Ty Dellandrea's time on ice per game for San Jose in 2026-27 finishes below 13:00, down from 14:11 in 46 games in 2025-26.
San Jose scores 2.0 or fewer goals per sixty minutes at even strength with Zack Ostapchuk on the ice across the club's first 25 games of 2026-27, no better than the 1.6 he posted across 59 games in 2025-26.
Kiefer Sherwood averages under 1:45 a night on the power play across San Jose's first 20 games of 2026-27.
Tyler Toffoli scores fewer than 15 even-strength goals for San Jose in the 2026-27 regular season.
Collin Graf is not among San Jose's top eight forwards in total power-play time on ice across the club's first 20 regular-season games of 2026-27.
Ivar Stenberg appears in 11 or more of San Jose's first 13 regular-season games in 2026-27.
San Jose's share of five-on-five expected goals across its games six through ten of 2026-27 (Boston on October 13 through Montreal on October 20) is 40.0 percent or higher, per MoneyPuck. Scored by subtracting the five-game five-on-five totals in MoneyPuck's 2026-27 team summary file as read on October 13 (6.40 expected goals for, 12.28 against) from the same file's ten-game totals, then dividing for by for-plus-against. 40.0 exactly counts as RIGHT. If MoneyPuck revises the five-game totals, the revised five-game figures are used on both ends.

San Jose beat the New York Islanders 3-2 in an eight-round shootout at SAP Center on Monday and ended a five-game losing streak. Tyler Toffoli was on the ice for both regulation goals in 10:57. The Misa, Celebrini and Smith line won its five-on-five chances and scored nothing, and Ilya Sorokin stopped all three shots on a two-minute four-on-three.

San Jose practiced on October 12 with four new forward lines: Chernyshov-Celebrini-Smith, Stenberg-Misa-Sherwood, Marchment-Wennberg-Toffoli and Ostapchuk between Graf and either Dellandrea or Gaudette, with Barclay Goodrow off the ice with an illness and questionable for Tuesday's game against Boston. The defense pairs did not change. Ivar Stenberg, 19, replaced Chernyshov on the first power-play unit; San Jose is 2 for 13 on the power play and 0 for 7 over its last three games. Warsofsky said the club is not playing in the offensive zone enough to create offense. At five-on-five San Jose has scored 7 goals and allowed 13 through five games, with 34.3 percent of MoneyPuck's expected goals, 31st of 32 clubs; last season's full-year share was 47.6 percent. Boston, 4-2-0, has allowed 7 five-on-five goals in six games.

No San Jose skater spent a larger share of his ice time on the power play last season than Tyler Toffoli, who gave 19.6 percent of his minutes to the man advantage across 79 games. That is the half of his game that has not moved in two years: 232.9 power-play minutes and 15 power-play points in 2025-26, against 240.8 minutes and 15 points the season before. His goal total went 30 to 19 over the same stretch, and all eleven of the missing goals were even-strength goals. Professor Hockey's August 28 opening-night units leave him off both, a call he flagged himself as the one he is least confident in.
