Edgier Sharks lineup beats Ducks 3-1
SAP CENTER — It started just a little over two minutes into the opening frame of Saturday night’s game, when Anaheim Ducks winger Chris Wagner shoved Andrew Desjardins into the boards behind the opposing net, which resulted in full-blown scuffle up against the glass.

Sharks “captain-less” camp is a positive step
Up until this week, it looked like the San Jose Sharks weren’t going to do much in the way of rebuilding, as the higher-ups claimed would be the case this offseason. Then on Wednesday, Team Teal announced its most rebuild-y move since their season ended in April. Head coach Todd McLellan told members of the […]

Sharks now on the verge of an epic collapse
It doesn’t get any uglier than this. The Sharks had three chances to dispatch the Los Angeles Kings after convincingly going up 3-0 to open the series, and they couldn’t have botched it much worse than they have. Now they’ll return to what is certain to be a tight SAP Center on Wednesday to try […]

Sharks’ depth, McLellan’s wizardry too much for Kings in Game 2
So that thing in the headline about “wizardry” might be overselling it a little bit, but you have to give credit where it’s due: Todd McLellan had four lines worth of real scoring ability waiting in the wings, and it took a 2-0 Kings lead to unleash it. You can’t blame him for going with […]

Sharks fend off Kings’ comeback in wild series opener
Buckle up, Sharks fans — this series is going to be one for the ages. For the first 40 minutes of this game, the Sharks looked like a team capable of finally winning the Stanley Cup Final.

3.9K4GIFs and notes from Pavelski’s hattrick and the Sharks’ power play explosion
With two power play lines that look like the top half of an Olympic hockey team, the San Jose Sharks should have a better power play percentage than 15.8. It’s a fact that drives fans crazy: Team Teal earns a ton of man advantage opportunities and capitalizes on very few of them. That wasn’t the […]

Where the Sharks stand as they clinch their 10th-straight playoff appearance
All the Sharks needed was one point to clinch their 10th-straight playoff appearance, and they did that by taking Monday night’s matchup with the Calgary Flames to overtime before eventually losing 2-1 in the shootout. The game itself wasn’t anything pretty, and while the result was suitable for clinching, they’ll need to do better to […]

Alex Stalock helped the Sharks get back on the horse following an embarrassing sweep-clinching loss to the Buffalo Sabres by handling the Devils in New Jersey 4-2 Sunday afternoon. Now they’re facing some tough decisions in net. Nevermind the god-given scratches of Adam Burish and Mike Brown (we’ll get to those shortly) — Todd McLellan […]
