San Jose Sharks 2024-25 Stanley Cup Betting
Since making the Western Conference Final in 2019, the San Jose Sharks have not returned to the Stanley Cup Playoffs. San Jose showed minimal improvement, going from 47 to 52 points this year. But the Sharks are light years from where they can be taken seriously as a playoff contender. The Sharks were once a model franchise, making the playoffs in all but two seasons from 1998 through 2019. But they have fallen off the side of the hockey world and are showing no signs of recovery, at least for the immediate future.

San Jose Sharks Key Players
C Macklin Celebrini had 25 goals, 38 points, 63 points, and a -30. He was San Jose's top scorer. The Sharks selected him first overall in the 2024 NHL Draft, which looks like an astute move. LW William Eklund has 17 goals, 41 assists, 58 points, and a -6. Eklund was the 7th overall pick of the 2021 NHL Draft by the Sharks.
RW Tyler Toffoli has 30 goals, 24 assists, 54 points, and a -20. He is best known from his days with the Los Angeles Kings, where he played an integral role on their 2014 Stanley Cup championship team.
San Jose Sharks Goaltenders
Goaltender Alexandar Georgiev has a 3.95 goals against average and a save percentage of .873. His record is 7-18-4 with one shutout. Although undrafted, he has been in the NHL since 2017-18 with the New York Rangers. He was also the number one goalie with the Colorado Avalanche.
San Jose Sharks Head Coach
Former head coach David Quinn previously coached the New York Rangers during their rebuild. He was fired after a two-year record of 41-98. Quinn’s problem was that he did not have quality players, and that has not changed this season.
Ryan Warsofsky, 36, is San Jose's coach. Before his offseason promotion, Warsofsky was a Sharks assistant. He had previous head coaching experience in the AHL with Chicago.

San Jose Sharks History
Founded in 1991 as the first NHL expansion team since the 1979 NHL-WHA merger, the San Jose Sharks were the league’s second attempt at establishing a foothold in the San Francisco Bay area. From the start, the Sharks have been a success. The term “model franchise” is often used in describing the San Jose NHL entry.
Since 1998, the Sharks have missed the playoffs just four times. Their best run was in 2016 when they made it to the Stanley Cup Final after several teams with far better records failed to get there. Top players in Sharks history include Doug Wilson and Owen Nolan, Patrick Marleau, Joe Thornton, and Joe Pavelski.
The Sharks have had good fan support through the years but no margin for error. The San Jose market has endless entertainment options and limitless sports dates available on the calendar. Thus, the pressure is always on to win. Patches of empty seats have started to show at home games and serve as a warning of what will happen if San Jose doesn’t start winning again soon.
The Sharks have played at the SAP Center since 1993. Commonly referred to as “The Shark Tank,” the SAP Center boasts one of the loudest crowds in hockey. A continuing rebuild will test fan loyalty this year.
