Barclay Goodrow

Fri 4/3/26 2:16 AM

Goodrow logged an assist and four hits in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Maple Leafs.
EDGE Analysis
Goodrow was limited to one assist over his previous 16 games after his Feb. 28 goal versus the Oilers. The 33-year-old forward remains a regular on the Sharks' fourth line, providing grit and defensive skill with little scoring upside. He's at five goals, seven assists, 63 shots on net, 125 hits, 54 blocked shots, 71 PIM and a minus-14 rating over 74 appearances.

Adam Gaudette
C/RW SJ
Fri 4/3/26 2:13 AM

Gaudette scored an empty-net goal on three shots, blocked three shots and went plus-2 in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Maple Leafs.
EDGE Analysis
Gaudette has three goals over the last six games. The 29-year-old forward is up to 17 goals, 25 points, 91 shots on net, 49 hits, 32 blocked shots and a minus-7 rating over 61 appearances this season. Gaudette has primarily featured in a bottom-six role in his first year with the Sharks, but he has a knack for scoring goals, giving him some value in deep fantasy formats.

Alexander Nikishin
D CAR
Fri 4/3/26 2:12 AM

Nikishin scored a shorthanded goal Thursday in a 5-1 win over the Blue Jackets.
EDGE Analysis
Nikishin's shorthanded goal was the first by a rookie defenseman in franchise history, including the Hartford Whalers period. He sits 13th in rookie scoring overall this season (11 goals, 19 assists). Nikishin has returned the top power-play role to Shayne Gostisbehere, but it's clear he has the ability to play maestro with the man advantage. His future as a true number one will arrive very soon.

Collin Graf
W SJ
Fri 4/3/26 2:11 AM

Graf scored a goal on two shots and added two hits in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Maple Leafs.
EDGE Analysis
Graf had gone eight games without a goal prior to Thursday. He snapped a seven-game point drought with a helper Wednesday versus the Ducks before netting his 20th goal of the campaign in Thursday's win. This was also Graf's fourth game-winner of the season. The versatile 23-year-old has 42 points, 108 shots on net, 75 hits, 47 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over 73 appearances. With the Sharks nearly at full health at forward, expect Graf to see most of his time on the third line for the rest of the campaign.

Zack Ostapchuk
C SJ
Fri 4/3/26 2:09 AM

Ostapchuk scored a goal, dished an assist, added four hits, blocked two shots and went plus-2 in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Maple Leafs.
EDGE Analysis
Ostapchuk snapped his 16-game point drought with a goal just 3:27 into the contest. He also helped out on Adam Gaudette's empty-netter. Ostapchuk's performance Thursday was the first multi-point game of his career. The 22-year-old is up to four goals, three assists, 39 shots on net, 121 hits, 26 blocked shots, 41 PIM and a minus-8 rating through 51 appearances in a fourth-line role this season.

William Eklund
C/LW SJ
Fri 4/3/26 2:05 AM

Eklund scored a goal on two shots, dished an assist and went plus-2 in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Maple Leafs.
EDGE Analysis
Eklund ended a 10-game goal drought with his second-period tally. He had three assists and a minus-11 rating during the scoring slump. The 23-year-old winger is up to 13 goals, 45 points, 163 shots on net, 63 hits, 50 blocked shots and a minus-33 rating over 70 appearances. He's taken a step back compared to his 58-point campaign in 2024-25, but Eklund has been trusted due to his two-way play in a top-six role.

Taylor Hall
LW CAR
Fri 4/3/26 2:03 AM

Hall delivered two assists in a 5-1 win over Columbus on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Hall has four assists in his last four games and 10 (one goal, nine assists) in his last 16 games. His 42 points (75 games) equal his output between Chicago and Carolina last season (77 games). Hall's fantasy value is limited to deep, large leagues given his sluggish production. But the 34-year-old is just 16 games from the 1,000 game milestone, and that's worth lauding.

Alex Nedeljkovic
G SJ
Fri 4/3/26 2:02 AM

Nedeljkovic stopped 18 of 19 shots in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Maple Leafs.
EDGE Analysis
Nedeljkovic has won his last two outings, part of a larger four-game winning streak that has the Sharks making their presence felt in the playoff race. He limited the damage Thursday to a John Tavares power-play goal in the second period. Nedeljkovic is up to 15-13-4 with a 2.91 GAA and an .894 save percentage over 36 appearances this season. Yaroslav Askarov is likely to get most of the starts down the stretch, but the Sharks still have two back-to-back sets on the schedule, so Nedeljkovic won't be completely out of the mix. The team has a critical matchup ahead when the Predators visit San Jose on Saturday.

Sebastian Aho
C CAR
Fri 4/3/26 1:48 AM

Aho had two assists Thursday in a 5-1 win over Columbus.
EDGE Analysis
The first helper came shorthanded. The second was on the power play. The second was Aho's 400th NHL assist. He is on a four-game, five-assist streak (eight shots), and his 77 points (25 goals, 52 assists) in 75 games put him on course for his fourth 80-plus point season.

Pierre-Luc Dubois
C/LW WSH
Fri 4/3/26 1:11 AM

Dubois tallied a power-play goal, distributed an assist and put four shots on net in Thursday's 7-3 loss to New Jersey.
EDGE Analysis
Dubois followed up his four-point night from Tuesday with another pair of points. He tied the game at two goals apiece with his power-play twine finder midway through the first period before recording the secondary helper on Tom Wilson's tally in the third. Overall, Dubois now has five goals, 10 assists, 37 shots on net, 21 hits and 12 blocked shots across 24 games this season. Since returning to action prior to the Olympic break, the 27-year-old center has brought stability to the Capitals' offense and has provided two-way value from his role as a middle-six center. With six points in his last two games, he holds solid streaming value in various fantasy league formats moving forward.
