Happy Sunday, San Jose Sharks fans.

We are now a week into the 2025-26 regular season and for the Sharks things have been interesting. They are 0-0-2 to the start the year, but have played well. Unfortunately, Sharks fans have yet to see Michael Misa but they did see Sam Dickinson in Saturday night's game.
