San Jose Sharks Will Need to “Protect the House” on the Road

After two lackluster performances to kick off the year against the Vegas Golden Knights. The San Jose Sharks look to regroup themselves prior to their first road trip of a very long season. But with two extremely messy hockey games to sort through where do they even begin?

Well they can start in their defensive zone specifically in front of their goalkeeper. “The house” in the world of hockey is roughly described as the area of ice directly in front of the netminder that extends out to encompass both points.

The Sharks have struggled mightily controlling this area of the ice in both zones, but most importantly on the defensive end.
