Sharp (concussion) was back out on the ice Tuesday morning, albeit in a red no-contact jersey.
EDGE Analysis
Sharp has only played in four games this season while missing three times that amount. There's a great degree of variation in terms of how quickly a player can return from a concussion, but we'd imagine that Sharp will need to participate in multiple practices once he gets cleared for contact. If your fantasy league has an IR spot, that's where the veteran winger should be.

Coach Lindy Ruff indicated Saturday that Sharp (concussion) has yet to be cleared and isn't in consideration to play Sunday against the Canucks, the Dallas Morning News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Sharp will need to clear the concussion protocol before he has a chance to return to the lineup and he's yet to do so.With both he and Jason Spezza (lower body) likely out again Sunday the Stars will once again be hurting for offensive firepower. Sharp will now set his sights on potentially returning Tuesday against the Devils.

Sharp (concussion) will not play Thursday night's game in Calgary but may be ready to play Sunday in Vancouver, Mike Heika of the Dallas Morning News reports.
EDGE Analysis
With five other Stars' forwards still injured, the team will be thrilled to have Sharp's veteran leadership back soon. The 34-year-old posted only one assist before suffering the concussion, so he'll need to make up some ground if he wants to come close to the 55 points he scored last year.

Sharp (concussion) has yet to resume skating, though he was on the ice shooting the puck Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
This appears to a baby step for Sharp as he recovers from his concussion issue. Counting Sharp, the Stars currently have five forwards on injured reserve, prompting the team to bring in reserves from AHL Texas.

Sharp (concussion) was placed on the IR on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Concussions are always difficult to judge in terms of return timetables, but the minimum days out for a player on IR is seven days. However, depending on the severity, it could be a number of weeks after that, so Sharp owners should keep their eyes peeled next Thursday for more information.

Sharp (concussion) will not play Saturday against the Blue Jackets.
EDGE Analysis
Sharp is just the latest member of the Stars to be sidelined due to injury, but perhaps comes as the biggest blow to the team's offensive abilities. Although he has just one assist through the first four games, the winger is certainly capable of registering his fourth consecutive season with 40+ points. The veteran has not been ruled out for Tuesday's matchup with the Jets, but with concussion timelines notoriously difficult to pin down, owners may want to plan for more than a one-game absence.

Sharp left Thursday's game against Los Angeles in the second period following NHL concussion protocol, Mike Heika of the Dallas Morning News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Time will tell if Sharp is actually concussed, but for now the Stars are being cautious with the winger. If he does have a concussion, depending on the severity, he could be out for a few weeks or just day-to-day, so this will be a situation to monitor.

Sharp dealt with a separated shoulder this season.
EDGE Analysis
Ah, yes. Now that the Stars have been eliminated from the playoffs, the team is divulging more specifics on player injuries to the media. Sharp missed six games in mid-March, but that was due to a lower-body ailment. The veteran played in every postseason contest, though it's worth noting that his ice time average fell all the way to 14:48 in the last two games of the conference semifinals against the Blues. For perspective, Sharp averaged 17:37 on the season. If you roster the 34-year-old in keeper leagues, don't fret about his separated shoulder since he played through the malady and now has an offseason to rest.

Sharp scored on the power play and assisted on Cody Eakin's overtime winner for a two-point night Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
The wily veteran pulled through for his team to even up the series at 2-2, scoring his first two points of the series. He was held without a point with a minus-4 rating entering Game 4. He's expected to play a major role if the Stars want to advance to the western Conference Final.

Sharp scored his third goal of the playoffs and added an assist in Sunday's series-clinching Game 6 win over the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
A strong showing from Sharp, who also fired four shots on goal. The veteran lit the lamp twice in Game 3, but was held off the scoresheet in four of the six first-round games. The 34-year-old is a proven playoff scorer who will be a key player for the Stars in the second round, especially if they end up playing Sharp's former team the Blackhawks.
