In a standout performance, John Klingberg logged two assists in the San Jose Sharks’ 4-2 win over the Montreal Canadiens on March 14, 2026. This marks Klingberg’s first multi-point effort since January 27, when he also achieved two assists against the Vancouver Canucks.
Klingberg’s contributions were crucial in securing the victory, as he also registered two hits and two blocked shots during the game. Over his last four contests, he has accumulated three assists, indicating a positive trend in his performance.
Despite this recent uptick, Klingberg has slipped to the second power-play unit, which may impact his overall contributions moving forward. This season, he has recorded 10 goals and 14 assists, totaling 77 shots on net, 60 blocked shots, 41 hits, and 20 penalty minutes across 50 games, with a minus-13 rating.
As the Sharks continue their push for a playoff spot, they remain just one point shy of the Los Angeles Kings for the Western Conference’s second wild-card position. Klingberg’s recent performance could be vital as the team looks to secure a postseason berth.
Looking ahead, the Sharks will visit the Ottawa Senators on Sunday, while the Canadiens will host the Anaheim Ducks on the same day. Both teams will be eager to build on their recent performances as the season progresses.
