Where Has The San Jose Sharks Offense Gone?

The San Jose Sharks offense has gone cold in December. This was evident in the Sharks' 3-1 loss to the Calgary Flames, where they were held to a goal and only 22 shots on goal. Examine how some veteran players like Mikael Granlund and Alex Wennberg have seen their production drop. Some young players, like William Eklund and Will Smith, must be more consistent offensively. Then, examine the Sharks' 3-1 loss to the Flames and how the offense could not create sustained pressure outside of the Macklin Celebrini line, Yaroslav Askarov's superb performance, and Shakir Mukhamadullin stacking quality games. Finally, look at the tank standings, why it might be a three-team race for the number one pick in the draft, and how some of the top prospects are performing at the World Juniors tournament.
