San Jose Sharks’ 10 worst records by the halfway point
San Jose Sharks' record of 17-21-3 one of the top 10 worst in team history at midway point of NHL season
There’s no getting around it: the San Jose Sharks’ record of 17-21-3 is one of the top 10 worst in team history at the midway point of the season.
The 37 points the team has after 41 games, for a .451 points percentage, ranks fifth-worst in team history among all regular seasons with 82 games. For all 28 seasons, the record is the ninth-worst in terms of points percentage.
There have been times where the Sharks have made the NHL playoffs despite not having a winning record at the halfway point of the season. It’s going to take quite a second half run by this season’s Sharks team to do the same, though, as they entered Wednesday in 15th and last place in the Western Conference.
The Sharks lost to the Detroit Red Wings 2-0 on Tuesday, and play the second game of their five-game road trip Thursday against the Pittsburgh Penguins. The trip ends with games against Columbus on Saturday, Washington on Sunday and St. Louis on Tuesday.
