It’s been a rough season for the San Jose Sharks. And the recent injury suffered by star defenseman Erik Karlsson has only served as the final straw in what has been a disastrous few months.
After falling just short of the Stanley Cup Finals last May, the Sharks hoped to reach the postseason for the 15th time in 16 seasons with another strong showing in the 2019-20 campaign.
Only that’s not what happened. Not at all.
The Sharks got off to an atrocious start and never really rebounded falling to the bottom of the Western Conference standings where they currently reside.
