Kurashev (upper body) will accompany the Sharks on the team's upcoming five-game road trip, according to Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Kurashev participated in Sunday's practice and could play near the end of San Jose's trip, which begins against Vancouver on Tuesday and ends against Colorado on Feb. 4. He has missed the last 17 games and remains on injured reserve. Kurashev has registered six goals, 15 points, 49 shots on net and 30 hits in 31 appearances this season.

Kurashev (upper body) won't be with the Sharks when they leave for a four-game road trip, Max Miller of NHL.com reports, though he could join up later if cleared.

EDGE Analysis

Kurashev has been out of action since getting hurt Dec. 13 versus the Penguins, a stretch of 12 games on injured reserve. Prior to getting hurt, the winger was mired in a 12-game goal drought, during which he generated a mere 11 shots to go with three helpers.

Kurashev (upper body) is week-to-week, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

After being placed on injured reserve Monday, Kurashev will miss at least the next three games, starting with Tuesday's matchup against Calgary. However, his week-to-week status suggests he could be out for longer than that. The 26-year-old forward has registered six goals, 15 points, 49 shots on net and 30 hits through 31 appearances this season. With Kurashev and Will Smith (undisclosed) unavailable, Igor Chernyshov and Collin Graf will join Macklin Celebrini on the top line for Tuesday's contest.

Kurashev (upper body) was designated for injured reserve Monday, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kurashev is mired in a 12-game goal drought, during which he has recorded three assists, 11 shots on net and 13 hits while averaging 13:59 of ice time. The forward injuries are starting to pile up for the Sharks, as Will Smith (undisclosed) was also placed on injured reserve Monday, joining Michael Misa (ankle). William Eklund and Collin Graf should both see more ice time while Kurashev is on the shelf.

Kurashev (upper body) won't return to Saturday's game against Pittsburgh.

EDGE Analysis

Kurashev logged only 8:03 of ice time in Saturday's contest before his exit. He entered the matchup with six goals and 15 points in 30 appearances. If Kurashev can't play against Calgary on Tuesday, Zack Ostapchuk could return to the lineup.

Kurashev scored a goal on three shots and added two hits in Thursday's 4-3 shootout win over the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Kurashev put the Sharks ahead 3-2 late in the second period with his tally, his first goal since he scored twice versus the Avalanche on Nov. 1. The Sharks didn't hold that lead, but Kurashev saved the day with the lone shootout tally to earn the win. The 26-year-old has six goals, 12 points, 38 shots on net, 17 hits and a plus-4 rating through 19 contests this season. Kurashev should be able to produce decent offense as long as he remains in a top-six role.

Kurashev scored two goals, one the overtime winner, in Saturday's 3-2 victory over the Avalanche.

EDGE Analysis

Both goals came in similar fashion, as he snapped shots over Mackenzie Blackwood's glove for the Sharks' last two tallies of the afternoon. Kurashev has found the back of the net in three straight games and has points in four straight, racking up four goals and seven points during that heater. He managed just one goal in his first six contests of 2025-26.

Kurashev scored a goal on three shots, added an assist and went plus-3 in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Devils.

EDGE Analysis

Kurashev is on a roll now with five points over his last three games. He's bounced back well from a two-game stint as a healthy scratch. The 26-year-old is seeing ice time in all situations and playing on the second line at even strength, which gives him a good chance to stay productive on offense. Overall, he has three goals, three assists, 17 shots on net, eight hits, five blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over nine outings this season.

Kurashev scored a goal on four shots, added an assist and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Kurashev earned his first multi-point effort as a Shark. He has three points over his last two contests, which follows a recent two-game stint as a healthy scratch. The 26-year-old is far from a lock to be in the lineup all the time, but he has received top-six minutes and power-play time. He's at four points, 14 shots on net, seven hits, five blocked shots and a plus-1 rating across eight appearances this season.

Kurashev scored a goal on three shots and added two hits in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Golden Knights.

EDGE Analysis

Kurashev got the first look at left wing alongside Macklin Celebrini. That's an interesting spot if he can keep it, but the Sharks have a mix of veterans and youngsters that could take it over if Kurashev slumps. The 25-year-old is a fascinating player -- he had just 14 points in 51 outings in 2024-25, but he put up 18 goals and 54 points over 75 appearances the year before. Fantasy managers can afford to wait and see how Kurashev does in a larger sample, but there is scoring potential in his game.
