Sharks' Cameron Lund: Placed on non-roster injured reserve
Rotowire
Lund (upper body) was placed on non-roster injured reserve by the Sharks on Monday, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
The Sharks announced in mid-September that Lund was expected to miss about a month due to his upper-body injury, so his placement on non-roster injured reserve isn't particularly surprising. Once he's cleared to return to action, he'll likely report to AHL San Jose.

Sharks' Cameron Lund: Set for one month absence
Rotowire
Lund (upper body) is expected to miss around a month, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports Thursday.
Lund appeared in 11 NHL games back in 2024-25, and he garnered two goals, one assist and 12 shots while averaging 11:30 of ice time. With his injury likely setting him back, the 22-year-old center will presumably have to settle for another year primarily in the minors before being a serious candidate for the NHL roster.

Sharks' Cameron Lund: Collects three points Thursday
Rotowire
Lund scored a goal and added two assists in AHL San Jose's 4-3 win over Calgary on Thursday.
Lund has a pair of three-point efforts propping up his scoring numbers so far. His goal Thursday was his first of the campaign to go with eight assists across nine outings. The 21-year-old forward got into 11 NHL games, earning three points, at the tail end of 2024-25, and continued strong play for the Barracuda could earn him a call-up or two during 2025-26.

Rotowire
Lund (upper body) is day-to-day and won't play against the Kings on Saturday in the Golden State Rookie Faceoff, according to Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now.
Lund sustained the injury in Friday's 6-3 win over the Ducks after scoring two goals in the contest. He had two goals, one assist, 12 shots on net and seven hits in 11 NHL regular-season appearances with the Sharks in 2024-25. If he's healthy, he will compete for a spot on the Opening Night roster during training camp.

Sharks' Cameron Lund: Hurt in rookie game
Rotowire
Lund (upper body) did not return to Friday's prospects game versus the Ducks after taking a high hit in the third period, Max Miller of NHL.com reports.
Lund has a chance of making the Sharks' roster out of camp, but missing any time due to injury will complicate things for the 21-year-old forward. Depending on the severity of the injury, he could miss the remainder of the Sharks' prospects games and at least some of training camp next week.

Lund was unavailable for Sunday's game against the Flames due to his illness, but he'll be back in action for the second half of the back-to-back set. Over nine NHL appearances this season, he's recorded two goals, an assist, five hits, a blocked shot and four PIM while averaging 11:29 of ice time.

Sharks' Cameron Lund: Registers helper
Rotowire
Lund recorded an assist in Wednesday's 8-7 overtime loss to the Wild.
Lund set up a Carl Grundstrom tally in the second period. This was Lund's first NHL helper, and he has earned three points with a minus-10 rating, 11 shots on net and three hits over eight contests since signing out of Northeastern University. He'll likely close the 2024-25 campaign in a bottom-six role, giving him minimal upside in fantasy.

Sharks' Cameron Lund: Tallies again Sunday
Rotowire
Lund scored a goal on two shots and added two PIM in Sunday's 8-1 loss to the Kings.
The Sharks were outscored by a combined 14-2 in losses to the Rangers and the Kings, but Lund had both of their tallies. That's all of his offense, to go with four shots on net, two PIM and a minus-2 rating through three NHL appearances. He's certainly making a good first impression, which should give him a chance to make the NHL club out of camp in 2025-26, but it wouldn't be surprising if he ultimately needed a little time with AHL San Jose at some point.

Sharks' Cameron Lund: Nets first NHL goal
Rotowire
Lund scored a power-play goal and went minus-2 in Saturday's 6-1 loss to the Rangers.
Lund's first NHL goal was the lone bright spot for the Sharks in an otherwise ugly game. This was his second contest since he signed out of Northeastern University, where he racked up 40 points in 37 contests this season. The 20-year-old, a second-round pick from 2022, is expected to see plenty of playing time down the stretch as he looks to get a head start on earning an NHL job for 2025-26.
