Ward has been sidelined by a shoulder injury since February 8th but is set to re-join the Sharks lineup for Tuesday’s game vs. the Devils. He has picked up just 11 points (5G / 6A) in 46 games this season.
Ward has been sitting as a healthy scratch since the second game of the season (five games) but will replace Jannik Hansen in the lineup tonight. Ward has no points in two games this season and no longer carries any fantasy value.
Ward was a healthy scratch last Friday, was back in the lineup on Sunday, but will come out again tonight. Ward will be replaced by Michael Haley.
Ward has collected just two goals in 30 games this season and has not scored since November 23rd. Ward will be replaced by Timo Meier, who will be making his NHL debut.
It appears as if keeping Ward out of the final two preseason games is just a precaution so that he is ready for the start of the regular season. Ward is coming off of a 43-point (21G / 22A) year in his debut season with the Sharks.
Ward missed Tuesday’s game in Vancouver, but he will return tonight. There is no indication what was ailing Ward, but it obviously wasn’t serious. Ward has 21 goals and 21 assists (42 points) in 74 games this season.
Ward has missed the last two games with an undisclosed injury, but will return to the lineup tonight. Ward has 10 goals and 13 assists (23 points) in 32 games this season.
Ward will be held out of Sunday’s game with an undisclosed injury, which opens the door for Ben Smith to play in his first game since October 31st. There is no word on the nature or severity of Ward’s injury, but he is listed as day-to-day and questionable for Tuesday’s contest. With the Christmas break looming, he could be held out of that game just to give him and additional six days of rest.
Ward missed the last nine games of the regular season because of a bruised left knee. He will return on the fourth line with Matt Hendricks and Jay Beagle.
We will have to wait until tomorrow for an official word on Ward's status.
Ward has missed the last eight games with a knee injury. It would be beneficial for him to get back into the lineup to get back up to game speed before jumping into playoff action.
Ward will miss his eighth straight game with a bruised left knee suffered when he blocked a shot from Tampa Bay Lightning defenseman Sami Salo on April 7. He has skated gingerly a few times solo since then, but Thursday appeared to mark some progress.
Ward will miss his seventh straight game with a left knee issue.
Ward has not skated since blocking a shot from Tampa Bay Lightning defenseman Sami Salo. Coach Adam Oates said he didn’t know how long the right wing would be out.
