The San Jose Sharks are back home tonight and looking for a bit of retribution after last week’s drubbing at the hands of the Buffalo Sabres. The Sharks were humbled in Buffalo on March 10 , losing to the Sabres 6-3 on a game that showed the Sharks have a lot to clean up in their game.
Luckily for the Sharks, the team has a chance to make up for that loss tonight. The team can start with stronger puck management, specifically making smarter decisions with the puck. In Buffalo, Edmonton an...

Every NHL game is important at this time of year, whether your team is in the playoff push or not so subtly tanking for the draft lottery, there is always something to cheer for. Some noteworthy lineup changes for this game injected some extra intrigue on top of the obvious Pacific Division playoff race. Edmonton Oilers’ superstar Leon Draisaitl will be out for the rest of the regular season with a lower body injury, and this was the Oilers first game without him. The San Jose Sharks scratched...

The San Jose Sharks wrap up the road trip in Edmonton tonight and if there’s one game on the trip that’s more important than the rest, it’s this one. The Sharks prepare to take on a Leon Draisaitl-less Oilers team that’s fighting for a spot in the playoffs as well. This is one of those four point swing games, which means a win tonight puts the Sharks in an even better position to stay not only in the wild card race, but also to potentially jump into the Pacific Division race.
This is the ...

The San Jose Sharks get ready for the second game of back-to-backs today. The good news for the Sharks is that the Ottawa Senators are also playing the second game of a back-to-back, albeit with a bit more rest. The Senators played yesterday afternoon against the Anaheim Ducks and were kind enough to do the Sharks a favor and beat the Ducks 2-0. Ullmark made 23 saves for the shutout.
For those of you playoff race watching, that loss allowed the Vegas Golden Knights (F*** Vegas) to leapfro...

The San Jose Sharks lost Igor Chernyshov to a frightening injury early in Saturday’s game against the Montreal Canadiens, but managed to collect themselves and come away with the 4-2 win on the road. The scary incident happened when Chernyshov, carrying the puck up the ice, collided with Mike Matheson.
A word of warning before you watch the video, it’s not easy to watch.

The San Jose Sharks visit the Bell Centre today for the team’s one and only regular-season visit to Montreal. If this game is anything like the last time these two teams played, it’s sure to be a barn burner. When the Sharks and Canadiens met on March 3 at SAP Center, the teams combined to score 12 goals, including six in the third period. While the Sharks ultimately came out on top, you can be sure that today won’t be a cake walk. Montreal is 6-1-3 in its last ten games, and the one loss was ...

The San Jose Sharks have locked up another piece of the rebuild era, perhaps sticking with a similar tactic to Team USA’s plans that helped the Americans win gold at the most recent Winter Olympics. That is, every player has a role. The Sharks announced today that 25-year-old center Ty Dellandrea signed a new, two-year deal worth $3.25 million ($1.625 annually).

Buffalo has not been a kind place to the San Jose Sharks, who historically have struggled in road games against the Sabres. With every point at stake in their playoff race as the regular season winds down, the Sharks needed to find a way to leave history in the past. It would not be. Unfortunately, their struggles in upstate New York continued into 2026, with a 6-3 loss to the Atlantic Division’s top team.
Although the Buffalo Sabres haven’t made the playoffs since 2011, the longest...

The San Jose Sharks will have to be ready for anything today as the team pays its one and only regular-season visit to Buffalo. The Sabres are still riding high after a knock-down, drag-out fight with the Tampa Bay Lightning, which boosted the team to the top of the Atlantic Division. The two teams accumulated 102 penalty minutes on Sunday night, but the Sabres got the better of it, scoring four power play goals and winning 8-7 in regulation.
Things are only going to get better for the Sa...

The San Jose Sharks had little to say after a 2-1 overtime loss to the New York Islanders. It was the team’s second overtime loss in as many days and it was clear that the is one stung a lot more than the 3-2 loss to St. Louis on Friday night.
For the first half of the game, the Sharks seemed to figure out how to hang with the Islanders, but as the game wore on, San Jose got its scoring chances, but could not maintain puck possession as well as the Islanders did. There were a lot of one-a...

The San Jose Sharks welcome Matthew Schaefer and the New York Islanders into SAP Center for the second night of back-to-back games tonight. This is going to be a tough go-around for the Sharks, as the Islanders had a chance to rest up for the game. New York was in San Jose, watching the Sharks play against the St. Louis Blues last night.
New York is doing well this season and is, surprisingly, in a playoff spot as of this evening. The Islanders sit in third in the Metropolitan Division, w...

In the closing stretch of the season, the margin for error can shrink quickly. On Friday night, the San Jose Sharks were reminded how costly those details can be.
Despite tying the game up twice and forcing overtime, the Sharks fell 3–2 to the St. Louis Blues at the SAP Center, looking for a single point in a game where execution proved itself decisive.
San Jose never led, but managed to answer both St. Louis goals before overtime. Still, puck management issues and defensive lapses c...

The trade deadline has come and gone, and both the St. Louis Blues and San Jose Sharks made some moves at the deadline. The Blues did more selling than the Sharks at the deadline. It makes sense, the Blues are well out of the playoffs and need to restock the cupboards for a retool at the very least.
Today, the Blues traded defenseman Justin Faulk to the Detroit Red Wings for Justin Holl and Dmitri Buchelnikov and a pair of picks. St. Louis also traded captain Brayden Schenn to the New Yor...

The San Jose Sharks have traded defenseman Timothy Liljegren to the Washington Capitals. As of this moment, we’re still waiting to see what the return is on this trade.
Update: The Sharks will receive Vegas’ 2026 fourth- round pick from Washington in exchange for Liljegren. Remember that San Jose gave up Matt Benning, a 2025 third-round pick and a 2026 sixth-round pick to the Toronto Maple Leafs to acquire Liljegren.
The 26-year-old Liljegren never seemed to find a place in the Shar...

Maybe the best news for Sharks fans so far at this trade deadline wasn’t a trade at all but the announcement of a contract extension. The San Jose Sharks announced on Friday that Alex Nedeljkovic signed a two-year contract extension with a $3 million per season AAV. The deal would, presumably, keep the netminder in teal for the next two seasons, giving Yaroslav Askarov a veteran backup while the younger goaltender finds his way in the NHL.

In a previous post, we looked at some logical choices the Sharks could have made to improve the defense without risking too much of the future.

The kids aren’t waiting their turn in San Jose.
With the postseason race tightening and pressure mounting, the Sharks’ young core is beginning to look less like a rebuild in progress and more like a foundation ready to compete now.

The San Jose Sharks put together a team effort to beat the Edmonton Oilers 5-4 today, and in doing so, the Sharks helped keep the team’s playoff hopes alive. While San Jose clearly has a lot of ground to make up after that five-game losing streak, the regulation win over a division rival and a team ahead of it in the standings certainly helps. Better yet for Sharks fans, the team achieved the win by committee, with five different players scoring goals and 12 different players registering point...

Hi Fear the Fin family and welcome back from the Olympic break!
