He will conclude the campaign with seven goals, nine points, 49 shots on net and 40 hits in 34 appearances. None
April 13, 2024 MacDonald (undisclosed) is expected to play Saturday against Minnesota, according to Max Miller of The Hockey News. - MacDonald won't miss any additional action after leaving Thursday's 3-1 loss to Seattle. He has accounted for seven goals, nine points, 49 shots on net and 40 hits in 34 contests this campaign. None
April 11, 2024 MacDonald (undisclosed) won't return to Thursday's game versus the Kraken. - MacDonald was ruled out for the game early in the third period. He saw just 5:54 of ice time in the contest, and it's unclear why he exited the game. The Sharks' next game is Saturday versus the Wild. None
April 9, 2024 MacDonald scored a goal in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Flames. - MacDonald converted on a pass from Mike Hoffman at 2:22 of the second period. The 31-year-old MacDonald snapped a 15-game goal drought dating back to Dec. 23 -- he's missed time both due to injury and as a healthy scratch in that span, and he also spent a stint at AHL San Jose. The winger/defenseman has seven goals, two assists, 49 shots on net, 39 hits and a minus-14 rating through 33 appearances this season. None
March 21, 2024 MacDonald registered an assist in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Lightning. - MacDonald was expected to be scratched initially, but Mike Hoffman (upper body) wasn't able to suit up. The helper was MacDonald's first point since his goal Dec. 23 versus the Canucks. The winger/defenseman is up to eight points, 48 shots on net, 38 hits, 21 PIM and a minus-13 rating through 28 appearances this season, matching his point total form 58 contests a year ago. None
March 16, 2024 MacDonald (illness) will return to the lineup versus Columbus on Saturday, according to Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now. - MacDonald was a late scratch Thursday in Pittsburgh, forcing the Sharks to play with only five healthy defensemen. He has six goals and seven points in 24 games, as the 31-year-old veteran saw plenty of action as a fourth-line forward earlier in the campaign. He is expected to line up on the third pairing Saturday, alongside Calen Addison. None
March 14, 2024 MacDonald (illness) won't be in the lineup Thursday versus the Penguins, Max Miller of The Hockey News reports. - MacDonald has played in the last two games since he was called up last Friday. The 31-year-old was playing on defense after seeing time as a forward earlier in the year. His absence, combined with Jan Rutta (lower body) being out, leaves the Sharks with just five healthy blueliners for the contest. MacDonald's next chance to play is Saturday versus the Blue Jackets. None
March 8, 2024 MacDonald was summoned from AHL San Jose on Friday, per the AHL's transaction list. - MacDonald has four assists in six contests with AHL San Jose in 2023-24. He has also collected six goals and seven points in 22 appearances with the Sharks. None
Feb. 20, 2024 MacDonald was put on waivers Tuesday, according to Chris Johnston of The Athletic. - MacDonald has been a versatile player for the Sharks this season, seeing playing time at forward and on defense. He has registered six goals, one assist and 34 shots on net over 22 appearances in 2023-24. None
Jan. 29, 2024 MacDonald (lower body) was activated from injured reserve Monday, Max Miller of The Hockey News reports. - Mario Ferraro (lower body) was moved to injured reserve in a corresponding move. MacDonald, who hasn't been in the lineup since Dec. 23 against Vancouver, will be an option to play Tuesday versus Seattle. He has six goals, one assist, 31 shots on net and 14 hits in 17 appearances this campaign. None
Jan. 27, 2024 MacDonald (lower body) won't be activated from IR for Saturday's game versus Buffalo, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports. - It'll be the 15th game MacDonald's missed since he was placed on injured reserve Dec. 27. The 30-year-old blueliner has six goals and seven points in 17 contests this season. MacDonald's next chance to suit up will come Tuesday against the Kraken. None
Jan. 25, 2024 MacDonald (lower body) might be available to play Saturday versus Buffalo, according to Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News. - MacDonald has six goals, seven points and 21 PIM in 17 contests while averaging 11:54 of ice time. There's no guarantee MacDonald will draw into the lineup once he's healthy. None
Jan. 23, 2024 MacDonald (lower body) could return prior to the All-Star break, Max Miller of The Hockey News reports. - MacDonald has missed the last 13 games with his lower-body issue, but it sounds like he could be ready to return before the end of January. He's picked up six goals and seven points through 17 contests this season. None
Jan. 20, 2024 MacDonald (lower body) skated Saturday but is a ways away from playing, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports. - MacDonald was last in the lineup Dec. 23. He has six goals, seven points, 21 PIM, 14 hits and nine blocks in 17 appearances this season. MacDonald might slot into the third pairing once he's healthy, but it also wouldn't be surprising to see him spend time in the press box as a healthy scratch. None
