nhl.com

The San Jose Sharks have missed the Stanley Cup Playoffs for the sixth consecutive season, officially eliminated after the St. Louis Blues' recent victory. The Sharks last made the playoffs in 2019, reaching the Western Conference Final. This season, the Sharks struggled with scoring, averaging only 2.6 goals per game. Rookie Macklin Celebrini led the team with 50 points but missed significant time due to injury. The team also faced challenges in goaltending, using five different goalies. Despite these setbacks, there are reasons for optimism. Celebrini, along with young players like Will Smith and William Eklund, shows potential for future success. The Sharks have also accumulated valuable draft picks, which could help them rebuild their roster.
