With the Toronto Maple Leafs having such a frustrating 2025-26 season, it is very likely that they will be making several changes to their roster this offseason. One trade candidate who should be watched closely during the offseason is defenseman Simon Benoit. Due to this, let's take a look at three teams that could look to acquire Benoit during the summer now. San Jose Sharks The Sharks should be on the hunt for defensive help this offseason, as they have several pending UFA bluel...
Alexander Wennberg’s third-period equalizer felt like a turning point. After erasing a three-goal deficit, the San Jose Sharks had life, energy, and belief. But against a playoff-caliber Nashville Predators team, it slipped away just as quickly in a 6-3 loss Saturday night at SAP Center.
The San Jose Sharks fell to the Nashville predators 6-3 Saturday night at the SAP Center after a four game win streak. San Jose has yet to beat Nashville since 2019, and this game was another taste of wha...
In the grand scheme of games and the San Jose Sharks’ playoff hopes, this one is huge. The Sharks play host to the Nashville Predators tonight and this one has massive playoff implications. The Sharks and the Predators are tied with 79 points apiece and are fighting it out for the second wild card spot in the Western Conference. This is the second of three meetings between the two teams, which means there is plenty of opportunity for animosity to build up. The last time these two teams met, th...
The San Jose Sharks proved they can win without their star, defeating the Toronto Maple Leafs 4–1 behind a full-team effort, as contributions from every line showcased the depth fueling their late-season push. Facing one of the NHL’s top teams in the faceoff circle, San Jose flipped the script with a dominant performance at the dot and timely scoring throughout the lineup. It marked one of their most complete wins of the season, and a sign their supporting cast is ready for the playoff spotlig...
Former NHL defenseman Ty Wishart calls in from an Australian beach to talk about his globe-spanning playing career and his 21 games with the Islanders in the eventful 2010-11 season. Drafted 16th overall by the Sharks and traded to Tampa Bay in the deal for Dan Boyle, Ty Wishart got a quick education in the […]
New Jersey Devils defenseman Dougie Hamilton will undoubtedly be a trade candidate to watch this offseason. It is no secret that Hamilton wants a change of scenery, while the Devils have tried to move him. Because of this, let's look at three teams that could look to acquire Hamilton during the offseason. San Jose Sharks The Sharks tried to acquire Hamilton last offseason, but the right-shot defenseman blocked a trade to San Jose. However, with the Sharks taking such a notable step...
The two teams have the same number of points in the standings, but these two points mean a hell of a lot more to the Sharks in the West than they do to the Maple Leafs in the East (10:00 p.m. EST, TSN4). Game Day Quotes Jake McCabe on Macklin Celebrini’s dominance of late: I […]

The San Jose Sharks are looking to keep that winning streak going tonight, against the Toronto Maple Leafs. The Sharks have won three in a row, most recently beating out the Anaheim Ducks in exciting, come from behind fashion last night. But the players need to turn the page quickly and get ready to host the Maple Leafs, who are on the second part of the California road trip.

