All signs are pointing towards a new head coach for the San Jose Sharks in 2020-21 as Peter Boughner is not getting the expected results. Progress of improvement by the Sharks is fruitless despite the past few games of better even-strength play and defense.
Instead, the Sharks are choosing to find ways to lose games after dominating performances. The game against Washington best exemplifies San Jose’s season in a nutshell.
After Logan Couture’s empty-net goal gave the Sharks a 4-2 lead with a minute left in regulation, the struggles of this team are only fitting on being on the wrong side of history.
