The Sharks are in a unique position.
Not just because they’re riding a six-game winning streak, having just swept their way through Western Canada, and are now sitting atop the Western Conference -- although those are all pretty unique statuses. San Jose’s position is interesting in that they aren’t being led by one skater or one line that’s on a hot streak; they’re getting contributions from all throughout their lineup, and their depth is on full display.
“Right now, we’re getting a lot of contributions,” captain Joe Pavelski told the media after San Jose’s 7-2 win over the Vancouver Canucks.
