Brad Staubitz provides some things the San Jose Sharks have lacked in years past: Energy, physicality, intensity,A and occasional scoring from the fourth line.

A lot of NHL coaches prefer not to talk about the opposition, or pay a quick compliment and let it go at that.

The San Jose Sharks are back on the road after a brief two-game homestand. Not that it mattersa 'they just keep winning.

San Jose has had little trouble racking up wins so far this season, though it's only in the last week or so the Sharks feel they've actually started playing well.

When Ryane Clowe gave the San Jose Sharks a 1-0 lead with six seconds remaining in the second period on Friday, it was only fitting that he scored on his back-hand, on a rebound and from right beside the net.

Head to head: The Sharks finished 38 points ahead of the Coyotes in the Pacific Division last season, but the teams split their series 3-3. Coyotes update: Major legal and business issues still surround the franchise, but once the season started, it became a pretty good hockey story, too.

Dany Heatley scored the tiebreaking goal on a power play late in the second period and the San Jose Sharks overcame a two-goal deficit to beat the Minnesota Wild 4-2 on Saturday night.

A fighter in hockey is like a first girlfriend: Even when they're gone, you always remember them.

Teddy Purcell scored the tiebreaking goal from behind San Jose's goal line with 5:10 to play, and the Los Angeles Kings blew a four-goal lead before holding off the Sharks 6-4 Tuesday night.

It did not take long for several new additions to make an impact in the San Jose Sharks 4-1 win over the Ducks Saturday night at the Honda Center in Anaheim.

Ceremonies such as the one honoring retired Avalanche captain Joe Sakic on Thursday night no longer mean players have to sacrifice their pregame routine.