Dec. 27, 2023 MacDonald (undisclosed) was put on injured reserve Wednesday, per Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News. - MacDonald last played Saturday, so this move is presumably retroactive to that date, which would make him eligible to return Sunday versus Colorado. The 30-year-old defenseman has six goals and seven points in 17 contests this campaign. The Sharks might compensate for MacDonald's absence by dressing Calen Addison (lower body) on Wednesday if he's able to return or Henry Thrun if Addison remains unavailable. None
Dec. 24, 2023 MacDonald scored a goal on two shots in Saturday's 7-4 loss to the Canucks. - MacDonald got the Sharks within a goal in the third period, but they got no closer. The 30-year-old has tallied twice over the last four contests since he was scratched twice in a row. He's bounced around between a bottom-six forward role and a third-pairing role on defense based on the personnel the Sharks have available for any given game. MacDonald is at six goals -- double what he had over his first four NHL campaigns combined -- with one assists, 31 shots on net, 14 hits, 21 PIM and a minus-10 rating through 17 outings. None
Dec. 19, 2023 MacDonald scored a power-play goal on three shots and blocked two shots in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Kings. - MacDonald broke up David Rittich's shutout bid with a goal at 18:41 of the third period. The 30-year-old MacDonald had been scratched in a couple of recent games, and he was ejected early in his last outing Sunday versus the Avalanche. He returned to defense Tuesday after spending much of the season as a winger, filling in on the third pairing with Calen Addison (lower body) and Jan Rutta (illness) out. MacDonald has five goals, one assist, 26 shots on net, 21 PIM and a minus-9 rating over 15 appearances. None
Dec. 2, 2023 MacDonald scored a pair of goals on three shots in Friday's 6-3 win over the Devils. - MacDonald had been held off the scoresheet over his last six games since returning from an undisclosed injury. The 30-year-old continues to be deployed as a forward for the Sharks, though his bottom-six role in a weak offense negates any fantasy benefit from his potential multi-position eligibility. MacDonald has three goals, one assist, 16 shots on net, nine hits and a minus-8 rating through nine appearances so far. None
Nov. 20, 2023 MacDonald (undisclosed) will be activated from injured reserve ahead of his return to the lineup Monday against Vancouver, per Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now. - MacDonald is projected to play as a fourth-line forward in the contest. He has produced one goal, one assist, six shots on net and two blocked shots over two appearances this season. None
Nov. 8, 2023 MacDonald (undisclosed) was put on the injured reserve list Wednesday. - MacDonald was activated off the injured reserve Oct. 31, but after recording a goal and two points in two contests with the Sharks, he wasn't in the lineup Tuesday versus Philadelphia. It's possible MacDonald's placement on injured reserve might be retroactive to his last contest Saturday. If that's the case, then he'd be eligible to be activated for Sunday's game against Anaheim. None
Nov. 5, 2023 MacDonald scored a goal on three shots, added an assist and went minus-4 in Saturday's 10-2 loss to the Penguins. - Both of MacDonald's points came on the power play. The defenseman-turned-winger has been in the lineup in each of the last two games, going minus-5 with two points, six shots on goal and a pair of blocked shots. MacDonald started on the fourth line Saturday but took some shifts with Tomas Hertl as the contest progressed. Whether he can stick on the power play or in the top six remains to be seen, but the Sharks figure to be creative after giving up 20 goals over the last two contests. None
Oct. 31, 2023 MacDonald (undisclosed) was activated off injured reserve Tuesday. - MacDonald has yet to play this year due to an undisclosed injury, but it looks like he's now fully healthy, so he should be available for Thursday's game versus Vancouver. The 30-year-old defender picked up six points through 25 games as a rotational, bottom-pairing option for San Jose in 2022-23, a role he'll likely reprise in 2023-24. None
Oct. 9, 2023 MacDonald (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Monday, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports. - It's unclear when MacDonald was injured or what he's dealing with but he'll miss at least three games to begin the season. The 30-year-old blueliner tallied eight points in 58 games with San Jose and Colorado last year. None
April 6, 2023 MacDonald notched an assist and three shots on goal in Thursday's 6-2 loss to the Avalanche. - MacDonald was able to get on the scoresheet against his former team when he helped out on a Steven Lorentz tally in the second period. Through three games in April, MacDonald has three assists, five shots on net and three hits. The 30-year-old has been deployed as a forward while the Sharks deal with injuries to a number of wingers. He has eight points, 68 shots on net, 58 hits, 40 blocked shots and a minus-10 rating through 54 contests between the Sharks and the Avalanche this season. None
