The San Jose Sharks started the 2015-16 season on a high note, recording victories in their first four games and only allowing their opposition to score two goals in the process. However, after experiencing a rash of injuries that took impacted the team’s depth, San Jose has dropped three of their last four games while giving up 16 goals in those games.
Beginning tonight against the Nashville Predators, the Sharks have an opportunity to reestablish the identity this team built over those first four games. San Jose is expected to have Joonas Donskoi and Ben Smith back in the lineup, after Paul Martin returned last time out against the Carolina Hurricanes.
