The San Jose Sharks are looking to rebound after a dismal last season, finishing with a record of 19-54-9 and missing the playoffs. With new head coach Ryan Warsofsky at the helm, the team has made significant changes, including drafting top prospect Macklin Celebrini and adding several veterans.

Despite the influx of talent, the Sharks still face challenges, particularly on defense, where they struggled last season. The health of captain Logan Couture is a major concern as the team aims to improve and eventually return to playoff contention.
