Ferraro scored a goal on two shots and added an assist in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Blue Jackets.
EDGE Analysis
Both of Ferraro's points came on empty-netters, as he scored one from the full length of the rink before helping out on Macklin Celebrini's tally. With four points over the last five games, Ferraro has been a little more involved than usual on offense, though it's unlikely to last. The defenseman is at three goals, 11 points, 49 shots on net, 77 hits, 83 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating over 42 appearances, giving him a chance to push for just the second 20-point campaign of his career.

Ferraro scored a goal on two shots, added two PIM, logged three hits and blocked three shots in Monday's 5-4 win over the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
Ferraro has a goal and an assist over his last two contests after snapping an 11-game slump. The shutdown defenseman continues to see top-four minutes for the Sharks, but that won't often lead to steady offense. He's now at two goals, nine points, 44 shots on net, 74 hits, 81 blocks and a minus-2 rating over 39 appearances.

Ferraro recorded an assist, two shots on goal and three hits in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
Ferraro's helper on a Collin Graf empty-netter was the former's first point in 12 outings in December. The 27-year-old Ferraro continues to see top-four minutes as a shutdown presence on the Sharks' blue line. He's now at eight points, 42 shots on net, 71 hits, 78 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating through 38 appearances.

Ferraro recorded an assist and two hits in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Senators.
EDGE Analysis
Ferraro snapped a seven-game point drought with the helper. The 27-year-old defenseman plays a top-four role for the Sharks, but he's there for his defense rather than his offense. On the year, he's at five points, 22 shots on net, 39 hits, 52 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating over 22 contests.

Ferraro scored a goal on two shots and blocked five shots in Saturday's 7-6 overtime loss to the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
Ferraro has a goal, four shots on net and seven blocks over two games this season. While the Sharks made additions to their blue line in the offseason, Ferraro's defensive skill set will keep him in a top-four role. He's logged 100-plus hits in all six of his NHL campaigns and has added at least 125 blocks in four straight seasons. However, he's topped the 20-point mark just once and will likely struggle to get to that level of offense in 2025-26. Ferraro is in a contract year and could be a trade candidate in the likely event the Sharks aren't in the playoff picture in March.

Ferraro (ankle) is playing in the Sharks' scrimmage Thursday, Max Miller of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ferraro's injured ankle didn't need offseason surgery, and it appears that he is back to 100 percent ahead of the 2025-26 campaign. During the scrimmage, Ferraro was paired with Timothy Liljegren, which could be a sign that the duo will link up for the upcoming campaign. For his part, Ferraro should be capable of producing between 15-20 points but provides the bulk of his fantasy value in hits and blocks.

Ferraro's season-ending injury is a broken ankle that won't require surgery, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ferraro was injured Wednesday versus the Wild. He had 17 points, 150 hits, 125 blocked shots, 53 PIM and a minus-25 rating as the Sharks' top shutdown defender this season. Avoiding surgery is a positive sign, and he is expected to have a fairly normal offseason after a 4-6 week recovery from the injury. He'll be entering a contract year in 2025-26, so he could end up being a top trade target in the likely event the Sharks are not in playoff contention.

Ferraro (lower body) will miss San Jose's final four games of the regular season, Max Miller of NHL.com reports Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Ferraro sustained the injury during Wednesday's 8-7 overtime loss to Minnesota. He'll finish the 2024-25 campaign with five goals, 17 points, 53 PIM, 150 hits and 125 blocks in 78 appearances. The Sharks are now down to five healthy defensemen unless Vincent Desharnais (upper body) or Jan Rutta (lower body) can return for Friday's clash against Edmonton. If neither blueliner is available, then San Jose will need to recall a defenseman from the minors.

Ferraro (undisclosed) is doubtful to return to Wednesday's game versus the Wild, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ferraro blocked a shot late in the second period at close range, and it doesn't look like he'll be able to shake it off quickly. The 26-year-old defenseman should be considered questionable for Friday's game versus the Oilers. The Sharks' defense is dealing with multiple injuries and may need to recall Jimmy Schuldt if both of Vincent Desharnais (upper body) or Jan Rutta (lower body) remain out for Friday's contest.
