San Jose Sharks, who begin a five-game road trip Saturday in Nashville, are the NHL’s last remaining winless team
The Boston Bruins celebrate a goal by Boston Bruins’ Derek Forbort against San Jose Sharks goaltender Kaapo Kahkonen in the first period at the SAP Center in San Jose, Calif., on Thursday, Oct. 19, 2023. SAN JOSE – Four games into the season and almost all the major concerns regarding the San Jose Sharks are being borne out.
The combined record of the Sharks’ first four opponents, Vegas, Colorado, Carolina, and Boston, before Friday’s games, was a remarkable 15-2-0. Things let up a bit for San Jose on Saturday with the Predators and their 2-3-0 record, but the Sharks’ bigger issue of trying to figure out ways to win without two of their top three centermen in Couture and Granlund still looms.
While Couture is staying home for the Sharks’ five-game, nine-day trip that also has dates with Florida, Tampa Bay, Carolina, and Washington, Quinn said Granlund will travel, although it’s still unclear as to when the Finnish forward will play again. Of the 15 goals the Sharks have allowed in four games this season, five have come in the final two minutes of a period. One prevented the Sharks from beating the Avalanche at home last weekend, and on two other occasions, the Sharks allowed two goals just seconds apart shortly before intermission.
“It’s demoralizing when you get down 2-0, right? It’s the psyche part of it that we’ve got to be better at,” Quinn said. San Jose Sharks’ Anthony Duclair scores a goal against Boston Bruins’ Charlie McAvoy and Boston Bruins goaltender Linus Ullmark in the third period at the SAP Center in San Jose, Calif., on Thursday, Oct. 19, 2023.
