• Sharks' Alexander Wennberg: Tallies in loss

  8D ago • By RotoWire

  Wennberg scored a goal on three shots in Saturday's 4-3 loss to Utah. Wennberg has two goals over six games in December. He continues to find twine at an impressive rate this year -- he's at eight goals through 33 contests, shooting 18.2 percent. Last year, he scored just 10 times over 79 regular-season outings between the Kraken and the Rangers. Wennberg has added eight assists, 44 shots on net, 35 blocked shots and a minus-9 rating in 2024-25, production that makes him a viable option in deeper fantasy formats since he's also seeing power-play time.

• Sharks' Alexander Wennberg: Prevents shutout Thursday

  17D ago • By RotoWire

  Wennberg scored a goal and blocked two shots in Thursday's 8-1 loss to the Lightning. Wennberg was one of four Sharks to avoid finishing the game with a negative plus-minus rating. His tally 14 seconds into the third period broke up Andrei Vasilevskiy's shutout bid, though it was far too late to change the result. Wennberg has four goals and four assists over his last 10 outings, a remarkable run of offense for a middle-six center on a weak team. He's up to seven goals, 15 points, 37 shots on net, 30 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating over 29 appearances.

• Sharks' Alexander Wennberg: Adds insurance with power-play goal

  27D ago • By RotoWire

  Wennberg scored a power-play goal in Monday's 7-2 win over the Kings. Wennberg has three goals and three assists over his last five games, and three of the six points in that span have come on the power play. The 30-year-old center played a season-high 22:28 in this contest, picking up a lot of the slack created by the absence of Mikael Granlund (upper body). Wennberg can add depth offense but is more of a two-way center. He's at 13 points (six on the power play), 30 shots on net, 19 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating across 24 appearances, and he'll likely be in the top six as long as Granlund is out.

  Wennberg provided an assist in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Sabres. Wennberg has two goals and three assists over his last four contests. The center has been flanked by Luke Kunin and Tyler Toffoli recently, and that's a line combination that can play a valuable two-way game. Wennberg is up to five goals, seven helpers, 29 shots on net, 18 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating over 23 appearances. He'll likely stay on the third line as long as Mikael Granlund and Macklin Celebrini stay healthy.

The Swedish forward could be turning the corner on offense -- he's registered multi-point outings in two of his last three games. Wennberg has compiled five goals, six assists, four PIM, 29 shots, 18 blocks, 13 hits and seven takeaways through 22 contests.
