Following the Olympic break, the San Jose Sharks lost 4–1 to the Calgary Flames, a divisional opponent currently behind them in the standings. In a tight race to playoffs, these are the types of games San Jose needs to win, especially in regulation and within the division.
The Sharks outshot Calgary 35–29 and got a second-period goal from Tyler Toffoli, but they were unable to hold the tie heading into the third. Calgary scored three times in the final period to secure the win.

The San Jose Sharks beat a large number of interested teams to the punch in securing a trade for Kiefer Sherwood from the Vancouver Canucks back in January. But is Sherwood's stay in San Jose going to come to a close after just a handful of games? The bruising forward is a pending unrestricted free agent, and is looking for a huge raise. There's been talk about an ask in the neighborhood of a $5 million AAV for the NHL's single-season Hits record-holder. The Sharks certainly knew w...

The Flyers ended last season with an .879 team save percentage. This was nearly 10 points below the San Jose Sharks — a team who was openly tanking — for the worst team save percentage in the NHL. It’s comfortably the worst mark since the turn of the century, though this year’s Ottawa Senators (.873) are giving it a real run. The front office then came to the logical conclusion that the roster simply can’t be evaluated correctly if they’re spending their time fishing the puck out of their own ...

The San Jose Sharks have been poking around the New York Rangers as the March 6 trade deadline nears, and it sounds like their shopping list includes Braden Schneider. David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period has connected San Jose to Schneider, which fits a Sharks team trying to build forward without waiting years to fix its blue line, which is definitely their weakest spot.

It was clearly time for Jeff Skinner to find a new home. Watching from the press box for three weeks leading up to the break as a healthy scratch, the veteran forward mutually agreed with t he San Jose Sharks on a contract termination about a week ago. The 33-year-old was having a dreadful season, with just six goals and 13 points in 32 games played. But this is a guy with ten 20-goal seasons on his resume, and six 30-goal campaigns. There's some obvious potential upside, at a low ...

Macklin Celebrini's superstar performance at the just-concluded Olympic Games has brought a little more attention to t he San Jose Sharks. And while they have Celebrini, Will Smith, and others to get excited about up front, their blueline, overall, is nothing to write home about. In fact, as a group, they're ranked near the bottom of the league. They're 30th in the NHL in goals against per game. But at just five points out of a playoff spot, the Sharks should be looking to beef up their ...

On Monday, despite a lull in the National Hockey League, the San Jose Sharks announced they’re parting company with veteran winger Jeff Skinner. The team put him on unconditional waivers in order to terminate the contract he has with the club. If he clears waivers on Tuesday, then he becomes an unrestricted free agent and is eligible to sign with whoever he pleases. The question then would be if Skinner would be a fit for the Flyers down the stretch.

However, an always severe challenge against the league’s best, the Colorado Avalanche, stood in their way. The last time San Jose faced Colorado in Denver, the team had no answers in a 6-0 loss.

The Blackhawks struck first on the power play seven minutes into the opening period. From the slot, Teuvo Teravainen found Connor Bedard, who ripped a sharp-angle one-timer from the bottom of the left faceoff circle to put the Blackhawks up 1-0.
