Fresh off a regulation win over the Edmonton Oilers , the San Jose Sharks are back on the ice and ready to welcome the Winnipeg Jets into town. The Jets are one of six teams that did not play yesterday and so the team is in town and well rested for today’s game. Winnipeg was in Anaheim on Friday and lost to the Ducks 5-4 in overtime. Connor Hellebuyck was in the net for the loss, his first game back since winning the gold medal for Team USA at the Olympics.
While not mathematically elimin...
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...
The San Jose Sharks have a tough task ahead, made even tougher by the fact that the team is struggling to find its way through one of the toughest parts of the season. While playoff-bound teams know what it means to ramp things up in preparation for the postseason, the Sharks are learning how to play these meaningful games as they go along. One of those tests will come today against the Edmonton Oilers.
The Oilers are finishing up a three-game roadtrip through California. Edmonton lost to...
Following the Olympic break, the San Jose Sharks lost 4–1 to the Calgary Flames, a divisional opponent currently behind them in the standings. In a tight race to playoffs, these are the types of games San Jose needs to win, especially in regulation and within the division.
The Sharks outshot Calgary 35–29 and got a second-period goal from Tyler Toffoli, but they were unable to hold the tie heading into the third. Calgary scored three times in the final period to secure the win.
With ...
Hi Fear the Fin family and welcome back from the Olympic break! If you’re like me and a bit disheartened by what you’ve seen on social media, nationally and around the league for the past few days AFTER the men’s hockey team won the gold medal, then take a minute to watch this interview with some of the gold medal winning women before all hell broke loose. It certainly made me fell better. If you’re not there for it, skip forward and we can talk Sharks hockey below.
The Sharks are ba...
Checking back in on Olympic hockey, where the U.S. women are in the midst of an epic run that can only be described as dominant. Through the entire Olympics, teams have collectively scored just one goal against the Americans. That’s right. One goal. That includes America’s closest rival on the ice, Canada. America beat Canada 5-0 in the round robin play, a game Canada certainly remembers and will be using as fuel on Thursday.
And that’s important to remember because the score from that ga...
The women’s tournament is already underway, and the buzz in the Olympic village is the norovirus that appears to be making its way through the teams. Finland had to postpone the start of its games, as several of its players went into isolation to start the tournament. The Finns opened the games against the U.S. women on Feb. 7 and promptly lost 5-0, potentially feeling some of the after effects of the illness.
Then there’s the Swiss, who also had several of its players placed in isolation...
The San Jose Sharks arrived in Denver for their final game before the Olympic break looking to set the recent past aside. After three losses in a row, each of which felt like a lost opportunity to keep pace in the playoff race, the team was in search of something positive to take into the pause. However, an always severe challenge against the league’s best, the Colorado Avalanche, stood in their way. The last time San Jose faced Colorado in Denver, the team had no answers in a 6-0 loss. This t...
The San Jose Sharks will play the last game before the Olympic break with the newest member of the team joining them on the ice. Kiefer Sherwood is healthy and ready to play. He’s expected to skate on the top line tonight with Macklin Celebrini and Will Smith. Sherwood has been practicing with the team on this road trip and has looked good, but the Sharks didn’t rush him back. Now, it looks like he’s ready to go.
The Sharks are hoping to close things out on a high note, but it will be a t...
The San Jose Sharks are looking for redemption tonight after putting up a subpar effort in Calgary just a few nights ago. The Sharks are in Chicago visiting the Blackhawks for stop number three on the road trip. It doesn’t get easier from here, so this really feels like a game that the Sharks need to win.
This is the first of three meetings between the Sharks and the Blackhawks.
The Blackhawks are probably out of the playoffs with a 21-25-9 record and just 51 points, the Blackhawks a...
With a chance at redemption after a blown 3-0 lead in neighboring Edmonton, the Sharks stumbled once again against the Calgary Flames. Two points lost to a Calgary team that’s struggled to win this season feel like a bit more than that, considering how tight the Western Conference playoff race has become, but the Sharks will have to move on and find a way to salvage more points out of this road trip.
Will Smith got the game going early for San Jose with a power play goal, his fourth in th...
So far, the San Jose Sharks’ road trip is going okay. The team would have liked to get that extra point in Central Alberta, but three out of four potential points is a good way to start things off. This afternoon, the Sharks have a chance to make some headway in the playoff race with a win over the Calgary Flames. While it’s a bit early to be standings watching, here’s where the Sharks stand as of this morning.
While San Jose is outside looking in, today is one of those games in hand...
The San Jose Sharks could not have asked for a better start in Edmonton. Less than two minutes into the game, the team jumped out to a two-goal lead against the Edmonton Oilers, with Collin Graf getting the first point on the board just 26 seconds into the game and Adam Gaudette adding a second one 1:11 later. A Michael Misa goal midway through the first period put the Sharks up 3-0 and with a comfortable lead, the team was in good shape.
