San Jose Sharks

Erik Karlsson tallied one assist in the Sharks' 5-2 loss to the Wild Saturday night.

Fantasy Impact: Karlsson continues to stay hot in the offensive zone for the Sharks, posting points in eight of his last 11 games (two goals, nine assists) for the club.

Tomas Hertl posted two points for the Sharks Saturday night, scoring one goal and picking up one assist in a 5-2 loss to the Wild.

Fantasy Impact: Hertl has been strong in the offensive zone of late for the Sharks, tallying points in four of his last five games (four goals, one assist) for the club. The 29-year-old has offered decent production for much of the season for fantasy owners, tallying 53 points (19 goals, 34 assists) in 64 games so far this season.

James Reimer was stellar in net for the Sharks Monday night, stopping 36 of 38 shots faced in a 3-2 win over the Jets.

Fantasy Impact: Reimer has not been very reliable of late in net for the Sharks, allowing more than two goals in three of his last five starts (2-2-1, .877 save percentage) for the club. The veteran netminder has not been a viable option for much of the season for fantasy owners, posting a 3.31 GAA and .894 save percentage in 32 starts (10-16-6) between the pipes so far this season.

William Eklund tallied one assist in the Sharks' 8-3 loss to the Capitals Saturday night.

Kaapo Kahkonen allowed three goals on 30 shots faced in the Sharks' 4-2 loss to the Sabres Saturday.

Fantasy Impact: Kahkonen has been solid in the crease despite a lack of offensive support of late, allowing three goals or less in each of his last five starts (2-3-0, .930 save percentage) for the club. The 26-year-old netminder is still not a viable goaltending option for fantasy owners at this point, carrying a 3.60 GAA and .884 save percentage in 25 starts (8-12-4) between the pipes so far this season.

Alexander Barabanov was able to find the back of the net for the Sharks Saturday, scoring one goal in a 4-2 loss to the Sabres.

Fantasy Impact: Barabanov continues a strong stretch in the offensive zone of late for the Sharks, picking up points in six of his last seven games (five goals, four assists) for the club. The 28-year-old will hope to finish strong for a San Jose squad entering a giant rebuild, tallying 37 points (11 goals, 26 assists) in 52 games so far this season.

Kevin Labanc registered two points for the Sharks Tuesday night, scoring one goal and picking up one assist in a 4-2 win over the Coyotes.

Fantasy Impact: Labanc has now tallied points in four of his last eight games for the Sharks, scoring three goals and picking up four assists in that span. The 27-year-old will look for more consistency in the offensive zone going forward, recording 25 points (10 goals, 15 assists) in 41 games so far this season.

Fantasy Impact: San Jose's defenseman is now at 13 points (2 goals, 11 assists) in 51 games this year.

Fantasy Impact: The multi point night has the young Sharks forward at 16 points (4 goals, 12 assists) in 49 games this year.

Cogliano picked up the primary assist on San Jose's first goal in their win versus the Coyotes.

Fantasy Impact: The Sharks veteran ended a long point drought with that assist, he has just 2 points since March 1st.

Sawchenko allowed two goals in period one and two more in period two, giving the Sharks a four goal deficit, before settling down in the third period when the Sharks made a comeback attempt to make it 4-3 with 1:25 left to play. The goaltender was pulled for the extra attacker and the Avalanche sent the Sharks out to sail by burying an empty-netter to seal the deal 5-3.

Fantasy Impact: Sawchenko stopped 24-of-28 shots-on-goal for an .857 save-percentage and now moves to 1-3-1. There should be no reason to have the goalkeeper in lineups moving forward.

Fantasy Impact: Adding Kane to the McDavid/Draisaitl combination gives him a boost and is a must add in all formats. Obviously, he carries some risk with his history of trouble with the league, but he is a grab-and-stash if he's available on waivers.

Adin Hill saved 37 of 39 shots en route to San Jose's 3-2 win over Buffalo.

Fantasy Impact: Hill improved his record to 7-9. He is still allowing under three goals a game, but his save percentage sits at only .901.
