Every call on this site goes on a public ledger and gets graded. The misses stay up.
Ivar Stenberg, in San Jose's teal home sweater, skates past the bench for fist bumps after a goal against the Los Angeles Kings' rookies at the 2026 Rookie Faceoff in San Jose on Sept. 12, 2026, with a Kings player in white behind him.

Joshua Ravensbergen, the No. 7 prospect and a Michigan State freshman, stopped 71 of 73 shots in two starts at New Hampshire. He lost 1-0 and won 2-1, a .973 save percentage for the weekend.

That is the prospect of the week, and it is two games. His whole college season is four starts: 112 saves on 117 shots, .957, through October 26.

Ivar Stenberg, the No. 1 prospect, had three points in three games, one of them an empty-net goal at Ottawa. He was third at Montreal, eighth at Ottawa and fourth at Boston in total ice time, which counts the power play, among the twelve San Jose forwards who dressed each night.

All thirty ranks held on the prospect board for October 20 through October 26. Cole McKinney has eight points in seven games and stays No. 15 behind Mattias Havelid until his season is eight games old; Michigan played once this week. Luca Cagnoni holds at No. 5 after being scratched for all three San Jose games.

Five Sharks Prospects Are Enrolled In College, Which Costs Them The Rookie Faceoff San Jose Is Hosting

San Jose hosts the Rookie Faceoff from September 12 to 15 at Tech CU Arena and Sharks Ice, playing Los Angeles on the 12th and Utah on the 13th, and five of its draft picks are barred from it because they are enrolled college players: Keaton Verhoeff at North Dakota, Ryan Lin at Denver, Haoxi Wang at Boston University, Joshua Ravensbergen at Michigan State and Cole McKinney at Michigan. College Hockey Inc's eligibility rules allow a student-athlete to attend an NHL development camp and forbid him from playing in a rookie tournament. Four of the five came out of major junior and are in college only because the NCAA changed the rule in 2024. One take filed.

San Jose's kill was allowing the chances before it allowed the goals

San Jose's penalty kill fell from 84.9 to 76.4 percent in four games. MoneyPuck's four-on-five numbers show the chances were already among the league's worst before the goals came, and the last four games made them worse.

Celebrini's line won the chances, but Toffoli was on for both regulation goals

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.

Pohlkamp reaches San Jose, and the board does not move

Pohlkamp's first NHL games are the week's real change on the Sharks prospect board; Stenberg's three goals are the louder one, and nobody moves.

Michael Kesselring Went From Seventy Power Play Minutes To Two Seconds In One Season

Michael Kesselring played 69:49 on the power play for Utah in 2024-25 across all 82 games, then two seconds in 34 injury-shortened games for Buffalo. San Jose's blue line gave 82 percent of its power-play minutes to two men last season, Dmitry Orlov and John Klingberg, and Klingberg, a right shot, is gone. The club's roster feed lists four right-shot defensemen and two of them have never played an NHL game. Jacob Trouba, the other one who has, owns one power-play point across his last 158 games. That leaves the Utah season as the only evidence San Jose has that anybody on its right side can do the job.
