Goalie Start
Nedeljkovic was the first goalie off the ice at the Sharks morning skate.
San Jose has signed Ty Dellandrea to a two-year contract worth $1.625 million AAV ($3.25M total).
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.
Brossoit has been recalled from San Jose (AHL) on Friday.
With Yarsolav Askarov (lower body) battling an injury, the Sharks have recalled Brossoit from the San Jose Barracuda (AHL). The severity of Askarov's injury is unclear, but Brossoit will likely serve primarily as Alex Nedeljkovic's backup while he is with the Sharks.
Eklund (lower-body) is on the ice for warmups and is expected to play in Boston on Thursday.
Eklund was absence from practice on Wednesday and his status for Thursday's game against the Boston Bruins was up in the air. The 23-year-old Swedish forward has 38 points (11G / 27A) in 58 games this season, but has been held off the scoresheet in three straight.
Askarov (lower-body) will not dress for Thursday's game in Boston.
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.
Eklund (lower-body) will be a game-time decision in Boston on Thursday.

Askarov (lower-body) tweaked something during morning skate and is questionable to back up in Boston.
With Alex Nedeljkovic already confirmed as the Sharks' starting goalie for Thursday's game against the Boston Bruins, it is unclear if 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 has not been completely ruled out of the game.
Goalie Start
Nedeljkovic will start in Boston on Thursday.
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). The Sharks enter Thursday's contest as +139 road underdogs against a Boston Bruins team that is 13-0-0 on home ice since late December.
Chernyshov has been recalled from the San Jose Barracuda (AHL).
Chernyshov was effective while making his NHL debut earlier this season, scoring 11 points (3G / 8A) in 15 games with the Sharks, but has been in the AHL since mid-January. The 20-year-old second-round pick from the 2024 NHL Entry Draft has 33 points (13G / 20A) in 41 games with the San Jose Barracuda (AHL) this season.