The San Jose Sharks are no longer just chasing a playoff spot. They are pushing for it.
With the regular season winding down and every game tightening the Western Conference race, San Jose delivered one of its most important wins of the season; a 4-3 comeback over the Anaheim Ducks at SAP Center. Against a division leader near the top of the conference, the Sharks showed they can compete with the NHL’s best when it matters most.
The Sharks entered the night sitting just behind the Lo...
The last late game of the year.
As has felt like the case all season long, no one seems to want to grab a hold of the playoffs and take control. As a result, the San Jose Sharks, unbelievably, are still a factor in the playoff race today, even as the team also vies for a potential lottery pick in the upcoming NHL Entry Draft. For Sharks fans, it’s the best of both worlds in some ways because you get the thrill of a playoff chase while still having the security of knowing that if your team falls just short, you have good odds...
Tonight’s battle against conference rivals, the Anaheim Ducks, is a test of growth, identity, and resilience for the San Jose Sharks.
The Ducks arrive with depth across their lines, elite scorers, and structured play. San Jose carries a brand of hockey that thrives in chaos, opportunistic, and unafraid to lean on its young stars when the game opens up.
But as the playoffs approach, the Sharks are still fighting for their chance at a wildcard spot.
“We need to be loose and enjoy ...
Coming off a long road losing streak, the San Jose Sharks emerged victorious in a back-and-forth home battle against the Saint Louis Blues at the SAP Center, winning 5-4. Macklin Celebrini, as he casually does, made National Hockey League and franchise history, scoring his hundredth point in one season. The win has more than just Celebrini credit, but Alex Wennberg provided two Sharks goals, and Adam Gaudette scored the riveting game-winner that now keeps the Sharks in the running for a wild c...
The San Jose Sharks are back home and crazily, still in the playoff race. As has been the case all season, no one seems to want to take a strangle hold on those wild card spots, so the Sharks are still well within striking distance, just four points back of the second spot with games in hand on every other team ahead of them. But just behind the Sharks are the St. Louis Blues, who pay a visit to the Shark Tank today.
The Blues have not been kind to the Sharks this season. St. Louis won th...
The San Jose Sharks wrap up the team’s three-game road trip today with a stop in Columbus to play the Blue Jackets. The last time these two teams played was on Jan. 6, when the Sharks won 5-2. But today is a different story. Now the teams are in much different position. San Jose is on a losing streak. Meantime, since Jan. 11, Columbus has gone 20-4-4 and jumped into a playoff spot. The Blue Jackets are third in the Metropolitan Division as of this morning, knocking the New York Islanders down ...
The San Jose Sharks pushed the St. Louis Blues to overtime, but could not manage to get the final goal to seal the win. With less than three seconds remaining on the clock, the Sharks hung Alex Nedeljkovic out to dry and allowed Dylan Holloway to retrieve a puck alone, drive the net and put one over Nedeljkovic’s shoulder for the game-winner. Nedeljkovic got as big as he could in the net and hugged the post as well as he could; it was just an excellent shot by Holloway.
HOLY MOLY DYLAN HO...
The San Jose Sharks are hoping to snap a five-game losing streak today with a visit to the St. Louis Blues. This is the second of three meetings between the two teams. The Sharks lost the last bout, a 3-2 loss in overtime on March 6 in San Jose. They’ll play once more in San Jose on March 30.
The Blues are seventh in the Central Division, but have been doing better over the last week and a half than the Sharks. The team is 3-1-1 in its last five games and just a point behind San Jose in t...
The San Jose Sharks are swimming in some uncharted waters. Not only is the team still a playoff contender, though its chances are dwindling dramatically, but the Sharks are also very much a lottery contender, putting the team in a very interesting position heading into the final few weeks of the season. As Sharks fans, that means there are two races to watch this time around. The race for the playoffs and the race to see who will have the best odds of picking first overall in the 2026 NHL Entr...
Pregame:
The Sharks started their 3-game road trip in Nashville tonight in front of a sold-out Nashville crowd. They needed to start this road trip with a win by playing urgently and confidently (spoiler alert: they did NOT). The Sharks went into tonight on a 4-game losing streak, while the Predators were on a 4-game winning streak. With the Sharks chasing the Preds for the second wild card spot in the West, it was imperative that they put their best food forward in what was the biggest g...
The San Jose Sharks are back on the road and hopefully able to get back in the win column today. San Jose pays a visit to the Nashville Predators this afternoon. It’s the key matchup on this three game road trip with the biggest playoff implications. A win today would be a four point swing in the playoff race, since Nashville has caught up to the Sharks and even jumped into the second wildcard spot. If San Jose wants to stick in this playoff race, a win today is essential.
The Sharks get ...
*Your Philadelphia Flyers took a road trip to California and absolutely killed it? Against all odds? They wrapped things up on Saturday by taking it to the San Jose Sharks for a full 60; RECAP !
*Particularly good game for Travis Konecny, as evidenced by the fact that Sharks players were whining about him after the game had ended. [ BSH ]
*Going back to that win in L.A. over the Kings, Matvei Michkov absolutely rocked in that game. You love to see it. [ BSH ]

New York Rangers defenseman Braden Schneider will be a trade candidate to watch during the offseason. With the Rangers retooling, Schneider stands out as a prime trade chip for them to dangle. Because of this, let's look at three teams that could look to acquire Schneider this offseason. San Jose Sharks The Sharks were heavily linked to Schneider leading up to the 2026 NHL trade deadline, and it is easy to understand why. At just 24 years old, Schneider would be a fantastic fit on ...
Welcome back to another edition of Ask Dubey! It’s been another eventful week for the Edmonton Oilers, beating the Nashville Predators and San Jose Sharks, and losing to the Florida Panthers and Tampa Bay Lightning. Mixed into it all, they lost Leon Draisaitl to injury, and Connor Ingram was given the keys to the crease….
Philadelphia Flyers winger Travis Konecny rubs a whole lot of people the wrong way, and now it has led to some name-calling by a San Jose Sharks defenseman.
During the 4-1 win in San Jose, Konecny was just playing his game. While being one of the more offensively charged forwards in the Flyers lineup, he was also jawing at opponents, getting involved in the post-whistle scrums, and just being a general nuisance. All 5-foot-10 of him was, and has always been, committed to creating a whole ...
The Flyers pulled out yet another gutsy effort. With eleven forwards, Philadelphia played a tight game before scoring two empty net goals to defeat San Jose 4-1 on Saturday afternoon. Matvei Michkov got his 100th career point, Travis Konecny got his 60th of the season, and the Flyers stayed in the hunt with a perfect West Coast road trip.
The basics
