One Sharks fan was caught bribing the referees during a goal review in San Jose's game against the Islanders on Saturday.

The San Jose Sharks are once again nowhere near the Stanley Cup Playoffs as they trudge through another extremely difficult season as part of their difficult rebuilding process. Even though they landed top overall pick Macklin Celebrini after winning the 2024 NHL Draft Lottery and added talent during the offseason,

The Sharks traded goalie Vitek Vanecek and center Nico Sturm to the Florida Panthers in separate deals on Wednesday and Thursday, respectively. In the Vanecek deal, the Sharks received AHL forward Patrick Giles. For Sturm, the Sharks got back a 2026 fourth-round pick while also sending a 2027 seventh-round selection to the Panthers.

San Jose Sharks rookie Will Smith has 17 points in his last 17 games. He scored for the third time in the last five games and is up to 32 points this season.

The Sharks traded for Walman back before the 2024 NHL Draft. San Jose acquired Walman from the Detroit Red Wings alongside a second-round pick. Going the other way was future considerations. Oftentimes, this is essentially nothing in the NHL.

SAN JOSE — The San Jose Sharks’ game against the Colorado Avalanche at Ball Arena in Denver on Thursday will be shown exclusively on ESPN instead of the team’s normal broadcast partner, NBC Sports California. The game, the last on the Sharks’ seven-game road trip, is also being streamed on ESPN+.

Luke Kunin, 27, is the second veteran depth forward the Blue Jackets have added in two days, after claiming Christian Fischer off waivers.
