San Jose Sharks Could Struggle With New Overtime Format
The NHL will be experiencing a change in their overtime format for the upcoming 2015-16 season in hopes of ending more games before the shootout. Instead of going to a four-on-four overtime session as in previous seasons, teams will now skate three-on-three.
The San Jose Sharks have some offensive firepower, but how well does that translate when compared to the rest of the league? Well, Ben Arledge of ESPN thinks the Sharks could struggle with the amount of open ice the new format will create.
According to Arledge, San Jose ranks 18th out of the 30 teams with regards to their potential three-on-three lineups that they could throw out during overtime.