April 4, 2023 MacDonald notched an assist, two hits and two PIM in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Avalanche. - MacDonald has an assist in each of the last two games to begin April after he failed to get on the scoresheet through six outings in March. The 30-year-old is up to seven points, 65 shots on net, 58 hits, 39 blocked shots, 23 PIM and a minus-11 rating through 53 contests between the Sharks and the Avalanche this season. None
March 23, 2023 MacDonald (upper body) won't return Thursday versus Vancouver, per the NHL media site. - MacDonald also missed the Sharks' previous seven games. He has a goal, five points, 52 hits and 37 blocks in 48 contests this season. When he's ready to play, it will likely be as part of the third pairing. None
March 22, 2023 MacDonald (upper body) is close to returning, according to Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now. - MacDonald, who has been unavailable since March 6, isn't guaranteed to play Thursday versus Vancouver, but there's at least a chance he'll be ready for that contest. The 30-year-old has a goal and five points in 48 appearances in 2022-23. When MacDonald's healthy, he might replace Nikolai Knyzhov in the lineup. None
March 11, 2023 MacDonald (undisclosed) won't play versus the Wild on Saturday, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports. - MacDonald is set to miss his third straight game, and at this point there's no telling when he might rejoin the lineup. The Sharks' homestand continues Tuesday versus the Blue Jackets. None
March 9, 2023 MacDonald (undisclosed) will remain sidelined versus St. Louis on Thursday, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports. - MacDonald will miss his second straight contest due to his undisclosed injury. In 15 games since joining the Sharks, the defenseman has garnered three points which is more than he earned in 33 contests for Colorado this year. Either way, the Portland native shouldn't be expected to offer much in the way of offensive upside once cleared to play. None
March 6, 2023 MacDonald (undisclosed) will not return to Monday's game against the Jets. - MacDonald logged two PIM in just 1:55 of ice time Monday. An update on his status should be available before Tuesday's game in Colorado. He has three points in 15 games since joining the Sharks. None
March 1, 2023 MacDonald scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Canadiens. - MacDonald has a goal and two helpers over his last five games. The 30-year-old is benefiting from more playing time lately, though he remains in a bottom-four role. His goal was his first at the NHL level since the 2020-21 campaign, and he's picked up five points, a minus-8 rating, 49 shots on net, 49 hits and 33 blocked shots through 45 contests between the Sharks and the Avalanche this season. None
Feb. 26, 2023 MacDonald produced an assist, four shots on goal and two hits in Saturday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Blackhawks. - MacDonald has picked up two assists over his last four games. Those are his only contributions with the Sharks in 11 outings, and it matches his output from 33 contests with the Avalanche prior to a January trade. MacDonald has added 47 shots on net, 49 hits, 33 blocked shots and a minus-8 rating while filling a bottom-four role between the two teams this season. None
Feb. 19, 2023 MacDonald logged an assist, six shots on goal, three blocked shots and two hits in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Sabres. - MacDonald set up Evgeny Svechnikov's first-period tally. This was MacDonald's best game as a Shark, and it also yielded his first point in eight contests with his new team. He's seen a much more traditional usage on defense in San Jose than he did in Colorado, where he was an occasional winger and rarely used for much more than 10 minutes. The 29-year-old has three helpers, a minus-6 rating, 42 shots on net, 45 hits, 30 blocked shots and 15 PIM through 41 appearances this season. None
Jan. 25, 2023 MacDonald and Martin Kaut were traded from the Avalanche to the Sharks in exchange for Matt Nieto and Ryan Merkley on Wednesday. - MacDonald has seen time as both a defenseman, his natural position, and a fourth-line winger. The 29-year-old arguably hasn't been particularly effective in either role with two assists, 29 shots on net, 29 hits, 14 blocked shots, 11 PIM and a minus-3 rating through 33 contests. He should have a chance to compete for bottom-four minutes on the Sharks' blue line. None
Jan. 22, 2023 MacDonald registered an assist in Saturday's 2-1 shootout win over the Kraken. - MacDonald's helper was his second of the year -- his only other assist came Nov. 19 versus the Capitals. The 29-year-old has played somewhat regularly of late, as injuries have left the Avalanche's depth in shambles. He's at two helpers, 28 shots on net, 28 hits and a minus-4 rating through 32 appearances, so he's unlikely to be a factor in fantasy. None
Nov. 27, 2022 MacDonald had four hits and a five-minute fighting major in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Stars. - MacDonald went at with Luke Glendening in the third period, after MacDonald doled out a heavy hit on the opponent. It was MacDonald's first fight and penalty of the season. He's getting time on the third defensive pair with both Bowen Byram (lower body) and Kurtis MacDermid (lower body) idled by injuries. None
