The San Jose Sharks ' future is bright, as they've accumulated talent across their lineup and recently signed first-round pick Ivar Stenberg. General manager Mike Grier has set up the team for success as an eventual contender in the NHL, if Macklin Celebrini can be the one to help lead them into April and beyond once he matures as a leader. While they've been categorized as bottom dwellers and one of the worst teams while still building chemistry between their players, they've done...
The San Jose Sharks opened their preseason schedule with a 6-2 loss to the Ducks in Anaheim. The Ducks opted to start their stars at home. Leo Carlsson, Cutter Gauthier,…
The San Jose Sharks didn’t send much of a regular-season lineup down to Southern California for the team’s first preseason game of the 2026-27 season. Looking at the rosters leading into the game, it looked like all the makings of a potential mess, with the Anaheim Ducks icing top players like Jackson LaCombe and Stian Solberg on the backend and Leo Carlsson, Beckette Sennecke, Cutter Gauthier and Roger McQueen up front. Meanwhile, the salary of the entire Sharks’ roster in SoCal barely added ...
San Jose Sharks’ prospect Quentin Musty is falling down our prospect pool boards. He was 5th overall in 2024. He was 9th overall in 2025. And this season, he’s 14th overall. But don’t let that fool you. His ranking this season has a lot more to do with San Jose’s draft luck and less to do with the player himself. Remember, Musty was drafted late in the first round of 2023. Since then, San Jose has had four top-ten draft picks and one just outside of the top ten, Sam Dickinson at 11th overall. ...
Eric Pohlkamp speaks the the media after the Sharks 6-2 preseason loss to the Anaheim Ducks on September 20, 2026.
Nolan Allan speaks the the media after the Sharks 6-2 preseason loss to the Anaheim Ducks on September 20, 2026.
Holy cow everyone, we’re back! Game one of the preseason is here and if it feels like it’s early, that’s because it is. This is a condensed preseason because then 84-game, that’s right, I said 84-game season, is starting in just a few weeks.
The Sharks have four preseason games to start things off and given that this is an away game, we won’t see many of the top liners headed down to Southern California to face the Anaheim Ducks. While a team has to play a certain number of veterans in ea...
Longtime NHL enforcer Ryan Reaves has hung up the skates after 16 seasons. His last season was spent in San Jose, and even though he only played 50 games over…
By Brennan McClain | at September 19, 2026 7:08 pm According to Max Miller of Sharks Hockey Digest, San Jose Sharks forward Adam Gaudette will miss the next few days with an upper-body injury. Gaudette is unlikely to play in the Sharks’ first preseason contest against the Anaheim Ducks tomorrow afternoon. While missing a few days due to injury is usually unimportant for Gaudette, this preseason carries larger implications. San Jose has several younger forwards aiming to secure spots on the ope...
It feels like we’ve been talking about San Jose Sharks prospect Filip Bystedt forever as a potential center to break through on the Sharks roster. So it’s hard to believe that the kid is just 22 years old, and he was only drafted four years ago by the Sharks. Bystedt was the first-ever pick by then-new General Manager Mike Grier. And while the young Swedish center hasn’t played in the NHL yet, the way that other first-round draft picks on Grier’s resume have, that could change soon.
Posit...
NHL veteran Alexander Wennberg looked around the Sharks’ locker room and saw a problem he didn’t mind having.
“There’s so many good players. There’s just a few spots,” Wennberg said.
For a team still finding its way, that wasn’t always the case. Now, with more veterans around a young core and competition throughout the lineup, the Sharks have something they haven’t had in years, players waiting for their chance.
With injuries already testing the group before the season begins, t...
LAST SEASON The Sharks haven’t made the playoffs since 2019, and nobody expected anything different last season. But after years of high picks – namely Macklin Celebrini, Will Smith and Michael Misa – most expected at least a solid leap forward. The season started horribly, with the club sitting 31st at the end of October with a 3-6-2 record. But by the Olympic break, the Sharks were just five points out – Celebrini’s MVP-caliber season had given the club some new life. That put the Sharks in ...
After big improvements last season, are the playoffs in the conversation this time around?
The San Jose Sharks have made a habit of turning premium draft picks into franchise pillars. Macklin Celebrini arrived first overall in 2024 and became a superstar. Michael Misa followed…
Erik Karlsson is perpetually unbothered, so it should come as no surprise that when he talked about entering the final year of his contract that he basically is fine with staying in the present and isn’t worried about what comes next. Karlsson said yesterday that he hasn’t thought about his future. When asked if he […]
Phillip Sinn left Germany with a new team waiting for him in San Jose.
He left behind his family, friends and a hockey environment he had known his entire life. In their place was another chance to grow. For Sinn, the move was more about what he could learn next.
But the decision to come to San Jose was a no-brainer for him.
“Obviously the young core and the team they want to build … the coaching staff, like all those guys that played on the Sharks a couple years ago, lege...
Warsofsky has been instrumental in guiding the Sharks out of their rebuild and into playoff contention.
Last year, when we checked in with Zack Ostapchuk, the kid had some potential, but it was hard to say what he was going to bring to the San Jose Sharks. There was size and grit, but not a whole lot going on in terms of ability to drive play or contribute to an impactful, checking fourth line. He was still young and finding his place in the NHL.
Fast forward to this past season, when Ostapchuk found a way to earn his place in the Sharks lineup. Through a bit of luck and a lot of hard work,...
The San Jose Sharks are going to be one of the better teams in the National Hockey League sooner rather than later. After years of contention from the early noughties until the late 2010s, the Sharks bottomed out and were one of the worst teams in the league. Well, that was until last season. After…
One of hockey’s legendary tough guys has officially dropped the gloves for the last time. On Wednesday, longtime forward Ryan Reaves announced via social media that he is retiring from the NHL after a 16-year career. Reaves, 39, played 50 games last season for the San Jose Sharks, scoring three goals and no assists while earning five fighting majors. The Winnipeg native was initially selected out of the Western Hockey League’s Brandon Wheat Kings in the fifth round of the 2005 NHL Entry Draft ...
Brodie Brazil talks with Sharks President Jonathan Becher, about the state of the Sharks, what we’re doing to Turn It All Teal, and more.
Ryan Reaves is a loud and brash personality in the NHL. After serving in the NHL as an enforcer for the last sixteen seasons, he's decided to retire. He spent the 2025-26 season playing as a San Jose Shark , with 50 games played, scoring three points. "You can rest easy knowing the corners are a little safer today. Mic drop, gloves drop. Reavo out." "Reavo" has retired from the league, one of the last heavyweights left. Reaves was mixing it up with players like Matt Rempe and Nic D...
John Gibson is a pending free agent, and the Sharks, Sabres and Hurricanes all need goaltending help. #RedWings
By Brennan McClain | at September 15, 2026 3:30 pm The AHL’s Rochester Americans, the Buffalo Sabres’ top affiliate, have added a pair of talents for the 2026-27 campaign. According to a team announcement, the Americans signed forward Thomas Bordeleau and netminder Talyn Boyko to one-year AHL deals. Bordeleau, 24, is a former second-round pick of the San Jose Sharks. Before playing for the Sharks organization, Bordeleau spent two years with the University of Michigan Wolverines, scoring 20 goa...
The San Jose Sharks have been applauded this summer for the strength of their young prospects. One of those prospects put together a fabulous performance at the Rookie Faceoff. That is winger Ivar Stenberg, who posted two goals in just 25 seconds for the Sharks in a win over the Los Angeles Kings. “It was […]
