Sherwood ended a three-game point drought with his go-ahead goal in the first period. He also set up a Danton Heinen tally in the third. Sherwood has seven points, 21 shots on net, 72 hits and a plus-3 rating through 11 appearances this season. His three hits Tuesday matched his season low, but the winger continues to be a force -- both with and without the puck -- on the third line.

Canucks' Kiefer Sherwood: Nets equalizer in comeback
Rotowire
Sherwood scored a goal on two shots and added six hits in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Penguins.
Sherwood's point streak is at four games, which contains all five points he's earned over seven appearances this season. The 29-year-old's uptick in offense has allowed him to shine in a third-line role. He's also been an elite hitter this season, racking up 50 hits to lead the league by seven over Nashville's Jeremy Lauzon, who has played one more game. Sherwood can help in leagues that value hits, and he's worthy of a streaming look while his offense is hot.

Rotowire
Sherwood collected two secondary helpers in Tuesday's 6-3 win over Chicago.

The Ohio native added three shots, a whopping 12 hits, and a plus-2 rating to round out a solid performance.

Canucks' Kiefer Sherwood: Throws body around in win
Rotowire
Sherwood scored a goal on five shots, doled out nine hits and added two PIM in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Flyers.
Sherwood has two points and 19 hits over his last two games. The 29-year-old winger brings a physical edge in a bottom-six role, but it's impressive he's logged such high hit totals in a pair of games away from home -- official hit counts tend to be more favorable in a player's home arena. Sherwood could produce offense around the same pace as the 27 points he had in 68 regular-season contests last year. If his hit totals continue to be lofty, he could push for 300-plus in 2024-25, which gives him another path to fantasy relevance despite modest scoring.

Canucks' Kiefer Sherwood: Deals helper in overtime win
Rotowire
Sherwood provided an assist and 10 hits in Thursday's 3-2 overtime win over the Panthers.
Sherwood has had no qualms about throwing his body around, logging 23 hits through the Canucks' first four games. The helper was his first point this season, and he's added six shots on net and four blocked shots. Sherwood's heavy playing style was evident when he put up 27 points and 234 hits over 68 regular-season outings with the Predators last year, but he's not a huge source of PIM. The winger figures to spend most of 2024-25 in a third-line role.

Predators' Kiefer Sherwood: Fills empty cage
Rotowire
Sherwood scored an empty-net goal and added five hits in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Canucks in Game 2.
Sherwood put the finishing touch on the Predators' win to even the series at 1-1. The 29-year-old entered Tuesday on a three-game pointless slump. He produced 10 goals, 27 points, 110 shots on net, 234 hits and 41 PIM in 68 regular-season appearances. Sherwood can chip in with some depth scoring, but he's likely to remain in a fourth-line role throughout the playoffs.
Sherwood notched an assist, three hits and two PIM in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Blues.
Sherwood set up Michael McCarron's tally in the third period, which ended up being the game-winner. The helper was Sherwood's second in the last three games. The fourth-line winger doesn't get many chances to contribute, but he's still put together a decent season with 24 points, 96 shots on net, 215 hits, 41 PIM and a plus-16 rating over 62 appearances.
Sherwood registered an assist in Saturday's 7-4 loss to the Avalanche, along with a shot on goal, a hit and a blocked shot.

Predators' Kiefer Sherwood: Pots two goals Saturday
Rotowire
Sherwood scored twice in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Sharks.
Sherwood saw a team-low 11:15 of ice time, but he was still able to make an impact with the Predators' first and third goals. The 28-year-old has four points over his last four games. It's a good enough stretch to keep him in the lineup over Denis Gurianov and Egor Afanasyev. Sherwood has seven goals, a career-high 15 points, 67 shots on net, 150 hits and a plus-8 rating through 44 appearances this season.

Rotowire
Sherwood notched an assist, two shots on goal and five hits in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Golden Knights.
Sherwood has an assist in each of the last two games after going 14 contests without a point. That dry spell lasted over two months -- the winger ended up being a scratch 12 times during the drought. He's been on the fourth line lately, which isn't likely to be a great spot for him to build his offense. He's up to 13 points, 64 shots on net, 142 hits and a plus-6 rating through 42 appearances. He'll set a new career high in points the next time he gets on the scoresheet.

Predators' Kiefer Sherwood: Scores goal in loss
Rotowire
Sherwood scored a goal on three shots in the Predators' 4-2 loss to the Flames on Tuesday.
Sherwood scored on an off-man rush to extend the Predators' lead to 2-0. That would be all the offense Nashville could muster up, as they would cough up four unanswered goals to take the loss. Sherwood snapped a four-game pointless streak with this goal as he looks to get back on track offensively. He should continue to skate on Nashville's second line.
