Who are these guys? Unlikely sources help with San Jose Sharks’ offensive outburst

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:31:01 GMT

SAN JOSE – The San Jose Sharks have played with too much trepidation in recent games, understandable since their margin for victory has been so small that even minor mistakes can have disastrous consequences.Thursday was a different story, at least in the eyes of Sharks coach David Quinn.“I think we’ve been pretty passive lately, and I think that can happen when you’ve been losing the way we have,” Quinn said. “I think you play with a little bit of fear, and I thought we played fearless tonight. When you do that, good things happen.”The Sharks released five weeks’ worth of offensive frustration in one evening at SAP Center, scoring four second-period goals to earn a 5-1 win over the St. Louis Blues, improving to 3-3-0 in the last 10 days since starting the year 0-10-1.Leading by a goal after the first period, the Sharks (3-13-1) scored three times in the first 3:25 of the second, blowing it open to enjoy a rare laugher in a season filled with adversity.San Jose Sharks goaltend...

But I thought we just didn’t move the puck the way we wanted to.”Fiala, whose offensive production has been offset by his inconsistent puck-handling and mis...
