Ufko bagged two apples in Thursday's 5-4 loss to Anaheim.

Ufko finished the season with back-to-back two-assist games. He impressed in 18 NHL games this season. He scored two goals and added nine assists in that span. Ufko also delivered 11 goals and 33 assists in 50 games with the AHL Milwaukee Admirals this season. He's a name worth remembering for next season.

Koepke scored a goal, placed two shots on net and dished out two hits in Thursday's 6-1 loss to San Jose.

Koepke tallied the lone goal for the Jets in the team's season finale, scoring an unassisted goal less than three and a half minutes into regulation to give Winnipeg an early lead. With the twine finder, Koepke finished the campaign with eight goals, 17 points, 86 shots on net and 186 hits across 66 games this season. Thursday's tally helped the 27-year-old winger tie his point output across 73 games a season ago. He maintained his physical playstyle and set a new career high in hits this season, which should keep him involved in a bottom-six role next year.

Misa tallied a goal and fired five shots on net in Thursday's 6-1 win over Winnipeg.

Misa ended his rookie campaign on a four-game point streak, which he extended Thursday with his even-strength goal late in the second period to place the Sharks up 4-1. Overall, the 19-year-old center posted nine goals, 21 points, 58 shots on net, 14 hits and 23 blocked shots across 45 games this season. He went on multiple point streaks throughout the season and is trending towards a bigger role next year if he can stay healthy. Misa will likely compete to be San Jose's No. 2 center to open next season and he should provide solid fantasy value in most standard leagues that value offensive contributions over category coverage.

Graf scored a goal and placed two shots on net in Thursday's 6-1 win over the Jets.

Graf concluded his stellar sophomore season with a twine finder to put the Sharks up 3-1 early in the second period. Overall, the 23-year-old winger had 21 goals, 46 points, 118 shots on net, 88 hits and 48 blocked shots across 81 games this season. He took a large step forward both offensively and defensively this season while skating in a middle-six role. He'll look to secure his first season with 50-plus points next year and is poised to make a solid impact next year in both standard fantasy formats and dynasty leagues at his current pace of development.

Chernyshov tallied a power-play goal and put two shots on net in Thursday's 6-1 win over Winnipeg.

Chernyshov finished the regular season hot with his fourth goal over his last four games. The 20-year-old winger wrapped up his rookie campaign with nine goals, 19 points, 46 shots on net, 17 hits and 13 blocked shots across 28 games this season. He showed many flashes of elite potential throughout the season while skating in a majority of his games next to Macklin Celebrini on the team's top line. Chernyshov has a bright outlook in dynasty leagues ahead of next season and could make an impact in most standard fantasy leagues if the Sharks keep him at the NHL level for all of next season.

Klingberg dished out three assists in Thursday's 6-1 win over the Jets.

Klingberg wrapped up his 12th season in the NHL with his first three-point outing of the season. He picked up a helper in all three periods Thursday, including the primary assist on Macklin Celebrini's goal in the third. Overall, Klingberg concluded the campaign with 17 assists, 27 points, 79 shots on net, 46 hits and 62 blocked shots across 56 games this season. His first full year with the Sharks revitalized his offensive numbers, posting his first campaign with 25-plus points since the 2022-23 season. He averaged just under half a point per game this season when healthy and should garner some looks in deep fantasy leagues next season if he maintains his share of power-play time.

Smith scored a goal, recorded an assist and fired five shots on net in Thursday's 6-1 win over Winnipeg.

Smith notched his goal late in the first period before later picking up a secondary helper on Macklin Celebrini's tally in the third. The pair of points raised the 21-year-old Smith up to 24 goals, 35 assists and 166 shots on net across 69 games this season. The rising star took another step forward this season offensively, as he compiled more points and shots on net in less games than he played in his rookie campaign. He is a high-upside player in fantasy for the years to come and is set to operate inside the Sharks' top six for the foreseeable future.

Eklund tallied a goal, notched two assists and placed three shots on net in Thursday's 6-1 win over the Jets.

Eklund capped off his 2025-26 campaign with a strong outing, as he provided two primary assists before adding the Sharks' fifth goal of the game right before time expired in the second period. The 23-year-old winger wrapped up the regular season with 15 goals, 38 assists, 176 shots on net, 72 hits and 51 blocked shots across 78 games. Despite ending the year with five less points than he compiled in 77 games a season ago, he showcased growth as an all-around player with new career highs in shots on goal, hits and blocked shots. Eklund holds solid upside playing the Sharks' top six and is worthy of a draft pick in most standard fantasy formats next season.

Evangelista had two assists in a 5-4 loss to the Ducks on Thursday.

Evangelista finished the season on a three-game, five-point scoring streak (two goals, three assists). He put up 56 points, including 44 helpers, in 81 games, and he established career marks in assists, points (56), power-play points (17) and shots (176). Evangelista finished the season on the top power-play unit, a role that he could reprise to start next season.

Celebrini scored a goal, distributed two assists and placed three shots on net in Thursday's 6-1 win over Winnipeg.

Celebrini made history Thursday, as he recorded his 115th point of the season to pass Joe Thornton's 114-point, single-season record for the Sharks. Celebrini made the record-breaking performance possible with a pair of helpers in the first period before finding the back of the net himself less than a minute and a half into the third. With the trio of points, the 19-year-old superstar finished his sophomore season with 45 goals, 70 assists, 287 shots on net, 53 hits and 53 blocked shots across 82 games this season. He has cemented himself as one of the league's best players and will likely be a top-five pick in nearly all fantasy formats next season.
