Sharks' John Klingberg: Ready to rock
Klingberg (lower body) will return to the lineup against the Kings on Tuesday, per Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now.
Following a six-game absence, Klingberg will return to a top-four role and see time on the first power-play unit. He has accounted for one goal, one assist, four shots on net, four blocked shots and three hits in three appearances this season. With Klingberg good to go, Vincent Iorio will be a healthy scratch versus the Kings on Tuesday.

Sharks' John Klingberg: Out again Thursday
Klingberg (lower body) won't play Thursday versus the Rangers, Max Miller of NHL.com reports.
Klingberg is with the Sharks on this road trip and has been on the ice lately, but he's set for a fourth straight absence. It's possible the Sharks don't want him playing both halves of a back-to-back, as he hasn't yet been ruled out for Friday's game against the Devils.

Sharks' John Klingberg: Remains sidelined
Klingberg (lower body) will not be available for Tuesday's road matchup versus the Islanders, Max Miller of NHL.com reports.
Klingberg participated in the entirety of Tuesday's morning skate, but he'll remain sidelined for a third consecutive game. The right-shot blueliner has registered a goal, an assist and a minus-3 rating over three appearances in 2025-26. His next chance to draw into the lineup will be in the first half of a back-to-back set Thursday against the Rangers.

Sharks' John Klingberg: Expected to travel for trip
Klingberg (lower body) is expected to accompany the Sharks on their road trip that starts Tuesday versus the Islanders, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Klingberg's presence on the trip is not a guarantee he'll play, but it bodes well that he hasn't gotten any worse than day-to-day. The 33-year-old will likely replace Vincent Desharnais in the lineup once healthy.

Sharks' John Klingberg: Sitting out Friday
Klingberg (lower body) won't be in the lineup Friday versus the Mammoth, Max Miller of NHL.com reports.
Klingberg and Shakir Mukhamadullin will both miss the contest, allowing Sam Dickinson to stay in the lineup and Vincent Iorio to make his team debut. Klingberg skated Thursday, but it reportedly didn't go well, so that suggests he won't be able to play against the Penguins on Saturday either. His status for a road trip out east, which starts Tuesday versus the Islanders, has yet to be determined.

Sharks' John Klingberg: Will travel with team
Klingberg (lower body) will travel with the Sharks to Utah ahead of Friday's game against the Mammoth, per Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now.
Klingberg's availability hasn't been determined, but traveling at least keeps the possibility of him playing alive. If he doesn't dress Friday, then Vincent Iorio, who was claimed off waivers from Washington on Thursday, might draw into the lineup.

Sharks' John Klingberg: Dealing with lower-body injury
The Sharks announced Wednesday that Klingberg is considered day-to-day due to a lower-body injury, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.
Despite seeing a season-high 5:05 of power-play ice time during Tuesday's loss to the Hurricanes, he was held without a point for the first time over the Sharks' first three games of the season. He's considered questionable for Friday's game against Utah, and Sam Dickinson and Vincent Desharnais are candidates to see playing time if Klingberg or Timothy Liljegren (upper body) are unavailable.

Sharks' John Klingberg: Strikes on power play
Klingberg scored a power-play goal and added two PIM in Saturday's 7-6 overtime loss to the Ducks.
Klingberg restored a lead for the Sharks, putting them up 4-3 in the second period with his first goal of the season. The 33-year-old defenseman had a middling stint with the Ducks in 2022-23, earning 24 points over 50 appearances, though it was a productive and healthy campaign compared to the last two years. Klingberg is positioned to play a top-four role with ample power-play time to start 2025-26. He already has two points this year, both of which have come with the man advantage.

Sharks' John Klingberg: Slated to play against Ducks
Klingberg (upper body) is expected to be in action versus Anaheim on Wednesday, Max Miller of NHL.com reports.
Klingberg rejoined the team at practice last Thursday, so it seems he's back to 100 percent. With the blueliner suiting up in a preseason tilt, it should clear the way for him to join the team for Opening Night against the Golden Knights on Oct. 9. Considering Klingberg has been limited to just 25 regular-season games over the last two years, it's hard to predict what version of him you are getting. Still, if he stays healthy, which is a big if, Klingberg could get back to being a 35-40 point producer.

Sharks' John Klingberg: Returns to ice
Klingberg (upper body) was on the ice for Thursday's practice session, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.
Klingberg suffered an upper-body injury during Sunday's preseason win over Vegas and missed Tuesday's practice session. Head coach Ryan Warsofsky said Tuesday that Klingberg is doubtful for Friday's preseason matchup against the Golden Knights, but it was at least encouraging to see the 33-year-old return to practice Thursday. Assuming he's sidelined Friday, his next opportunity to suit up during the preseason will be Monday against Anaheim.

Sharks' John Klingberg: Considered day-to-day
Klingberg (upper body) missed Tuesday's practice and is day-to-day, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Klingberg sustained an upper-body injury in Sunday's 3-0 preseason win over Vegas. The 33-year-old defender is doubtful for Friday's exhibition rematch against the Golden Knights. He signed a one-year, $4 million contract with the Sharks in the summer after earning one goal, three assists, 19 shots on net and 13 blocked shots across 11 regular-season appearances with Edmonton in 2024-25.

Sharks' John Klingberg: Headed for West Coast
Klingberg agreed to terms on a one-year, $4 million contract with San Jose on Tuesday.
Including the playoffs, Klingberg played in 30 games last year as he worked his way back from a long-term hip injury. In those outings, the veteran blueliner garnered just two goals and six assists to go with 45 blocks and 29 hits. At this point in his career, Klingberg might have to settle for a spot on the third pairing but should still be in the mix for power-play minutes.

Oilers' John Klingberg: Tacks on power-play goal
Klingberg scored a power-play goal on two shots, added three hits and blocked four shots in Sunday's 6-1 win over the Stars in Game 3.
Klingberg's first goal of the postseason ended a five-game point drought. The defenseman has been steady in his role for the Oilers, providing a little depth scoring without costing his team in the defensive zone. He's produced four points, 18 shots on net, 21 hits, 24 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating over 13 playoff outings.

Oilers' John Klingberg: Logs helper in Game 2 win
Klingberg provided an assist, two shots on goal, two hits and three blocked shots in Thursday's 5-4 overtime win over the Golden Knights in Game 2.
Klingberg has handled top-four minutes this postseason, and he's doing alright with them. The veteran defenseman has three assists, 13 shots on net, eight hits, 15 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating through seven playoff contests. Klingberg probably won't be a leader in any area defensively, but he's doing enough to stay in the lineup.

Oilers' John Klingberg: Manages assist in Game 5
Klingberg posted an assist, five shots on goal and three hits in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Kings in Game 5.
Klingberg has racked up two assists, nine shots on net, five hits, six blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over four playoff appearances. The 32-year-old is seeing top-four minutes but just traces of power-play time for the Oilers. Klingberg has a good track record on offense, but he can be a defensive liability, so it wouldn't be surprising if Edmonton limited his usage later in the postseason.
