Joel Quenneville in Anaheim, Scott Arniel in Winnipeg, Rick Bowness in Columbus, and Andrew Brunet...

Quick bites: Sharks win, but Warsofsky wants more

The San Jose Sharks’ overtime win over the Los Angeles Kings highlighted both the team’s offensive firepower and the defensive issues it still needs to address.

Starting the season with a 2-0 record, the Sharks have proven resilient, securing a 5-4 win over the Los Angeles Kings. However, fine-tuning the team’s defense will be key to becoming more consis...

The San Jose Sharks showed off a new identity on Thursday night, going toe to toe with one of the nastier teams in the league and matching them jab for jab.

It paid off with a 4-3 overtime win...

Panthers' Barkov leaves game with lower-body injury

The Florida Panthers are holding their collective breath, as captain Aleksander Barkov left Thursday's game vs. the San Jose Sharks with an apparent leg injury. This is not what the Panthers wanted to be dealing with just a week into their season. The injury occurred during a Panthers man advantage midway through the second frame, and it was what looked like a very normal battle of the puck in the corner. Next thing you know, Barkov is down, and visibly frustrated, and walked himself to the dr...
