Wennberg agreed to terms on a two-year, $10 million contract with the Sharks on Monday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports. Wennberg barely made the 30-point threshold this past season, needing 79 regular-season games split between the Kraken and Rangers to do it. The 29-year-old center looks poised to slot into a third-line role but could also be shifted to wing if the Sharks want to keep youngster Will Smith in his natural position.

Wennberg scored a goal on two shots in Sunday's 5-4 overtime win over the Panthers in Game 3. Wennberg tallied 5:35 into the extra session to fend off the Panthers. This was the Rangers' second overtime win in a row, giving them a 2-1 series lead in the Eastern Conference Finals. Playing in a third-line role, Wennberg hasn't generated much on offense with two points through 13 playoff games, but he's added 17 blocked shots and 11 shots on net as a defensively responsible center.

Wennberg produced a secondary assist in Tuesday's 4-3 double-overtime win over Carolina in Game 2. Wennberg helped out on Alexis Lafreniere's goal in the first period. It was the first point in six playoff contests this year for the 29-year-old Wennberg, who is relied upon for depth, not primary scoring. He's been serving as the Rangers' third-line center between Will Cuylle and Kaapo Kakko.

Wennberg (undisclosed) will be in the lineup for Game 3 versus Washington on Friday, per Michael Russo of The Athletic. Wennberg took a maintenance day Thursday, but he was back on the ice for morning skate Friday. The 29--year-old will center the third line between Will Cuylle and Kaapo Kakko while seeing second-unit power-play time in Game 3. Wennberg had only one goal and four assists in 19 games with the Rangers following his trade from Seattle on March 6.

Wennberg is questionable to face the Capitals for Game 3 on Friday with an undisclosed injury, Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press reports. Wennerg's absence from Thursday's practice was deemed maintenance and he was on the ice for an optional game-day skate Friday, so coach Peter Laviolette may just be playing it coy about Wennberg's availability. Still, it's a situation that fantasy players will have to monitor prior to puck drop. If Wennberg can't go Friday, Jonny Brodzinski figures to have the inside track for a spot in the lineup.
