Rotowire
Sherwood scored a goal and added eight hits in Friday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Blues.
This was Sherwood's first game since he signed a five-year extension with the Sharks.

Sharks' Kiefer Sherwood: Agrees to five-year extension
Rotowire
Sherwood signed a five-year, $28.75 million contract extension with San Jose on Wednesday, according to Chris Johnston of The Athletic.
The Sharks acquired Sherwood from Vancouver on Jan. 19 in exchange for a 2026 second-round pick, a 2027 second-round selection and Cole Clayton. The 30-year-old Sherwood has 18 goals, 25 points, 127 shots, 30 PIM and 238 hits in 49 outings between Vancouver and San Jose in 2025-26. Although his overall points production isn't high, he does enough between his physical play and goal-scoring abilities to log significant minutes. He's averaged 17:32 of ice time this season, and that trend has continued with him logging 17:21 per game across four outings since the Olympic break.

Rotowire
Sherwood (upper body) hopes to be ready in time to face Vancouver on Tuesday, Max Miller of NHL.com reports Thursday.
Sherwood certainly would like to face his former club, but evidently is facing an uphill battle to be ready in time.

Sharks' Kiefer Sherwood: Dealt to Capital of Silicon Valley
Rotowire

Sherwood is on injured reserve and has been out of action since Jan. 10.

Canucks' Kiefer Sherwood: Strikes on power play Friday
Rotowire
Sherwood scored a power-play goal on two shots and added five hits in Friday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Kraken.
Sherwood's offense has been anything but consistent lately -- he ended a five-game slump with his second-period tally. He's scored five goals over his last 18 games, but three of them came versus the Islanders on Dec. 19. Over that span, he's still racked up 93 hits, and he remains highly valuable in banger leagues. Sherwood has produced 17 goals, four assists, 96 shots on net, 189 hits, 20 PIM and a minus-5 rating over 40 appearances.

Canucks' Kiefer Sherwood: Nets power-play goal in loss
Rotowire
Sherwood scored a power-play goal on two shots and added two hits in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Sabres.
Sherwood's scoring fortunes have faded alongside the Canucks' drop to the bottom of the standings. His goal Thursday ended an eight-game point drought. The winger is still seeing prominent minutes, but he doesn't often generate offense on his own. Sherwood is at 13 goals, four assists, 69 shots on net, 136 hits, 16 PIM and a minus-7 rating over 31 appearances. He's still shooting 18.8 percent, so more regression could be on the way.

Sherwood scored a power-play goal in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Lightning.

Canucks' Kiefer Sherwood: Pots another goal
Rotowire
Sherwood scored a goal on four shots and added eight hits in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Jets.
Sherwood has scored in back-to-back games, and he's gotten on the scoresheet in three straight contests. The 30-year-old winger's eight hits Tuesday marked a season high, though he's no stranger to lofty hit totals after setting the single-season record (462) last year. Sherwood has 11 goals, one assist, 37 shots, 79 hits, 12 PIM and a minus-2 rating over 18 appearances this season. He's been on the second line over the last few games, which should offer him more chances to generate offense.

Canucks' Kiefer Sherwood: Hot scoring start continues
Rotowire
Sherwood scored a goal on his only shot, blocked one shot and delivered four hits during his 23:15 of ice time in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Capitals.
Due to his status as an all-situations player, Sherwood's 23:15 of ice time was the most among all Canucks forwards. So far, he's really taken advantage of that distinction, and he scored his first power-play goal, and fourth goal overall, of the season. With some injury questions up front for Vancouver following Sunday's game -- both Filip Chytil (upper body) and Jonathan Lekkerimaki (undisclosed) left early with injuries -- it's certainly possible that Sherwood will get increased opportunities in the short term to continue his hot start.

Canucks' Kiefer Sherwood: Pots two goals Monday
Rotowire
Sherwood scored two goals in Monday's 5-2 loss to the Blues.
Sherwood found the back of the net twice during the second period, with one of those goals coming when the Canucks were shorthanded. However, the 30-year-old's efforts were not enough to turn things around. Sherwood might not have a lot of upside in his current bottom-six role, but he's been surprisingly productive early on with three goals over three games. He's scored the three goals on seven shots on net, however, so his accuracy is bound to experience some regression sooner rather than later.

Canucks' Kiefer Sherwood: Lights lamp in season-opening win
Rotowire
Sherwood scored a goal on two shots, levied six hits and added two PIM in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Flames.
Sherwood opened the scoring at 14:53 of the first period off a feed from Drew O'Connor. The 30-year-old Sherwood broke out to the tune of 19 goals and 40 points over 78 games in 2024-25, as well as an NHL-record 462 hits -- that's 5.9 hits per game. While fantasy managers can find similar scoring production all over the waiver wire, Sherwood's elite physicality sets him apart in formats that count hits. Don't sleep on him if he continues to chip in a point every other game.

Canucks' Kiefer Sherwood: Scores game-winner
Rotowire
Sherwood scored a goal on two shots, doled out seven hits and added seven PIM in Friday's 3-1 win over the Wild.
Sherwood ended a 15-game goal drought dating back to Jan. 14 -- he also missed four contests due to an undisclosed injury in that time. The 29-year-old winger hasn't been much of a pugilist this year, but he fought Ryan Hartman in the first period after tripping the Minnesota forward. Sherwood is up to 14 goals, 25 points, 107 shots, 338 hits and 31 PIM over 58 appearances. He can win fantasy managers the hits category nearly on his own, and he's on track for a career high in points for the third year in a row.
