The San Jose Sharks concluded another disappointing NHL season, finishing with a record of 20-50-12 and ending on an 11-game losing streak. Despite a marginal improvement in goals allowed compared to the previous year, they retained the league's worst goals against total (312). The team acknowledges the need for defensive improvement and hopes for internal growth from younger players, alongside strategic acquisitions from the front office. With changes expected in the lineup, the focus is on rebuilding for a more competitive future, as expressed by the coach and management.
If the Sharks hope to make strides next year and have this be the last season they have the best chance to win the NHL Draft Lottery, it'll start with how they defend.
No team in the top 16 in the NHL's overall standings has allowed more than 240 goals this season.
This was a team effort through and through. But, the hope amongst the Sharks is that the worst is behind them, and that the organization can start to build back up.
We're definitely on the right path. We are, Sharks coach Ryan Warsofsky said Wednesday morning. I know our win-loss record doesn't look like that, but we're working towards improvement.
