"The Sharks are back in action today, ready for that playoff push post-Olympic break. Pavol Regenda, Philipp Kurashev, Alex Wennberg and most especially, Macklin Celebrini, all raised their stock on the international stage. The Sharks, as a whole, have let the NHL know that this is a team that's ready to make a push for the playoffs."
"General Manager Mike Grier hasn't made the moves yet, but the rumors are flying that he's looking for a young defenseman who fits with the team now and in the future. That's been flowing through the rumor mill for several weeks now. With the trade deadline in less than 10 days, time is running out to make something happen."
"This is the fourth and final meeting between the Sharks and Flames this season. So far, the teams have held serve at home. Calgary won 2-0 at home on Nov. 13 and beat the Sharks 3-2 on Jan. 31 at the Saddledome. The Sharks won the teams' meeting in San Jose on Dec. 16 by a score of 6-3."
The San Jose Sharks resume play following the Olympic break with several players having elevated their performance on the international stage, including Macklin Celebrini, Pavol Regenda, Philipp Kurashev, and Alex Wennberg. The team signals playoff contention readiness to the NHL. General Manager Mike Grier continues exploring trade options for a young defenseman to strengthen the roster both immediately and long-term, with the trade deadline approaching in less than ten days. The Sharks face the Calgary Flames in their fourth and final seasonal matchup. The teams have split home games, with Calgary winning 2-0 and 3-2 at home, while San Jose won 6-3 in San Jose. The Flames operate without Jonathan Huberdeau due to injury, relying on Nazem Kadri's 39 points and goaltender Dustin Wolf's .896 save percentage. The Sharks' injured reserve has cleared, positioning the team healthier for the playoff push.
