The San Jose Sharks were one of six Western Conference teams competing in the first-ever Vegas Rookie Faceoff at City National Arena. Alongside the Arizona Coyotes, Los Angeles Kings, Anaheim Ducks, Colorado Avalanche, and the Vegas Golden Knights.
The Sharks swam down to the Entertainment Capital of the World to grab a piece of the action in the inaugural event. The Vegas Rookie Faceoff was quite the showcase on display as several first-round draft picks and high-end prospects collided over the four-day stretch.
San Jose finished second in the tournament with a 2-1 record. The Sharks opened with a 4-0 shutout against the Coyotes.
