The San Jose Sharks lead the NHL with 29 close losses, including 15 one-goal and 14 two-goal defeats, indicating a struggle but also a sign of potential improvement. Last season, only 33% of their losses were categorized as close compared to 49% this year. Head coach Ryan Warsofsky notes that young players' development and experience will be crucial in turning these narrow defeats into victories, emphasizing the importance of consistency as the team continues to rebuild.
Macklin Celebrini, Will Smith, William Eklund and company being another year older will help. We have some guys in positions, some young players, especially, that are just growing and they're learning. To play in this league, you need to be consistent. The more you get experience doing it and being in these positions, the more and more comfortable you get, and that's how you grow. That's how we'll grow as a team.
