Carpenter scored a goal in Tuesday's 7-6 overtime loss to the Stars.
Carpenter had been limited to one assist over his previous 12 outings. Lengthy scoring droughts should come as no surprise for a player stuck in a fourth-line role on one of the league's weakest teams. Carpenter has done well to generate 11 points with 42 shots on net, 35 hits, 24 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating through 44 outings this season, but that's not enough production to warrant a roster spot in fantasy.

Sharks' Ryan Carpenter: Bags apple Tuesday
Rotowire
Carpenter notched an assist in Tuesday's 7-2 loss to the Devils.
Carpenter snapped his eight-game point drought with the helper on Justin Bailey's third-period marker. The 33-year-old Carpenter continues to log regular shifts as the Sharks' fourth-line center. He's produced 10 points, 38 shots on net, 33 hits and a minus-4 rating over 40 outings, so he doesn't need to be tracked in fantasy.

Sharks' Ryan Carpenter: On four-game point streak
Rotowire
Carpenter scored a goal in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Rangers.
Carpenter is surprisingly on a four-game point streak (two goals, two assists), with his latest contribution being the third-period equalizer for the Sharks against his former team. The 33-year-old forward plays on San Jose's fourth line, so any offense is a welcome sight for him. Overall, Carpenter has nine points, 31 shots on net, 23 hits, 18 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over 31 appearances.

Sharks' Ryan Carpenter: Activated off IR
Rotowire
Carpenter (undisclosed) was activated off injured reserve Thursday, Max Miller of The Hockey News reports.
Carpenter's activation should clear the way for him to get into the lineup against the Oilers on Thursday, which leaves both Kevin Labanc and Justin Bailey as potential candidates to be relegated to the press box. Carpenter shouldn't be expected to start racking up points considering he has never reached the 20-point mark in his career.

Sharks' Ryan Carpenter: Not traveling with team
Rotowire
Carpenter (undisclosed) will not join the Sharks' for their two-game road trip, Max Miller of The Hockey News reports Friday.
Carpenter has already been out of action for the club's last four games due to his undisclosed injury and will now be out of action for at least two more. In his 18 games this season, the Florida native has scored just one goal while recording 21 shots and four helpers. Given his limited offensive upside, few fantasy players are likely to be impacted by his continued absence.

Sharks' Ryan Carpenter: Tallies first goal of season
Rotowire
Carpenter scored a goal on four shots in Sunday's 6-5 loss to the Rangers.
Carpenter put the Sharks ahead 2-1 midway through the first period, firing a wrist shot off the glove of Jonathan Quick for his first goal of the season. The 32-year-old center now has five points (one goal, four assists) through 18 games this year. Carpenter isn't likely to merit much fantasy consideration while skating in a bottom-six role on a last-place Sharks team -- his career high is 18 points in the 2018-19 campaign.

Sharks' Ryan Carpenter: Picks up pair of helpers
Rotowire
Carpenter logged two assists in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Blues.
Carpenter helped out on goals by Givani Smith and Luke Kunin as the Sharks' fourth line made an impact in the second period. Through 10 outings, Carpenter now has three helpers, 10 shots on net, six hits, six blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating. He's been a solid fourth-liner, but that role on a weak team doesn't lead to much fantasy interest.

Sharks' Ryan Carpenter: Supplies assist Thursday
Rotowire
Carpenter produced an assist and two blocked shots in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Oilers.
Carpenter picked up his first point in six appearances with a secondary helper on Filip Zadina's third-period marker. Carpenter saw a season-low 6:48 of ice time in the contest. The 32-year-old forward has never recorded more than 18 points in a season, and it's very unlikely he comes anywhere near that mark in the Sharks' low-scoring offense.

Rangers' Ryan Carpenter: Gets first goal with new team
Rotowire
Carpenter scored a goal on three shots and added two PIM in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Coyotes.
Carpenter sat out as a healthy scratch in the previous two games. He responded well, tallying the Rangers' fourth goal to add some insurance to their lead. The 31-year-old is the epitome of a defense-first fourth-liner, so it's no surprise it took some time for him to get his first goal as a Ranger. He's up to two points, 11 shots on net, 23 hits, six PIM and a minus-4 rating through 14 contests.

Rangers' Ryan Carpenter: Scratched for blowout win
Rotowire
Carpenter was a healthy scratch for Thursday's 8-2 win over the Red Wings.
Carpenter helps out on faceoffs and is a defensively responsible fourth-line center, but coach Gerard Gallant was looking to spark the Rangers' slumping offense Thursday, and scratching Carpenter proved to be a prudent move since the fourth-line combination of Barclay Goodrow, Sammy Blais and Julien Gauthier combined for two goals and five points. It may take an injury for Carpenter to work his way back into the lineup.
