Sherwood scored a hat trick in Monday's 3-1 win over the Avalanche.
Sherwood found twine once in each period -- each time via wristers in the latter stages of each frame, including a shorthanded goal in the second and an empty-netter in the third. Sherwood is up to 11 goals on the season, but he's certainly on a strong run of late since he's netted five of those goals across his last six outings.

Canucks' Kiefer Sherwood: Goals in back-to-back games
Rotowire
Sherwood scored his eighth goal of the season in Sunday's 4-2 loss to Tampa Bay.
Sherwood found a way to create space in front of the net after disengaging from a Tampa Bay defender, and Tyler Myers set him up with a one-timer from behind the goal line to tie the game at 2-2 early in the third period. In addition, Sherwood fired four shots on goal, doled out seven hits and was plus-1 in 14:54 of ice time. The right-shot winger has been a bargain for the Canucks after signing a two-year, $3 million contract with the club in July. Sherwood leads the NHL in hits with 160 -- the closest player to him in that category (Mark Kastelic) has 115. Furthermore, Sherwood is three markers shy of setting a new career high in goals. Overall, the Ohio native has logged eight goals, six assists and a plus-7 rating through 26 contests.

Canucks' Kiefer Sherwood: Bends twine in win
Rotowire
Sherwood scored a goal and added three hits in Friday's 5-2 win over the Blue Jackets.
Sherwood snapped a five-game point drought with the tally. That slump corresponds with his drop back into a third-line role following Brock Boeser's return from an upper-body injury. Sherwood doesn't have to score to be effective -- he has 28 hits over his last six contests, which continues to be his biggest area of production. For the season, the 29-year-old winger is at seven goals, six helpers, 46 shots on net and 153 hits over 25 appearances.
Sherwood had a goal, an assist and 10 hits Saturday in a 4-3 win over Ottawa.
His goal stood as the winner. Sherwood pounced on a loose puck in the crease at 8:41 of the third period and drove it past Linus Ullmark to push the score to 4-1. He's on a four-game, five-point scoring streak that includes three goals, 11 shots and a whopping 30 hits. Sherwood has been a great fantasy surprise this season -- he has six goals, five assists and a league-leading 125 hits in just 19 games. That's gold in leagues where muscle still counts.

Canucks' Kiefer Sherwood: Lights lamp again
Rotowire
Sherwood scored a goal on seven shots and added 10 hits in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Rangers.
Sherwood has posted double-digit hit totals on three occasions this season. His seven shots were a team high as well. The winger has two goals and an assist over his last three contests, and he appears to be clicking quickly with Elias Pettersson on what's now the Canucks' top line with J.T. Miller (personal) away from the team. Sherwood has five goals, 10 points, 38 shots on net, 115 hits and a plus-4 rating over 18 appearances. As long as he's seeing premium even-strength minutes, he'll be a strong option in fantasy, particularly in formats that reward his lofty hit totals.

Canucks' Kiefer Sherwood: Scores in loss Sunday
Rotowire
Sherwood scored a goal and added five hits in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Predators.
Sherwood continues to throw the body around -- he has four points and 41 hits through eight contests in November. The winger is getting more ice time to make an impact after playing a season-high 17:29 in this game, the fourth time in his last five outings he's been above 15 minutes. Sherwood has four goals, five assists, 105 hits, 31 shots on net and a plus-3 rating in 17 appearances. On offense alone, he's worth a look in deep formats, but he's nearing must-have status in leagues that reward physical play, as he's on a history-chasing pace in hits.

Canucks' Kiefer Sherwood: Nabs helper in win
Rotowire
Sherwood recorded an assist, two shots on goal and five hits in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Blackhawks.
Sherwood snapped a four-game point drought in Saturday's contest, setting up an Erik Brannstrom go-ahead goal in the third period. The 29-year-old Sherwood got a look alongside Elias Pettersson on the second line versus the Blackhawks. He's previously spent most of the season on the third combination, but Sherwood has been more productive than usual and also brings an ultra-physical element. He's now at eight points, 30 shots on net, 100 hits and a plus-3 rating through 16 contests. Saturday's outing was the 12th time he's logged five or more hits in a game this season.

Sherwood scored a goal, dished an assist, logged three hits and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Ducks.
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: Two assists in win
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.

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 registered an assist in Saturday's 7-4 loss to the Avalanche, along with a shot on goal, a hit and a blocked shot.
Sherwood has been a pleasant surprise in his first full season as a Pred. Now with a career-high 23 points (9G, 14A), he has been a solid source of secondary scoring from the team's bottom six. He continues to skate mainly on the team's fourth line alongside Cole Smith and Michael McCarron.

Sherwood notched an assist, four hits and two PIM in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Ducks.

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.
