San Jose Sharks forward Will Smith continues to rehab from his injury, but it remains unclear when he'll be able to rejoin one of the team's practices. Sharks coach Ryan Warsofsky said Friday that Smith has been attending meetings and working out at the team's practice facility in recent days but held off on giving any specific timeline for the 20-year-old's return.
A handful of 49ers players, including Kittle, quarterback Brock Purdy and fullback Kyle Juszczyk, made their presence felt Tuesday night as the Sharks hosted the Calgary Flames. Kittle and his teammates were in the Sharks' dressing room before the game to read the starting lineup. Then, just like a few 49ers players did during the 2019 playoffs, they opened the door to the team's locker room right before the start of the game, as the Sharks skated onto the ice to Metallica's Seek and Destroy.
The San Jose Sharks rallied for an improbable win Saturday, scoring four times in the third period before defenseman John Klingberg scored at the 2:57 mark of overtime in a 6-5 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins at PPG Paints Arena. With the Sharks trailing 5-1, John Klingberg and William Eklund scored just under seven minutes apart before Macklin Celebrini and Tyler Toffoli both added goals in the final three minutes of the third period with the extra attacker to tie the game 5-5.
The San Jose Sharks allowed two goals in the second period, including a backbreaker with just 12 seconds left before intermission, in a sluggish 4-1 loss to the Philadelphia Flyers on Tuesday at Xfinity Mobile Arena. The Sharks allowed even-strength goals in the second period to forwards Carl Grundstrom and Noah Cates, with Cates' goal right before intermission giving the Flyers a 3-1 lead.
Signed to a bridge deal on July 1st, Eklund's contract was at first criticized for not being long enough and for the Sharks refusing to take the gamble on Eklund's potential. But what if that was the correct move? What if that's the proper way to do reconnaissance and one's due diligence before making a long-term investment into a future cornerstone?
SAN JOSE - The Sharks were their own worst enemy at times during their game against the Ottawa Senators on Saturday. Questionable Sharks line changes led to both the game-tying and go-ahead goals by the Senators, who earned a come-from-behind 3-2 win before a sellout crowd of 17,435 at SAP Center. Both Klingberg and Barclay Goodrow scored for the Sharks, and goalie Alex Nedeljkovic finished with 24 saves.
The Ottawa Senators make the team's one and only visit to SAP Center this season, and it marks Fabian Zetterlund's first game back in San Jose since he was traded on March 7, 2025. Zetterlund spoke to the media on Friday about what he missed the most about San Jose, and his answer, as posted by San Jose Hockey Digest's Max Miller, is heartbreaking.
SAN JOSE Forward Philipp Kurashev scored on his shootout attempt, and goalie Yaroslav Askarov didn't allow a goal at the other end as the Sharks earned a raucous 4-3 win over the Los Angeles Kings on Thursday at SAP Center. The Sharks are now 10-4-1 since Oct. 23. With the Sharks leading and scrambling late in regulation time, Adrian Kempe picked up a rebound in front of the San Jose net after a Kevin Fiala shot on goal
