Wennberg's availability. Still, it's a situation that fantasy players will have to monitor prior to puck drop. If Wennberg can't go Friday, Jonny Brodzinski figures to have the inside track for a spot in the lineup.

Wennberg was a plus-1 with one shot during Thursday's 3-2 shootout win over Colorado.
EDGE Analysis
Wennberg missed Tuesday's game due to the birth of his child. The recent acquisition has a goal and four assists through 10 games since joining the Rangers.

Wennberg (personal) is back with the Rangers ahead of Thursday's game versus Colorado, per Peter Baugh of The Athletic.
EDGE Analysis
Wennberg missed Tuesday's tilt against the Flyers as his wife gave birth earlier in the week. Should Wennberg reenter the lineup against the Avalanche, look for Jonny Brodzinski to be a healthy scratch. Wennberg has a goal and four points in nine games with New York following his trade from Seattle, where he managed nine goals and 25 points in 60 appearances.
