San Jose Sharks News

Misa will take a seat on Friday after making his NHL debut in Tuesday's 5-1 loss to the Hurricanes. Ryan Reaves will draw into the lineup in his place.

The Sharks will look for a strong performance from Askarov between the pipes on Friday against the Utah Mammoth as they continue to search for their first victory. The 23-year-old Askarov has a high pedigree as the 11th-overall pick in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft and hopes to rebound after a forgetful season-opening performance last week, allowing seven goals on 44 shots (.841 SV%) in a 7-6 overtime loss to the Anaheim Ducks. The Sharks enter Friday's contest as significant +215 road underdogs against a Mammoth team that is 2-2-0 to start the season.

Nedeljkovic had a forgetful outing in San Jose's season-opening loss to the Vegas Golden Knights and will hope for a better result when he returns to the crease on Tuesday against his former team, the Carolina Hurricanes. The 29-year-old Nedeljkovic was stringing together an excellent outing against the Golden Knights before allowing the game-tying goal on a harmless shot from center ice and then turning the puck over in overtime in an eventual 4-3 loss, ultimately allowing four goals on 31 shots (.871 SV%). The Sharks enter the action on Tuesday as sizable +239 home underdogs against a Hurricanes team that has outscored their opposition 10-6 through two games (2-0-0).

With Michael Misa slated to make his NHL debut on Tuesday against the Carolina Hurricanes, Graf will head to the press box as a healthy scratch. The 23-year-old Graf is averaging 15:33 time-on-ice and has zero points through two games this season.

Misa was the 2nd overall selection in the 2025 NHL Entry Draft and will make his NHL debut on Tuesday against the Carolina Hurricanes. The 18-year-old forward scored an impressive 62 goals and 134 points with Saginaw (OHL) across 65 games last season.

The Jets are off to a 1-1-0 start to the 2025-26 season and will rest Connor Hellebuyck for the first time, allowing Comrie to tend the twine on Monday against the New York Islanders. As per usual, Hellebuyck had a heavy workload in 2024-25, but Comrie was excellent when called upon, posting a 2.39 GAA and .914 SV% in 20 games (9-10-1). The Jets enter Monday's contest as -123 road underdogs against the Islanders.

Dickinson was selected No.11 overall in this year's NHL Draft. The 19-year-old blueliner had an outstanding season with the London Knights in 2024-25, finishing with an impressive 91 points (29G/ 62A) in 55 games.

To some surprise, the Sharks are turning to Alex Nedeljkovic on Thursday against the Vegas Golden Knights instead of Yaroslav Askarov, their 23-year-old goalie of the future. The 29-year-old Nedeljkovic signed with San Jose in the offseason after spending his previous two seasons with the Pittsburgh Penguins. Nedeljkovic posted a 3.12 GAA and .894 SV% in 38 appearances last season (14-15-5). The Sharks have some exciting young talent on their roster, but still enter Thursday's contest as +180 home underdogs against a Golden Knights team coming off a 6-5 shootout loss to the Los Angeles Kings last night.

Kesselring left the Sabres' preseason game on October 1st after aggravating an injury that he'd been dealing with throughout camp. Sabres' head coach Lindy Ruff said that Kesselring will be re-evaluated on a week-to-week basis, effectively ruling him out for the start of the regular season.

Kesselring's regular-season debut with the Buffalo Sabres will be delayed after exiting Thursday's preseason game with an undisclosed injury and announcing he was out week-to-week on Friday. The 25-year-old is coming off a solid season with Utah, scoring 29 points (7G / 22A) and averaging 17:41 in 82 games.

Misa was the 2nd overall selection in the 2025 NHL Entry Draft and signed a three-year, entry-level contract with San Jose on Wednesday. The 18-year-old is expected to compete for a spot on the Sharks' opening night roster after an impressive 62-goal, 134-point campaign with Saginaw (OHL) across 65 games last season.

Price and his $10.5 million contract have been acquired by the San Jose Sharks on Friday, alongside a 2026 5th-round pick for defenseman Gannon Laroque. This move is nothing more than a salary dump for Montreal and allows San Jose to stay even more above the cap floor than they already were, in case of trades down the line. Price played his last NHL game on April 29th, 2022 and is not expected to ever return from a significant knee injury.

Skinner signed with the Oilers last summer but struggled in 2024-25, recording 29 points (16G / 13) while averaging just 13:00 TOI/gm. In San Jose he should have a larger role, likely in the top-6 and will look to get back to 20-plus goals for the 11th time in his career.
