With a shootout loss behind them, the Sharks prepare for their first of just two remaining four-game road trips as the 2016-17 season begins to wind down. The big, beautiful narrative of last season painted the Sharks as road warriors thanks to their franchise record 28 wins on the road while winning a mere 18 contests at SAP Center.
My how times have changed. The Sharks have already matched last season’s home win total with an 18-7-2 record just a few days into February and their 15-10-1 road mark is respectable but a far cry from what they accomplished last season.
