Wennberg Talks Return, Parries Injury Questions | Sharks vs. Islanders Morning Skate (11.9.26)

Is Alexander Wennberg back? The San Jose Sharks center confirmed he returns tonight against the New York Islanders at the Sharks' morning skate at SAP Center in San Jose (Nov. 9, 2026): "Yeah, today I'm playing, so I'm excited." On the injury: "Not really, no. I mean, not for bad injury. That's all you're going to get."

Wennberg on the frustration of sitting out ("I try to use it as fuel"), what he saw watching from up top during the losing streak ("there's no panic"), the Sharks' penalty kill, and Ivar Stenberg's 5-on-5 progression ("it's something for him to really build on").
