Dickinson, who was taken 11th overall by the Sharks in the 2024 NHL Draft, has played in 27 of San Jose's 36 games so far this season. He has a goal and two assists and is averaging close to 15 minutes of ice time per game, including 17:33 in the Sharks' 4-2 loss to the Seattle Kraken on Saturday at SAP Center. After the game, Sharks coach Ryan Warsofsky said he thought Dickinson's legs were going tonight.

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.

"I think there were some situations that could have been dealt with differently," Reaves told Bay Area News Group last week. "Put it that way."

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?
