The San Jose Sharks are back home tonight and looking for a bit of retribution after last week’s drubbing at the hands of the Buffalo Sabres. The Sharks were humbled in Buffalo on March 10 , losing to the Sabres 6-3 on a game that showed the Sharks have a lot to clean up in their game.
Luckily for the Sharks, the team has a chance to make up for that loss tonight. The team can start with stronger puck management, specifically making smarter decisions with the puck. In Buffalo, Edmonton an...

Edmonton Oilers’ superstar Leon Draisaitl will be out for the rest of the regular season with a lower body injury, and this was the Oilers first game without him. The San Jose Sharks scratched...

The San Jose Sharks wrap up the road trip in Edmonton tonight and if there’s one game on the trip that’s more important than the rest, it’s this one. The Sharks prepare to take on a Leon Draisaitl-less Oilers team that’s fighting for a spot in the playoffs as well. This is one of those four point swing games, which means a win tonight puts the Sharks in an even better position to stay not only in the wild card race, but also to potentially jump into the Pacific Division race.
This is the ...

The San Jose Sharks get ready for the second game of back-to-backs today. The good news for the Sharks is that the Ottawa Senators are also playing the second game of a back-to-back, albeit with a bit more rest. The Senators played yesterday afternoon against the Anaheim Ducks and were kind enough to do the Sharks a favor and beat the Ducks 2-0. Ullmark made 23 saves for the shutout.
For those of you playoff race watching, that loss allowed the Vegas Golden Knights (F*** Vegas) to leapfro...

With the surprising win on Saturday over the league leading Colorado Avalanche, the Winnipeg Jets have managed to pull within 6 points of the Western Conference’s final wildcard spot. That spot is currently being held by the San Jose Sharks, who have played 1 less game than the True Northers, and our club still needs to pass 4 other franchises in standings before they could grab that last post-season berth. So there is a lot of work to be done with only 17 more contests left in the regular sea...

The San Jose Sharks lost Igor Chernyshov to a frightening injury early in Saturday’s game against the Montreal Canadiens, but managed to collect themselves and come away with the 4-2 win on the road. The scary incident happened when Chernyshov, carrying the puck up the ice, collided with Mike Matheson.

I guess we’re cheering for the Toronto Maple Leafs to beat the Buffalo Sabres tonight. The gap could be two points to first place at the end of the night if that happens.
First period
Mike Matheson tries to start the game with a hit in the neutral zone, and it looked like he caught Igor Chernyshov in the face with his hands. I think Chernyshov was knocked out immediately, as he well to the ice without using his arms to brace himself. He hits his hard on the ice, and appears to ha...

The San Jose Sharks visit the Bell Centre today for the team’s one and only regular-season visit to Montreal. If this game is anything like the last time these two teams played, it’s sure to be a barn burner. When the Sharks and Canadiens met on March 3 at SAP Center, the teams combined to score 12 goals, including six in the third period. While the Sharks ultimately came out on top, you can be sure that today won’t be a cake walk. Montreal is 6-1-3 in its last ten games, and the one loss was ...

Ferraro has made it clear he wants to remain in San Jose, and there is still mutual interest in continuing the relationship, but the bigger issue is the term.
