SAN JOSE -– One of the major flaws of last season’s Sharks team was a remarkable lack of depth.
No depth at forward, no depth on defense, and no depth in goal.
Enter forward Joel Ward, defenseman Paul Martin and goalie Martin Jones, all of whom were on the ice with their new Sharks teammates for the first time in an official practice setting on Friday. All will have to play a major role if San Jose is to make it back to the postseason.
Ward, a right wing, is lined up with center Logan Couture and left wing Patrick Marleau for now.
