In Episode 222 of The Fin Factor, we break down the Sharks’ recent games against the Anaheim Ducks, LA Kings, and Vegas Golden Knights. We discuss Noah Claxton and Kellen Foster’s performances, Thrun dropping the mitts early, and the Ducks’ bold jersey change. The Kings brought back Gretzky-era jerseys and dominated early, but the Sharks showed intense second-period pressure, led by Granlund’s power-play snipe and Eklund’s unmatched work ethic. However, the Sharks set an unfortunate NHL record with their 9th straight loss to start the season, highlighted by a risky play from Vanecek. We also cover Celebrini’s progress and preview upcoming games against Montreal, LA, Chicago, and Vancouver. Tune in for the latest Sharks news, analysis, and fan Q&A!