Knowing its opponent, San Jose was not content to ...
The San Jose Sharks are in Alberta today for the first of two matchups against the Canadian teams there. The Sharks play the first of this season’s games against the Edmonton Oilers. The Oilers are 27-19-8 this season, but only 5-3-2 in the team’s last 10 games. Still, it’s good enough for second in the Pacific Division, just one point back from the Vegas Golden Knights, who sit in first. At the same time, the Sharks are five points back of the Oilers with three games in hand; a win tonight co...
In a season of disappointments for Vancouver Canucks fans, add last night’s game to the list. Things started out so promising, with the home team getting on the board 1:15 into the game. It looked like the team might give the home fans something to cheer about in a lost season. (Sorry Vancouver, Sharks fans can relate.) Instead, the San Jose Sharks, a few years ahead in the rebuild and fueled by those young draft picks acquired in said rebuild evened the score 36 seconds later. Macklin Celebri...
The San Jose Sharks take a trip to Canada today and the first stop on the team’s road trip before the Olympic break is Vancouver and a date with the Canucks.
One of the big stories out of Vancouver this morning is the news that goaltender Thatcher Demko will not return to play for the Canucks this season. Demko will have season-ending hip surgery . There’s no real reason to put it off, considering where Vancouver is in the standings. Securely notched at 32nd in the league, shelving a goal...
San Jose overcame an early deficit to defeat the Bakersfield Condors 5-3 on Saturday night at Tech CU Arena.
The Barracuda trailed for much of the first two periods but came alive in the third, scoring three unanswered goals to take the lead and secure the victory. The win was an important step in a tight division race and gave the team momentum as they head into a week of home games.
First Period
The game opened with an early score from the San Jose Barracuda. At 5:28, Oliver W...
The San Jose Sharks joined the Special Olympics Northern California field hockey athletes at the Santa Clara High School gymnasium Saturday afternoon for a riveting game. Organized by the Sharks Foundation, the game featured energy-filled highlights with Sharks Players (Mario Ferraro, Barclay Goodrow, Alexander Wennberg, William Eklund, Adam Gaudette, and Vincent Iorio) joining the field hockey athletes for an unforgettable afternoon.

The San Jose Sharks didn’t bring the team’s best game to this one, but the team did what it needed to do to win in the end. The Sharks beat the visiting New York Rangers by a final score of 3-1, to move into second place in the Western Conference wild card race.
These regulation wins are important, since all the teams in the wild card race are so closely bunched together. Regulation wins get a heavier weight than wins overall, which means every single regulation win the Sharks can ge...
The San Jose Sharks and the New York Rangers have been linked together a lot in headlines over the past few weeks, mostly when it comes to trade rumors. There are rumors that the Sharks could be secret suitors for Artemi Panarin, the 34-year-old winger who’s on an expiring contract. There are also rumors that the Sharks could be in the market for a young defenseman, perhaps Braden Schneider, a 24-year-old defenseman who already has 337 NHL games under his belt.
Of the two, Schneider is a ...
The San Jose Sharks need to get back to business today and not spend too much time thinking about everything that happened in Sunrise last night. The Sharks have a tough matchup this afternoon against the Tampa Bay Lightning, a team that has been tearing through the league as of late. The Lightning are 9-0-1 in the team’s last ten games and are sitting atop the Atlantic Division as of this afternoon. Tampa Bay is also the fourth-best team in the NHL, close behind the Minnesota Wild and the Car...
The San Jose Sharks have matched up exactly twice with the Florida Panthers this season and twice the team has skated away with wins. Tonight, the Sharks defeated the Panthers 4-1 in a penalty filled fest that included a combined for 38 penalty minutes, including the unicorn of them all, the rare goalie fight.
Things started out mundane enough, with some fairly good hockey back and forth, but when the Sharks took good control of the puck in the first period, the Panthers decided to up the...
San Jose Sharks fans are waiting to see what happens as General Manager Mike Grier makes moves from the front office. Earlier today, the team added Kiefer Sherwood in a trade with Vancouver, a move that will have a significant impact on the forward grouping, though we’re not sure how just yet. It’s just the latest move.
Yesterday, San Jose Hockey Now’s Sheng Peng was the first to report that defenseman Nick Leddy was placed on waivers.
Leddy is going on waivers — Sheng Peng (@S...
In a move many San Jose Sharks fans have been expecting for weeks now, General Manager Mike Grier has added Kiefer Sherwood to the team. This morning, Grier announced that he traded the team’s 2026 and 2027 second-round picks and defenseman Cole Clayton to the Vancouver Canucks for the 30-year-old forward.
Clayton is a 25-year-old defenseman who had five points in 33 games for the San Jose Barracuda this past season. He was signed during free agency last summer to a one-year deal and will...