Nov. 20, 2022 MacDonald had an assist, four shots on goal, two hits and three blocked shots over 14:48 of ice time in Saturday's 4-0 win over Washington. - MacDonald filled in on the blue line with three Colorado defensemen nursing injuries. His third-period slapshot redirected off Andrew Cogliano's leg for the Avalanche's third goal. It was MacDonald's third point of the season. He swings between defense and winger on the fourth line, so he's not often in a position to provide offense. None
Oct. 29, 2022 MacDonald played five shifts for 3:21 TOI in Friday's 1-0 loss to the Devils. - MacDonald served as a fourth-line winger to start the game, but his night was over by early in the second period. He never got off the bench over the final 38 minutes. The fourth line has seen a revolving door of forwards, as head coach Jared Bednar's still searching for the right combination. None
Oct. 6, 2022 Colorado head coach Jared Bednar said MacDonald "tweaked something" and will miss time, Brennan Vogt of Colorado Hockey Now reports. - MacDonald was active for Monday's preseason win over the Stars but had just 5:34 of ice time. He's a spare part for the Avalanche but a useful one, as MacDonald cycles between defense and wing. He dealt with injuries last season while going back and forth between the NHL and AHL Colorado. None
July 10, 2022 MacDonald signed a two-year contract with Colorado on Sunday. - MacDonald dressed in just eight games with the Avalanche and failed to score a point last season. During the 2020-21 campaign, he tallied nine points in 33 appearances. The 29-year-old should fill a depth role for the organization once again next season. None
April 28, 2022 MacDonald was called up from AHL Colorado on Friday. - MacDonald will be an option for Friday's game versus the Wild as the Avalanche may elect to rotate Cale Makar out of the lineup for rest. None
Feb. 25, 2022 MacDonald (head) was reassigned to AHL Colorado on Friday, Peter Baugh of The Athletic reports. - MacDonald had been sidelined with a head injury, but now that he's healthy, he'll head to the minors to get some much-needed playing time. He's gone scoreless through seven top-level appearances this year. None
Feb. 15, 2022 MacDonald's injury is described as a head injury, per Terry Frei of Colorado Hockey Now. - MacDonald, who has recently resumed skating, has been out since mid-December with what was referred to as an "undisclosed" injury. However, Frei's report allows for a more precise descriptor. MacDonald started to practice in a no-contact jersey but has recently shed it and is nearing a return. None
Feb. 9, 2022 MacDonald (undisclosed) took part in practice Tuesday but wore a no-contact jersey, Adrian Dater of Colorado Hockey Now reports. "He's making progress," Avalanche head coach Jared Bednar said. "It's slow, but it's steady. He feels real good about where he's at." - It's been nearly two months since MacDonald appeared in a game. He helped fill in earlier this season when Colorado dealt with injuries and COVID-19 issues, but with the team largely back at full strength, MacDonald's presence is not needed these days. None
Jan. 18, 2022 MacDonald (undisclosed) was transferred to long-term injured reserve Tuesday, per CapFriendly. - MacDonald has already been out for over a month, so this is simply a paper move. The Avalanche have yet to establish a timeline for the 28-year-old's return to action. None
Dec. 16, 2021 MacDonald (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Thursday, per CapFriendly. - Assuming his placement on IR is retroactive, MacDonald won't be eligible to return until Monday's game versus the Red Wings. The Avalanche called up Jordan Gross from AHL Colorado to fill the roster spot. None
Dec. 14, 2021 MacDonald (undisclosed) is not in the lineup Tuesday versus the Rangers, Peter Baugh of The Athletic reports. - MacDonald will be forced to miss at least one game with the injury he sustained Sunday against the Panthers. Justin Barron will make his NHL debut in place of MacDonald in Tuesday's game. None
Dec. 12, 2021 MacDonald (undisclosed) left Sunday's game against Florida and will not return, Peter Baugh of The Athletic reports. - MacDonald took a big hit from Ryan Lomberg and needed to be stretchered off the ice. A full update on his status likely won't be available until at least Monday and his status for Tuesday's tilt with the Rangers is in doubt. None
Dec. 10, 2021 The Avalanche recalled MacDonald from AHL Colorado on Friday. - This marks the defenseman's second promotion in a week and third overall this season. MacDonald has failed to record a point while averaging 08:58 of ice time in five games for the Avalanche in 2021. None
Dec. 9, 2021 MacDonald was reassigned to AHL Colorado on Thursday, Mike Chambers of The Denver Post reports. - MacDonald has been held without a point in five NHL appearances this season. The 28-year-old blueliner will likely continue shuffling between the AHL and NHL levels regularly. None
Dec. 3, 2021 MacDonald was recalled by the Avalanche on Friday, Adrian Dater of ColoradoHockeyNow.com reports. - With Bowen Byram still dealing with a head injury, MacDonald will presumably be on hand as an extra defender for Saturday's matchup with the Senators. MacDonald's gone scoreless through three NHL appearances this year. None
