The San Jose Sharks’ home opener is a few days away, which means it’s the perfect time to preview their defense for this upcoming season.
Once the opening night roster was dropped, we had a pretty good idea of the direction the Sharks are going in with their defense for their 2021-22 season. The mood; stalwart (and highly-paid) veterans, paired with some young talent.
The opening night roster lists Brent Burns, Mario Ferraro, Santeri Hatakka, Erik Karlsson, Jake Middleton, Radim Simek and Marc-Edouard Vlasic on the blue line.
I really like what I’ve been seeing with the Sharks’ defense throughout training camp and the preseason.
