Thrun was recalled from AHL Toronto on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Thrun has been putting up decent numbers in the minors, generating three goals and six helpers in 19 appearances with the Marlies. With Dakota Mermis (lower body) on injured reserve and Morgan Rielly under the weather, the 24-year-old Thrun could be pressed into service versus the Sharks on Thursday.

Thrun was placed on waivers by the Maple Leafs, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Thrun, acquired in a trade over the offseason by Toronto, will likely begin his Maple Leafs tenure in the AHL, assuming he clears waivers. In 60 games with San Jose last year, the 24-year-old had two goals and 10 assists while averaging 17:31 of ice time.

Thrun was traded to the Maple Leafs from the Sharks on Thursday in exchange for Ryan Reaves.

EDGE Analysis

This is a bit of an odd trade on the surface for the Sharks, and one that may not benefit Thrun on an individual level. San Jose's offseason acquisitions of John Klingberg, Nick Leddy and Dmitry Orlov brought a more veteran group of defenders into the mix, which may have left Thrun without a regular role in 2025-26. That said, he's no lock to play with his new team, and he almost certainly won't be in the power-play mix immediately with Toronto. Thrun had 12 points in 60 appearances in 2024-25, and if he can't win a job in training camp, he may have to spend part of the year with AHL Toronto.

Thrun scored a goal and blocked three shots in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Oilers.

EDGE Analysis

Thrun has a goal and an assist over his last two contests. His second-period tally Friday tied the game at 2-2, and it stayed there until Corey Perry put the Oilers ahead again in the third. Thrun is up to two goals, a career-high 12 points, 50 shots on net, 62 blocked shots, 39 hits, 30 PIM and a minus-20 rating across 57 appearances.

Thrun managed an assist and two blocked shots in Wednesday's 8-7 overtime loss to the Wild.

EDGE Analysis

This was Thrun's first helper in four games since he returned from an upper-body injury that cost him 13 of 14 games between March 1 and April 1. The defenseman is up to 11 points in 56 appearances, matching his scoring output from 51 games a year ago. He's added 49 shots on net, 59 blocked shots, 39 hits and a minus-20 rating in 2024-25.

Thrun (upper body) will return to the lineup Thursday versus Edmonton, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thrun has missed nine straight games and 13 of the last 14 contests with the injury. Thrun has one goal and nine assists across 52 appearances with the Sharks this season. Shakir Mukhamadullin who suffered an upper-body injury Tuesday, is expected to miss Thursday's tilt and be replaced by Thrun in the lineup.

Thrun (upper body) is considered a game-time decision for Thursday's matchup against Edmonton, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thrun has missed 13 of the Sharks' last 14 games due to his injury, but he's trending toward a return to game action. However, head coach Ryan Warsofsky said Wednesday that he isn't yet sure whether Thrun will be able to suit up against the Oilers. Even if Thrun requires at least one more game on the shelf, it seems possible that he could return Saturday against Seattle or Monday against Calgary.

Head coach Ryan Warsofsky said Friday that Thrun (upper body) has been upgraded to day-to-day but won't suit up Saturday against the Rangers or Sunday against the Kings, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thrun aggravated his upper-body injury in the first half of March, and he was initially considered week-to-week. While he seems to be trending in the right direction, the 24-year-old will be unavailable for at least two more games, making his next chance to return Tuesday against the Ducks. Lucas Carlsson will likely continue to see playing time for the Sharks while Thrun remains sidelined.

Thrun (upper body) was labeled week-to-week Tuesday, per Max Miller of NHL.com.

EDGE Analysis

Jimmy Schuldt is set to serve on the third pairing Tuesday against Nashville in what will be his second career NHL appearance due to Thrun's absence. The 23-year-old Thrun has contributed one goal and nine helpers across 52 games in 2024-25.

Thrun aggravated his upper-body injury during Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Islanders and is slated to miss time, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thrun recently missed four games due to his upper-body injury, and while it's not yet clear how much time he'll miss after aggravating the issue, head coach Ryan Warsofsky said that the defenseman will be "out a little bit." Jimmy Schuldt will likely draw into the lineup while Thrun is unavailable.
