The road is often a good time for professional teams to come together, and the San Jose Sharks are hoping their six-game, 10-day trek throughout the Eastern Conference will help this team gel both on-and-off the ice. After beginning the season with four straight wins, San Jose has gone just 3-8-0 since that point, leaving them below the .500 mark (7-8-0, 14 points) for the first time all year.
The Sharks have been woefully inconsistent all season, failing to post consecutive victories since that opening 4-0 stretch. While San Jose hasn’t shown any indication that they’re going to break their recent form, this road trip will provide them with a chance to find out more about themselves as a unit.
