SAN JOSE – Just four months ago in training camp, Sharks brass boasted that the club was much deeper at forward than last season, when there was enough dead weight on the roster to sink the Lusitania.
Nearing the halfway point of the 2015-16 regular season, it’s not looking a whole lot better. It’s probably the biggest reason the Sharks are 18-18-2, in sixth place in the Pacific Division and 27th in the 30-team NHL.
To wit:
Joel Ward has one goal in his last 10 games. Tomas Hertl has two goals in his last 34 games.
