The San Jose Sharks were a perennial Stanley Cup contender for over a decade, advancing to the Stanley Cup Final in 2016 and knocking on the door of Western Conference supremacy various other times in the 2010s. But after being one of the top teams in the NHL for so long, it only made sense […]

San Jose Sharks forward Logan Couture is currently week to week with a lower-body injury. As a result, he will miss the beginning of training camp.

The San Jose Sharks traded their most valuable asset this offseason in Erik Karlsson. Karlsson went to the Pittsburgh Penguins in a three-team trade with the Montreal Canadiens.

Filip Zadina joined the San Jose Sharks as an unrestricted free agent this summer. He received a fresh start after five injury-riddled seasons with the Detroit Red Wings.

Mike Hoffman was a San Jose Shark for less than a day in 2018, and the 33-year-old is hoping that his second stint in the Bay Area will be much more fruitful than the first time around. Hoffman was traded from the Senators to the Sharks in June of 2018, and flipped to the Panthers […]

Since the end of last season, one of the biggest NHL questions of the offseason centered on high-scoring defenseman Erik Karlsson.

As the NHL offseason rolls on, the Carolina Hurricanes still have a few questions to answer. The biggest internal question regards a couple of their defenseman.

The Pittsburgh Penguins had a bitterly disappointing 2022-23 NHL season, as they saw their 16-year playoff streak, the longest in North American sports, come to an abrupt end.
