Are The San Jose Sharks Worse Than Last Year?

Locked On Sharks - Daily Podcast On The San Jose Sharks

Are the San Jose Sharks worse this year than the 2023 season? Despite a winless start, the Sharks are showing promising signs of improvement in both offense and defense compared to last year. With key player Macklin Celebrini absent, the team has still managed to increase shot attempts and expected goals, indicating a more aggressive offensive strategy. Defensively, they've tightened up by allowing fewer shot attempts and high-danger chances, even though total goals allowed have increased. Special teams are also in the spotlight, with a significantly improved power play at 21.4%, though the penalty kill has seen a slight dip. As the Sharks continue their rebuilding process, patience is key, focusing on the gradual development of young talent.
