Quick bites: New opponent, same story

Once again, the San Jose Sharks took a lead into the third period and once again, the team lost. San Jose went from being up 2-1 over the Ottawa Senators when the puck dropped at the start of the third to down 3-2 with 17 minutes left to play. It was a less than ideal situation that this team has seen far too often this season. We won’t cannibalize his work, but as San Jose Hockey Now’s Sheng Peng…

Quick bites: Sharks finally get a W

The San Jose Sharks had been circling around a win for a few games now. The Sharks almost beat the Montreal Canadiens last Thursday. The team came close to beating the Winnipeg Jets on Feb. 24. Both games were lost in overtime. But somehow, the Sharks couldn’t find that extra little help the team needed to win. Last night, the players did, roaring back from a 2-0 deficit to beat the Toronto Maple…

Sharks add defenseman Vincent Desharnais

The San Jose Sharks have made another trade as the trade deadline approaches, this time bringing in a player instead of sending one out. The Sharks have acquired 28-year-old defenseman Vincent Desharnais from the Pittsburgh Penguins in exchange for a 2028 fifth-round pick. Desharnais is in the first year of a two-year deal that pays him $2 million per season, according to Puckpedia.

Igor Chernyshov is everything we could have hoped for postdraft

It doesn’t take a genius to see that San Jose left the first night of the 2024 draft with the best haul the team could have imagined, with a potential top-pairing defenseman in Sam Dickinson and a generational forward in Macklin Celebrini. But in snapping up the talented Russian forward Igor Chernyshov with the first pick of the second round, the Sharks may have added another potential star.

Sharks trade Walman to Oilers

The San Jose Sharks continued the fire sale on Thursday night/Friday morning, selling off a player with term. The Sharks sent defenseman Jake Walman to the Edmonton Oilers because the return was simply too good to resist. The Sharks received a conditional 2026 first-round pick and forward Carl Berglund for Walman. Walman played 50 games for the Sharks this season, registering 32 points (6 G…

Quick bites: Trade clouds hang over Sharks

The San Jose Sharks did its best to shine through the trade clouds looming over the worst team in the NHL, but it’s hard when rumors affect who is in the locker room next to you. While San Jose’s players worked hard in last night’s game against the Colorado Avalanche, the loss of Nico Sturm earlier in the day and the removal of Jake Walman and Luke Kunin from the lineup because of potential trades…

Looking closer at the Fabian Zetterlund trade

Heading into the second half of the season, it was clear that the Sharks were a shopping mall, and barring a few untouchables, virtually everyone was on sale for the right price. Most fans expected leaders like Mikael Granlund and Luke Kunin to get traded, and even the Jake Walman deal was met with acceptance. But Fabian Zetterlund’s trade to Ottawa sparked bewilderment. Zetterlund simply isn’…

How can Dustin Wolf beat Macklin Celebrini in the Calder race?
