Toffoli exited Thursday's 5-0 loss to the Buffalo Sabres in the first period after only 3:41 time-on-ice due to a lower-body injury and did not return. The 33-year-old Toffoli has been effective offensively lately, scoring five points (2G / 3A) in his last six games. The team should provide an update on Toffoli's status before they return to action on Saturday against the Philadelphia Flyers.
Nedeljkovic has played well lately, but had a rough night in his most recent outing, allowing five goals on 37 shots (.865 SV%) in a 5-3 loss to the Edmonton Oilers. With Yaroslav Askarov (lower body) sidelined, the Sharks have relied heavily on the 30-year-old Nedeljkovic, who has a 2.32 GAA and .923 SV% in his last 10 games (6-3-1). The Sharks enter Thursday's contest as +121 home underdogs against a Buffalo Sabres team with just one loss in their last 11 games (10-1-0).

The 30-year-old Nedeljkovic was terrific in his most recent outing, saving 25 of 27 shots (.926 SV%) in a 4-2 win over the Montreal Canadiens, and has been consistent in recent weeks. Nedeljkovic has allowed three or fewer goals in nine consecutive appearances (6-1-1), posting a solid 2.00 GAA and .931 SV%. The Sharks enter Tuesday's contest as +146 road underdogs against an Edmonton Oilers team that will be without Leon Draisaitl (lower body).

Wennberg was a late scratch from Sunday's 7-4 loss to the Ottawa Senators, but he should re-enter the lineup on Tuesday against the Edmonton Oilers. The 31-year-old Swedish forward is having an excellent season with the Sharks, averaging a career-high 20:37 time-on-ice and scoring 43 points (13G / 30A) in 64 games. This marks only the second time Wennberg has surpassed 40 points in a season, dating back to his 59-point campaign in 2016-17 with the Columbus Blue Jackets.
Dellandrea has battled some injuries this season and has been sidelined since early January due to a lower-body injury, but he has been an effective bottom-six forward when healthy, earning himself a two-year contract extension. The 25-year-old Dellandrea is averaging 14:24 time-on-ice, recording 11 points (2G / 9A) and 117 hits in 42 games this season.
With Alex Nedeljkovic already confirmed as the Sharks' starting goalie for Thursday's game against the Boston Bruins, the Sharks announce Askarov will be able to serve as his backup. It does not seem as though Askarov's injury is a long-term concern, given that he was not immediately ruled out of the game.

It does not seem as though Askarov's injury is a long-term concern, given that he has not been completely ruled out of the game.
Nedeljkovic was lightly tested in his previous game, but allowed three goals on 14 shots (.786 SV%) in a 3-2 overtime loss to the St. Louis Blues. The 30-year-old goalie has been the more consistent Sharks' goalie in recent weeks, posting a 2.23 GAA and .919 SV% in his last nine appearances (6-1-1).
