Sharks' Mario Ferraro: Positive contributions in defeat
Rotowire
Ferraro held a plus-3 rating, recorded four hits and blocked two shots in a 4-3 loss to the Canadiens on Thursday.
Ferraro played an outstanding game Thursday, filling up the stat sheet. He was on the ice for all three Sharks goals and none of the four Canadiens goals, giving him a game-high plus-3 rating. Unfortunately for fantasy managers, filling up the stat sheet did not include recording a point, extending his pointless streak to eight games. With no usage on the power play and playing on a struggling team like the Sharks, fantasy managers would be wise to look elsewhere for defensemen.

Sharks' Mario Ferraro: Draws helper Saturday
Rotowire
Ferraro recorded an assist and fired three shots on goal in Saturday's 7-2 loss to the Panthers.
Ferraro has three points over his last two contests. The 26-year-old defenseman has occupied a top-four role all season, so it's not surprising that he occasionally chips in offensively despite primarily serving in a shutdown capacity. Ferraro has 11 points, 54 shots on net, 115 hits, 71 blocked shots, 30 PIM and a minus-22 rating through 52 appearances. His limited offense and poor plus-minus may make it difficult to roster him despite his strong physical play.

Rotowire
Ferraro scored a goal on two shots and added five PIM in Thursday's 2-1 win over the Lightning.

Sharks' Mario Ferraro: Strong in non-scoring areas
Rotowire
Ferraro has not recorded a point over the Sharks' first 10 games in December.
Ferraro's value typically comes from non-scoring production -- he has 20 hits, 11 PIM and eight blocked shots this month. Overall, the 26-year-old defenseman has six points, 91 hits, 54 blocked shots, 21 PIM and a minus-16 rating through 37 appearances. He should continue to fill a top-four role, but without much likelihood of stronger offense, he has low fantasy value.

Rotowire
Ferraro scored a goal, added two PIM and logged three hits in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Senators.
The goal was Ferraro's first since April 13. The defenseman has three points over his last six contests, and that's about as good a pace as he can muster on offense. For the season, he has five points, 27 shots on net, 70 hits, 43 blocked shots and a minus-10 rating through 25 appearances. Ferraro's fantasy value is limited to formats that reward more than just offense.

The 26-year-old is not in the lineup for his offense.

Ferraro snapped an eight-game point drought with this helper. During that slump, he went minus-9 with 24 hits and 14 blocked shots. The 26-year-old defenseman plays a physical game, and that doesn't often include making much of an impact on offense. He's at three helpers, 23 shots on net, 56 hits, 39 blocks and a minus-8 rating through 20 appearances.

Ferraro recorded an assist, six hits and six blocked shots in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Kings.
Ferraro's two helpers this season have come over the last three games.

He has accumulated 30 hits, 24 blocked shots, 13 shots on net and a minus-1 rating over 11 appearances.

Sharks' Mario Ferraro: Lends helper in loss
Rotowire
Ferraro notched an assist and five hits in Saturday's 7-3 loss to the Golden Knights.
The assist was Ferraro's first point of the season. The 26-year-old defenseman began the year on the top pairing, but he's gone six games without exceeding 20 minutes of ice time. He's also not part of the power play, with Jake Walman and Jack Thompson seeing the most time with the man advantage. Ferraro has racked up 21 hits, 17 blocked shots, nine shots on net and a plus-1 rating, serving as a steady top-four defender, but his fantasy appeal is limited to deep formats.

Sharks' Mario Ferraro: Injured Monday

Ferraro took a spill into the boards during the second period and did not come back to the game.

Ferraro notched three assists in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Senators.

Ferraro has three multi-assist performances in the last 10 games, racking up eight helpers in total, but those are his only points during that stretch. San Jose is taking a long look at Calen Addison on the first power-play unit, but Ferraro is quarterbacking the second unit and has been the team's most productive scorer off the blue line of late.

Sharks' Mario Ferraro: Distributes trio of assists
Rotowire
Ferraro notched three assists and four blocked shots in Saturday's 7-4 loss to the Canucks.
Ferraro has four helpers over his last two games, though it's likely just a short-term uptick on offense.

He's already at nine points through 34 contests while adding 58 shots on net, 37 hits, 96 blocked shots and a minus-18 rating.
