Egor Afanasyev

25-Year-Old Left WingLW
San Jose Sharks
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Afanasyev went back to Russia in 2024-25, logging just 21 points in 53 appearances with CSKA Moscow of the KHL. His NHL rights remained with the Sharks, and he got under contract for 2025-26 by signing an $800,000 contract this spring. Afanasyev is far from guaranteed to make the NHL roster after an uninspiring season in Russia. He has just one goal in 19 NHL appearances, all with the Predators, but he also produced 113 points over 187 career AHL games with Milwaukee when he was a Nashville prospect, which shows some scoring upside if he gets a look with the Sharks.

Two goals in Friday's AHL win
LWSan Jose Sharks  Minors
February 6, 2026
Afanasyev scored twice in AHL San Jose's 7-3 win over Abbotsford on Friday.
ANALYSIS
Afanasyev had a seven-game point streak snapped Wednesday, but he bounced right back. The 25-year-old winger is still waiting for a chance with the big club, but he's earned nine goals and 22 points over 35 outings this season. He had 54 points in 56 regular-season contests in 2023-24 and spent 2024-25 in the KHL.

Likely to begin year on IR
LWSan Jose Sharks  Minors
October 5, 2025
Afanasyev will likely begin the regular season on injured reserve for an undisclosed reason, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports Sunday.
ANALYSIS
While the nature of Afanasyev's injury isn't yet clear, the 24-year-old will likely miss the start of the 2025-26 campaign as a result. He could be in the mix for a bottom-six role when he's healthy, but it also wouldn't be surprising to see him sent to the minors.
