Eklund cleared himself earlier in the day, but head coach Ryan Warsofsky walked that back by labeling the winger a game-time decision. In the end, Eklund is in fact good to go for his usual middle-six role. Eklund is looking to snap a 19-game goal drought, during which he has earned 10 assists.

Sharks' Igor Chernyshov: Called up from AHL
Rotowire
Chernyshov was recalled from AHL San Jose on Thursday.
Chernyshov had three goals and eight assists in 15 NHL games earlier in the campaign. The 20-year-old tallied 13 goals and 20 assists in 41 AHL contests before his recall. Chernyshov could replace William Eklund (lower body) who is questionable Thursday.

Eklund didn't participate in Wednesday's practice. He has 11 goals and 38 points across 58 outings in 2025-26. If Eklund can't play Thursday, then Pavol Regenda might draw back into the lineup.

Ferraro has earned three helpers over seven contests since the Olympic break, but his last goal was Jan. 19 versus the Panthers. The veteran defenseman is a pending unrestricted free agent this summer, but the Sharks didn't trade him away before the deadline, so they may attempt to re-sign him to be a steady shutdown blueliner for a young team. The 27-year-old is at 15 points, 72 shots on net, 105 hits, 117 blocked shots, 31 PIM and an even plus-minus rating over 62 appearances this season.
