After a day off, the Tampa Bay Lightning wrap up their California road trip with a matinee effort against the San Jose Sharks. Over the last few seasons, this would be a penciled in win for the top team...
On December 28th in 2011, San Jose Sharks captain Joe Thornton thrice planted his finger firmly into the face of Vancouver Canucks forward Henrik Sedin whilst pleading his club's case before referee Gord Dwyer.
Thornton's taunts, reminiscent of the Burrows/Bergeron Stanley Cup Final finger biting episode and aftermath, were neither penalized nor effective as the Canucks Western Conference Final
The Columbus Blue Jackets took a bit of time to trade Yegor Chinakhov to find the right trade, but there was more interest from teams than just the Pittsburgh Penguins who ended up landing the former first-round pick. Chris Johnston reported, "There were teams around it. Going way back earlier in the season, the Leafs were one of them. I don't know that they were there later on here. San Jose I think had some interest. Winnipeg. A lot of teams were curious." Chinakhov is a 24-year-old drafted ...
The greatness that is Connor McDavid continues. On Thursday, the NHL released its Three Stars for the Month of December. Along with excellent performances from Colorado Avalanche star Nathan MacKinnon and San Jose Sharks forward Macklin Celebrini, the man who stood above the rest was Edmonton Oilers captain Connor McDavid, who was named the First…
San Jose Sharks fans have been pleasantly surprised by the arrival of Igor Chernyshov, who has not looked out of place in his seven games with the NHL squad so far. Head Coach Ryan Warsofsky was blunt when asked if the 20-year-old belonged in the NHL recently, answering with a simple “Yes.” But whether he sticks around after everyone gets healthy is another question. Sharks fans may need to be prepared for some frustration: this Sharks roster is built for the Future is Teal mantra, not the fut...
The San Jose Sharks aren’t the best team in the league, but somehow, some way, the Sharks have the Minnesota Wild’s number. It took extra time once again, but the Sharks swept the season series with the Wild today, with a 4-3 shootout win. The win claimed the Sharks’ 20th win of the season, equaling San Jose’s total wins in all of the 2024-25 season. The last time the Sharks had 20 or more wins before the turn of the calendar was in 2018-19, when the team had 46 wins and made the playoffs. Whi...
The San Jose Sharks welcome the Minnesota Wild to the Shark Tank today, hoping to sweep the season series. It’s a much different Wild team than the Sharks have played in the past two outings. The Sharks won the previous two meetings, though both of those happened before the Quinn Hughes trade. San Jose won 6-5 in overtime on Oct. 26 and 2-1 in overtime on Nov. 11.
But now, the Wild have one of the best defensemen in the world in Hughes. Since acquiring Hughes on Dec. 12, the Wild have gon...
After months and months of speculation, only made stronger by exceptional play by the 19-year-old, Team Canada’s brain trust made it official this morning by naming young Sharks’ center Macklin Celebrini to the Olympic roster. Celebrini will join the best of the best on the world stage in Milan in February, and he could very well play a top-six role for Team Canada; he’s had that good a season with the Sharks. For Team Canada General Manager Doug Armstrong, picking Celebrini was a process that...
At the end of the season, they don’t ask how; they ask how many, and in the world of Sharks stats, last night was a regulation win over a division rival, even if it was incredibly ugly. The San Jose Sharks were outshot and out-possessed in a 5-4 victory over the Anaheim Ducks.
Natural Stat Trick’s Corsi Differential in all situations shows just how lopsided the puck possession was between the Sharks and the Ducks.
The shot differential reflected the difference. The Sharks were o...
The San Jose Sharks finish up the short two/three game road trip (three if you count that it straddled the Christmas break) with a visit to the Anaheim Ducks. The Sharks are coming off a 6-3 win over the Vancouver Canucks, while the Ducks are coming off a 6-1 loss to the Los Angeles Kings on Saturday. Both teams are in a playoff spot as of this morning. The Ducks are second in the Pacific Division with a 21-15-2 record, while the Sharks are 18-17-3 and hold the second wild card spot.

Unlike the last few games, the Sharks were ready to go from the drop of the puck and then didn’t let up no matter what twists and turns the game took.

Progress in the National Hockey League doesn’t always show up right away. Sometimes it’s not about wins or losses. It’s about how you respond when games start to slip.
For the San Jose Sharks, that response has started to change. Timothy Liljegren has seen it firsthand.
“You can kind of notice that we don’t give up in games,” Liljegren said. Even when things don’t start their way, the fight stays. He pointed to comebacks and efforts as proof that this group isn’t checking out when th...
As a San Jose Sharks fan, if you were already having a bad day – maybe you forgot your dose of SSRIs, were anxious about the upcoming holidays, or maybe you simply felt woozy about this game – it’s likely that the first period at T-Mobile Arena only exacerbated your symptoms. Each team rode a two-game losing streak heading into the game, with this being the final night for both before the NHL’s three-day break, came in today with plenty of reason for motivation. San Jose completely fell flat, ...
The San Jose Sharks take a brief trip to Vegas before they go their separate ways for the holiday break. San Jose has lost two games in a row and is desperate to avoid a third. So far, the team has been pretty good about keeping the losing streaks short, but this might be the toughest test yet, going against the Vegas Golden Knights, which is ranked second in the Pacific Division as of this morning.
The Sharks should have an extra incentive not to let Vegas win tonight. Carter Hart is exp...

Look, being a player in the National Hockey League is hard, and not just the physical aspect. For young stars Collin Graf, Zack Ostapchuck and Yaroslav Askarov, it’s being away from home, especially during the holidays. One moment you are playing in your hometown, and the next you are thousands of miles away for long stretches in a new place they now call home.
So, how are some of the young San Jose Sharks spending Christmas?
Askarov will be taking the calm approach.
