"The San Jose Sharks might have woken up Monday morning at the start of a new week, peeked at the NHL standings, and noticed something slightly different for this time of year. It's early November, and they're still within earshot of a playoff spot. The Sharks improved to 4-6-3 this season with a 3-2 shootout loss to the Detroit Red Wings on Sunday night and entered this week with 11 points,"
"Still, again, we can get better, Sharks coach Ryan Warsofsky said. We can get a lot better. I know we've got some results, but I think there's a team in there that can really be consistently very good night in and night out. We keep pushing and challenging to get to that standard. We've done some good things. We've gotten the results. But there's more. There's better hockey in us coming."
The San Jose Sharks entered early November competitive for a playoff position after improving to 4-6-3 and collecting 11 points following a 3-2 shootout loss to Detroit. The team sat three points behind the Seattle Kraken for the second wild-card slot and was tied for 13th in the Western Conference, a better standing than the previous two years. Confidence and belief have risen, while coach Ryan Warsofsky urged continued improvement and consistency. Rookie defenseman Sam Dickinson earned an extended stay and scored his first NHL goal, and defensive roster questions persist with eight defensemen carried and Nick Leddy nearing a possible return.
