Reaves scored a goal in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Canucks.

EDGE Analysis

Reaves got to the front of the net and tallied the opening goal at 6:11 of the first period. The 38-year-old winger was scratched for a couple of games earlier in December, and his tally Saturday ended a 23-game point drought than spanned two months. He plays on the fourth line when he's in the lineup, and he's earned just three goals with 18 shots on net, 113 hits, 21 PIM and a minus-7 rating across 32 appearances this season.

Reaves (upper body) will be in the lineup against Pittsburgh on Saturday, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.

EDGE Analysis

Reaves sustained an injury in Thursday's 3-2 overtime win over Toronto, but he won't miss any playing time. While occupying a fourth-line role, he has provided two goals, 16 shots on net, 92 hits and 19 PIM in 26 appearances this season.

Reaves is dealing with an upper-body injury and will be a game-time decision ahead of Saturday's clash with Pittsburgh, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.

EDGE Analysis

According to Peng, Reaves wasn't on the ice for Friday's optional skate, though whether that rules him out versus Pittsburgh remains to be seen. Considering the gritty forward has managed just two points in 26 games this season, his potential absence is unlikely to have a significant fantasy impact. If Reaves can't go Saturday, it could open up a spot in the lineup for Zack Ostapchuk.

Reaves (lower body) will return to action versus Winnipeg on Friday, Max Miller of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Reaves is back in the lineup following a three-game stint on the shelf due to his lower-body injury. Prior to his absence, the veteran forward was averaging a mere 6:42 of ice time in a bottom-six role, so fantasy managers probably should be looking elsewhere to bolster their rosters.

Reaves (lower body) was put on injured reserve Sunday, according to Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News.

EDGE Analysis

The Sharks recalled Ethan Cardwell in a corresponding move. Reaves is day-to-day after being injured in Thursday's 5-2 win over New Jersey. He will miss his second straight game against Detroit on Sunday, and it's unclear when he will be ready to return. Reaves has two goals, six shots on net, 37 hits and 10 PIM across 10 appearances this season.

Reaves (lower body) will undergo further evaluation Saturday, per Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Reaves isn't expected to play in Saturday's clash against Colorado, and there is concern that his injury might be significant. The 38-year-old has two goals, 10 PIM and 37 hits in 10 appearances this year. Michael Misa was a healthy scratch for Thursday's 5-2 win over New Jersey, but he'll probably draw back into the lineup Saturday.

Reaves (lower body) didn't finish Thursday's game versus the Devils and will be evaluated in the coming days, Max Miller of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Reaves was held out of the third period because of the injury. His status for Saturday's game versus the Avalanche will be determined after further testing is completed. Should Reaves miss time, Michael Misa will likely draw back into the lineup.

Reaves scored a goal in Sunday's 6-5 overtime win over the Wild.

EDGE Analysis

Reaves made the most of his 3:42 of ice time, which was a season low. He's up to two goals on four shots while adding 31 hits, 10 PIM and a minus-2 rating over eight appearances. The Sharks are leaning heavily on their top forwards, so a fourth-line winger like Reaves is likely to remain heavily limited in terms of ice time.

Reaves scored a goal and added a fighting major in Saturday's 7-6 overtime loss to the Ducks.

EDGE Analysis

Reaves made some noise in the first period, first with a goal 11:12 into the game and then a fight against Ross Johnston a few minutes later. The 38-year-old Reaves has held down a fourth-line role to start 2025-26, adding six hits over two games. He may not be an everyday presence in the lineup, especially if Michael Misa holds onto a spot once Misa makes his NHL debut.

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

EDGE Analysis

Reaves' role at this stage of his career is to bring grit and leadership. That still has some intangible value, but moving to the Sharks doesn't improve his outlook on offense. Look for Reaves to be in the mix for a fourth-line role early in 2025-26, though he could be bumped to the press box if any prospects are more deserving of ice time.
