It’s been a rough go of things for the San Jose Sharks of late, as they find themselves sitting in fifth place within the Pacific Division following a dreadful December performance. The Sharks won only four of their 13 contests during the final month of 2015 and got off to a rough start in 2016, laying an egg against the Winnipeg Jets last week.
San Jose has enjoyed an extended period of time off, but it has allowed other teams in the division to pass them by. The Sharks have played the fewest games, 37, in the Pacific but San Jose hasn’t shown the ability to string together a series of wins in quite some time.
