Thrun posted an assist and four blocked shots in Sunday's 1-0 win over the Devils.
Thrun has three helpers over his last two games. He's been rewarded for his strong effort -- the 23-year-old was moved up to the top pairing and saw a season-high 22:48 of ice time in Sunday's win. The blueliner has four helpers, 11 shots on net, 11 PIM, 12 hits, 25 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating through 15 contests. He could continue to see a larger role until Jake Walman (upper body) returns.

Sharks' Henry Thrun: Produces pair of assists in loss
Rotowire
Thrun notched two assists, two hits and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Wild.
Thrun is up to three helpers through 14 contests this season. He's added 10 shots on net, 11 PIM, 12 hits, 21 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating while filling a bottom-four role. Thrun has been scratched once, but he should be in the lineup at least as long as Jake Walman (upper body) is contending with an injury. Thrun's lack of power-play time is likely to limit his fantasy value to the deepest of formats.

Sharks' Henry Thrun: Manages helper
Rotowire
Thrun posted an assist, two hits and two blocked shots in Monday's 5-4 overtime win over Utah.
The helper was Thrun's first point in 10 games this season. The 23-year-old defenseman has played on the third pairing primarily, and while he saw 1:50 of power-play time Monday, that was due to Jack Thompson being a healthy scratch. Thrun's defense hasn't exactly been great -- he's posted a minus-9 rating with nine PIM, 12 blocked shots, seven hits and seven shots on net so far. Without consistent power-play time, the American blueliner likely won't be an option in fantasy.

Sharks' Henry Thrun: Two assists in Thursday's win
Rotowire
Thrun notched two assists, two hits and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Kraken.
Thrun's offense has come to life late in the season -- he has a goal and four assists over his last four contests. The 23-year-old defenseman is at three goals, seven helpers, 47 shots on net, 67 blocked shots and a minus-17 rating through 48 appearances. While he hasn't done a lot, he's seeing significant minutes and some power-play time that gives him upside in deeper fantasy formats over the final week of the campaign.

Sharks' Henry Thrun: Produces assist Tuesday
Rotowire
Thrun logged an assist and two PIM in Tuesday's 7-2 loss to the Devils.
The helper was Thrun's first point since Jan. 9, ending his nine-game drought. He missed six contests in that span due to a shoulder injury. Thrun has four points, 29 shots on net, 40 blocked shots, 18 hits and a minus-9 rating over 26 appearances at the NHL level this season. He's got some potential, but he's unlikely to realize most of it in 2023-24 while playing for one of the league's worst offenses.

Sharks' Henry Thrun: Officially ruled out Saturday
Rotowire
Thrun (shoulder) will not be in action versus the Sabres on Saturday, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
With Thrun unavailable, the 22-year-old Shakir Mukhamadullin is expected to make his NHL debut and could even see time on the second power-play unit. For his part, Thrun has managed just three points in 23 games this season and probably shouldn't be expected to offer much in the way of offensive upside moving forward.

Sharks' Henry Thrun: Questionable for Saturday
Rotowire
Thrun was seen with his shoulder wrapped Thursday, raising questions about his availability for Saturday's contest against Buffalo, per Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News.
Thrun has a goal, three points, 28 shots, 13 hits and 39 blocks in 23 outings this season. If he can't play Saturday, then Kyle Burroughs will likely remain in the lineup. Burroughs might otherwise be a healthy scratch to allow for Shakir Mukhamadullin, who was summoned from AHL San Jose on Thursday, to make his NHL debut.
