It’s not news that the Sharks are in the middle of their rebuild period and it shows in their record. However, the Sharks have had a better start to their season than they did in the previous year. Still not a successful record, but a slight improvement from last season. <\/span>There is still work that needs to be done and areas that need improvement just like any other young team. One thing they have been great at is remaining inconsistent to win. Whether it is the constant changing of line pairings, injuries or trades, the team has not been able to find a successful rhythm.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Time Changes Things in Win-Loss Record for San Jose Sharks<\/b><\/h2>\n

The Sharks are 11-17-5 this season, an impressive jump from where they were this time last year. This season they are not the last placed team in the Pacific Division, yet things tend to change fast in the league.\u00a0<\/span>Last year, the Sharks had a record of 9-19-3 in December with 31 games under their belt. They were sitting dead last in the division.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

They are slowly becoming a team that is learning what it takes to win. It does help that they have an impressive roster that holds great skill and talent. Once they can find their footing, the sky will be the limit for them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The ‘Lund’ Line Makes up top 3 Point Leaders on the Sharks Roster- yet their Performances are Lacking.<\/h3>\n

Mikael Granlund<\/a> and William Eklund<\/a>, and Fabian Zetterlund<\/a> have remained consistent in the terms of being the teams points leaders. <\/span>Granlund ended last season with 60 points, Eklund ended with 45 points and Zetterlund with 44. As of now, Granlund has 32 points, Eklund has 25 points, and Zetterlund is at 22. With nearly 60% of the season left, it will not be a shock if they bypass their previous years points.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
