Schlemko (upper body) is not yet ready to return to the lineup for Saturday's contest against the Red Wings, Curtis Pashelka of Bay Area News Group reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Sharks are on the road Tuesday versus Edmonton, which means the team should provide some details on Schlemko's availability for that matchup after practice Monday. Even when healthy, the blueliner has often been scratched from the lineup. Without regular ice time, the 29-year-old remains a low-end fantasy option once cleared to play.

Schlemko (upper body) won't be in the lineup for Thursday's game against Minnesota, Kevin Kurz of CSN Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

Schlemko will miss a second consecutive game Thursday, and remains without a clear-cut timetable for his return to San Jose's lineup. The 29-year-old blueliner will hope to return to action Saturday against Detroit.

Schlemko (upper body) has been ruled out for Tuesday night's clash with the Kings, Kevin Kurz of CSN Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Sharks' defensive corps will be without two of their regulars Tuesday as Marc-Edouard Vlasic (face) will also not play. As such, Brenden Dillon could see an expanded role on the second defensive pairing and Mirco Mueller is set to make his season debut.

Schlemko didn't practice Monday and is day-to-day with an upper-body injury, CSN Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

As such, his status for Tuesday's tilt with the rival Kings is in question, with head coach Peter DeBoer adding that "we'll see tomorrow when Schlemko wakes up." Fellow rearguard Marc-Edouard Vlasic is out as well for at least the next week with a facial injury, so the team recalled Mirco Mueller on Monday in a corresponding move to help shore up their back end.

Schlemko registered a power-play goal, adding an assist and a plus-2 rating during Friday's 4-2 win against the Canadiens.

EDGE Analysis

Schlemko has now picked up a goal and two helpers in his last two contests after earning just two points in the blueliner's previous eight. The 29-year-old rarely lights up the box score and should continue to stay off the fantasy radar.

Schlemko (ankle) told reporters he would be ready for Tuesday's matchup with Toronto, Kevin Kurz of CSN Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

Schlemko has been sidelined for the Sharks' last three outings, but will get the chance to register his first goal of the season against the Leafs. With just five points on the year, the blueliner is not exactly a fantasy stud and can likely be left out of your lineups in favor of other defensive options in most formats.

Schlemko (undisclosed) is inactive for Saturday's game with the Hurricanes.

EDGE Analysis

Schlemko will miss a third consecutive game as he continues to be bothered by an undisclosed ailment sustained on Dec. 2. The 29-year-old has tallied just five points over 24 games this season and will therefore not be missed by the majority of fantasy owners. The next opportunity for the blueliner to draw into the lineup will be Tuesday against the Maple Leafs.

Schlemko is considered doubtful for Friday's game in Anaheim with an ankle injury, Kevin Kurz of CSN Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

We'll be sure to update Schlemko's status if he is cleared to play prior to puck drop, but it appears that he is primed to watch Friday night's game from the press box. The 29-year-old's injury isn't thought to be serious, so there's a good chance that he'll suit up against the Hurricanes on Saturday if he doesn't go Friday.

Schlemko is day-to-day with an undisclosed injury, Kevin Kurz of CSN Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

Schlemko has been absent from the scoresheet for much of the season with just five helpers in 24 appearances. The blueliner has never been a consistent scorer, but fantasy owners may have been drawn in by his career high number from the 2015-16 campaign. When cleared to return, it is probably best to avoid relying on the 29-year-old for much in terms of offensive production. With Schlemko out, Dylan DeMelo will replace him in the Sharks' third defensive pairing.

The Sharks "dodged a bullet" with Schlemko after he left Friday's game with an apparent leg injury, Kevin Kurz of CSN Bay Area reports, relaying from assistant coach Steve Spott that the defender "should be fine."

EDGE Analysis

This is certainly a positive development, and Schlemko will benefit from the Sharks not having another game until Dec. 7.
