Tierney scored a power-play goal and added a helper in Thursday's win over the Flames.

EDGE Analysis

The return of linemate Joonas Donskoi (undisclosed) bodes well for Tierney, as the third line looked lethal against the Flames. The 23-year-old is up to 13 points in 30 games and is sporting a tidy plus-5 rating. Tierney's role as a depth scorer and contributor on the second power-play unit make him worth owning in some deeper formats.

Tierney scored the game-winning goal during Friday's 2-1 victory over Florida.

EDGE Analysis

This was the third goal in four games for Tierney, and he's now up to seven tallies and 10 points through 24 games this season. While the 23-year-old center is on pace for a career-best offensive campaign, he's still unlikely to provide viable numbers for the majority of fantasy settings. It will probably take a promotion into a top-six role or power-play time for Tierney to warrant attention in most formats.

Tierney scored shorthanded and later scored on a penalty shot in Saturday's win over the Canucks.

EDGE Analysis

It was certainly an unusual night in San Jose, as the Sharks scored three times shorthanded and Tierney was awarded a penalty shot late in the game on a play that didn't seem like it even warranted a two-minute penalty. Tierney will take it, however, as he's now up to four goals and seven points in 15 contests. The third-liner has a strong enough shot that he's valuable in some deeper formats, but his lack of power-play time and previous career high of 23 points make him one to avoid in most fantasy settings.

Tierney contributed a goal and an assist in Thursday's 3-2 win over Buffalo.

EDGE Analysis

The third line of Tierney, Timo Meier and Joonas Donskoi was instrumental in San Jose's first win of the season. Each member of the trio contributed two points despite skating fewer than 13 minutes apiece. Tierney's first-period goal gave his team a 2-1 lead while his second-period assist set up Meier's game-winner.

Tierney, who was a restricted free agent, signed his qualifying offer from the Sharks on Monday, Renaud Lavoie of Le Journal de Montreal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Tierney's deal is a one-year pact worth $735,000. The center recorded 11 goals and 12 assists in 80 games for the Sharks last season. If the 37-year-old Joe Thornton (knee-ACL) is unable to recover in time for the start of the regular season, Tierney could be in for an uptick in playing time out of the gate.

Tierney scored two goals Tuesday in a 5-4 overtime win over the Rangers. He sat out the previous contest with an upper-body injury.

EDGE Analysis

The fourth-liner returned to the ice in style, also firing five shots on goal and skating to a plus-3. Tierney has now cracked the 20-point plateau in each of his first three NHL seasons and has displayed development with a continued increase in ice time (up to 14:32 on average this year).

Tierney (upper body) is in line to play Tuesday against the Rangers, CSN Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

In his anticipated return to action, look for Tierney to center the Sharks' fourth line Tuesday, flanked by Timo Meier and Joonas Donskoi. The 22-year-old's fantasy impact has been modest this season, as he recorded just 18 points and four PIM in 73 games to date.

Tierney (upper body) did not play in Saturday's game against the Predators due to an upper-body ailment, Curtis Pashelka of Bay Area News Group reports.

EDGE Analysis

The fourth liner just missed time due to an illness, now he is back on the shelf again. When healthy he isn't a high-value option for fantasy owners.

Tierney (illness) is in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Wild.

EDGE Analysis

Tierney is centering the fourth line with Michael Haley and Timo Meier, while Danny O'Regan takes a seat in the press box. He has managed just 18 points and 77 shots on goal through 71 games, so Tierney isn't a high-value option in fantasy pools.

Tierney did not dress Monday against the Stars as he is dealing with the flu, Kevin Kurz of CSN Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

Tierney is a fixture in the Sharks' lineup -- having played in 71 games this year -- but he's only managed a paltry 18 points and 77 shots on goal with an average ice time of 14:37. Assuming his ailment isn't that serious, he could return Tuesday in Minnesota, but if not, Friday's road date with the Stars would be his next opportunity to suit up.
