Oilers' Ty Emberson: Snags first helper with new team
Rotowire
Emberson posted an assist in Saturday's 7-3 win over the Canucks.
Emberson had the secondary helper on a Brett Kulak tally in the third period. The assist was Emberson's first point as an Oiler, and he's added 20 hits, 12 blocked shots, 15 shots on net, seven PIM and a minus-4 rating while filling a bottom-four role. For now, he's holding onto a spot in the lineup over Troy Stecher, but Emberson's grip on that spot is tenuous at best since he hasn't stood out in any area this season.

Oilers' Ty Emberson: Yet to find scoresheet
Rotowire
Emberson has not recorded a point through his first 10 games of the season.
Emberson has collected 14 shots on net, 16 hits, 11 blocked shots, seven PIM and a minus-4 rating while playing in a bottom-four role. His offseason move from San Jose to Edmonton has not helped his offense, and he's even been a healthy scratch twice so far. Emberson still looks to be the Oilers' preferred option over Troy Stecher, but the 24-year-old won't have much fantasy value outside of banger leagues if he can't generate some points.

Oilers' Ty Emberson: Acquired via trade
Rotowire
Emberson was brought in by the Oilers from the Sharks on Sunday in a swap for Cody Ceci and a 2025 third-round pick.
Emberson played in 30 NHL games as a rookie last season in which he generated one goal, nine assists and 31 shots while averaging 18:33 of ice time. The 24-year-old defenseman should be on the roster coming out of training camp, though he will need to edge out the likes of Troy Stecher (ankle). If Emberson suits up Opening Night, he could see some time with the No. 2 power-play unit, which would certainly bolster his fantasy value.

Sharks' Ty Emberson: Ready for camp
Rotowire
Emberson (lower body) will be fully fit when training camp kicks off ahead of the 2024-25 campaign, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports Friday.
Emberson recently signed a one-year deal with the Sharks, resolving his restricted free-agent status ahead of the season. Last year, the 24-year-old defenseman saw action in 30 NHL contests in which he garnered one goal, nine assists and 31 shots while averaging 18:33 of ice time. Looking ahead to the upcoming season, Emberson should take the next step in his development and be a full-time NHL option for San Jose.

Rotowire
Emberson (lower body) inked a one-year, $950,000 contract with San Jose on Thursday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
Emberson saw action in 30 regular-season games with the Sharks last year in which he notched one goal, nine assists and 94 hits while averaging 18:33 of ice time. The Wisconsin native should be in the mix for a full-time NHL roster spot this year, which sets him up well to offer decent mid-range fantasy value given his offensive upside.

Sharks' Ty Emberson: Unlikely to return this season
Rotowire
Emberson (lower body) is not expected to play again this season after head coach David Quinn told reporters Monday, "Probably not with where we're at, but you never know. Stranger things have happened," per Max Miller of The Hockey News.

Before suffering his lower-body injury, the 23-year-old defenseman registered one goal, nine assists and 94 hits while averaging 18:33 of ice time per game over 30 contests.

Emberson has a goal, 10 points, 94 hits and 46 blocks in 30 contests this season. He was injured last Thursday and is on injured reserve. Once Emberson is ready to return, he might serve in a top-four capacity but is unlikely to receive much power-play ice time.

Sharks' Ty Emberson: Posts assist Thursday
Rotowire
Emberson recorded an assist and two shots on goal in Thursday's 2-1 loss to the Jets.
Emberson has helpers in back-to-back games after assisting on an Alexander Barabanov tally Thursday. Somewhat quietly, Emberson has stepped up as a key part of the Sharks' defense, taking on a top-pairing role. He's up to six points, 18 shots on net, 40 hits, 25 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating through 19 appearances. He doesn't see much power-play time, so the 23-year-old is unlikely to carry value in most fantasy formats, but he's doing a fine job defensively in his rookie year.

Sharks' Ty Emberson: Considered day-to-day
Rotowire
Emberson (lower body) remains on injured reserve but has been upgraded to day-to-day, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports Friday.
Emberson has missed the last 12 games due to his lower-body injury but looks to be nearing a return to action. Even once cleared to play, the 23-year-old defenseman is far from a lock for the lineup and may have to share games with Nikita Okhotyuk and Henry Thrun. For his part, Emberson appeared to be finding his offensive stride with three points in four games prior to getting hurt.
