Welcome to Fear the Fin’s weekly player power rankings. We pick the top five performances of the week, using tiebreakers like full season performance, particularly memorable plays, powerful mustache play, very good post-game quotes and interactions with the permanent No. 1 Shark, Finn the dog. Feel welcome to use these rankings to argue with friends and enemies, form opinions about sports, politics, and birds, or count up to numbers including (but not limited to) five.
With their over time win over the basement bound Los Angeles Kings last night, the San Jose Sharks have all but erased their brutal start to the season and find themselves sitting in the Western Conference’s second wild card spot.
