Western Conference Team Urged To Make Big Pitch For Hellebuyck

With all the talk about the Buffalo Sabres and the Carolina Hurricanes, there's a team out West that should think long and hard about swinging a deal for Connor Hellebuyck. That's the word from former NHL goalie and TSN hockey analyst Jamie McLennan. Speaking on the Donnie & Dhali Show, McLennan urged the San Jose Sharks to make a pitch to the Winnipeg Jets for the three-time Vezina Trophy winner.  "If I'm San Jose, I take a pretty good look at him.." @jamiemclennan29 on the best landing ...

No. 13 Eric Pohlkamp: One step closer to joining the Sharks

When Eric Pohlkamp was drafted 132nd overall in 2023, he was a surprise pick that no one was really sure about. But he worked hard and every season, he seemed to work his way up in the eyes of Sharks fans everywhere. This past season was perhaps his biggest jump in development yet. The defenseman scored 39 points (18 G, 21 A) in 43 games for the University of Denver and was undeniably the team’s number one defenseman. His18 goals were the most among all defensemen in the NCAA, but Pohlkam...

Sharks Are The Last Team In The NHL Without An Ad On Their Jersey

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...

Quick bites: Sennecke, Ducks top Sharks 6-2

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 ...

No. 14 Quentin Musty: Is his future in teal?

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. ...

Sharks at Ducks preseason game 1: Lines, game thread and how to watch

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...

Sharks’ Adam Gaudette Out With Upper-Body Injury

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...

No. 15 Filip Bystedt: Ready for that next step?

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...

More Good Players. Fewer Spots. A New Sharks Season

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...

2026-27 NHL team preview: San Jose Sharks

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 ...

From Germany to San Jose, Phillip Sinn Takes the Next Step

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...

No. 16 Zack Ostapchuk: Finding a place on the fourth line

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,...
