MacDonald scored a goal on two shots in Saturday's 7-4 loss to the Canucks.

EDGE Analysis

MacDonald got the Sharks within a goal in the third period, but they got no closer. The 30-year-old has tallied twice over the last four contests after sitting two games as a healthy scratch. He's bounced around between a bottom-six forward role and a third-pairing role on defense based on the personnel the Sharks have available for any given game. MacDonald is at six goals -- double what he had over his first four NHL campaigns combined -- with one assist, 31 shots on net, 14 hits, 21 PIM and a minus-10 rating through 17 outings.

MacDonald scored a power-play goal on three shots and blocked two shots in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

MacDonald broke up David Rittich's shutout bid with a goal at 18:41 of the third period. The 30-year-old MacDonald had been scratched in a couple of recent games, and he was ejected early in his last outing Sunday versus the Avalanche. He returned to defense Tuesday after spending much of the season as a winger, filling in on the third pairing with Calen Addison (lower body) and Jan Rutta (illness) out. MacDonald has five goals, one assist, 26 shots on net, 21 PIM and a minus-9 rating over 15 appearances.

MacDonald scored a pair of goals on three shots in Friday's 6-3 win over the Devils.

EDGE Analysis

MacDonald had been held off the scoresheet in six games since returning from an undisclosed injury. The 30-year-old continues to be deployed as a forward for the Sharks, though his bottom-six role in a weak offense negates any fantasy benefit from his potential multi-position eligibility. MacDonald has three goals, one assist, 16 shots on net, nine hits and a minus-8 rating through nine appearances so far.

MacDonald (undisclosed) will be activated from injured reserve ahead of his return to the lineup Monday against Vancouver, per Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now.

EDGE Analysis

MacDonald, who was put on the injured reserve list Wednesday, also missed the start of the campaign because of an undisclosed injury.

MacDonald (undisclosed) was put on the injured reserve list Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

MacDonald was activated off the injured reserve Oct. 31, but after recording a goal and two points in two contests with the Sharks, he wasn't in the lineup Tuesday versus Philadelphia. It's possible MacDonald's placement on injured reserve might be retroactive to his last contest Saturday. If that's the case, then he'd be eligible to be activated for Sunday's game against Anaheim.

MacDonald scored a goal on three shots, added an assist and went minus-4 in Saturday's 10-2 loss to the Penguins.

EDGE Analysis

Both of MacDonald's points came on the power play. The defenseman-turned-winger has been in the lineup in each of the last two games, going minus-5 with two points, six shots on goal and a pair of blocked shots. MacDonald started on the fourth line Saturday but took some shifts with Tomas Hertl as the contest progressed. Whether he can stick on the power play or in the top six remains to be seen, but the Sharks figure to be creative after giving up 20 goals over the last two contests.

MacDonald (undisclosed) was activated off injured reserve Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

MacDonald has yet to play this year due to an undisclosed injury, but it looks like he's now fully healthy, so he should be available for Thursday's game versus Vancouver. The 30-year-old defender picked up six points through 25 games as a rotational, bottom-pairing option for San Jose in 2022-23, a role he'll likely reprise in 2023-24.

MacDonald (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Monday, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's unclear when MacDonald was injured or what he's dealing with but he'll miss at least three games to begin the season. The 30-year-old blueliner tallied eight points in 58 games with San Jose and Colorado last year.

MacDonald notched an assist and three shots on goal in Thursday's 6-2 loss to the Avalanche.

EDGE Analysis

MacDonald was able to get on the scoresheet against his former team when he helped out on a Steven Lorentz tally in the second period. Through three games in April, MacDonald has three assists, five shots on net and three hits. The 30-year-old has been deployed as a forward while the Sharks deal with injuries to a number of wingers. He has eight points, 68 shots on net, 58 hits, 40 blocked shots and a minus-10 rating through 54 contests between the Sharks and the Avalanche this season.
