San Jose Sharks

Last season Coyotes record against San Jose (2-1-1)

San Jose just did not show up for the start of the season. I don’t know if they forgot to set an alarm or if they just got lost in some other universe. After starting the season 0-4-0 San Jose signed Patrick Marleau to a 1-year contract and now all of a sudden they find themselves on a 3 game win streak.

Time will tell what type of team San Jose will be this year, are they the team that lost 4 straight games or the team that won 3?

All I do know is that San Jose took a big step back after the playoffs last season when they lost a lot of players due to the salary cap.
