NHL: Top 5 most disappointing teams so far this season

3. San Jose Sharks

In recent times, the San Jose Sharks have been a dominating team. Making the playoffs almost every season and coming to the conference finals last year, it is hard to believe how atrocious their gameplay has been thus far. Currently sitting at seventh place in the Pacific Division, the Sharks are definitely not playing to their potential.

With forwards such as Evander Kane and Logan Couture, defensemen Brent Burns and Erik Karlsson, it would not seem like this team would be playing so badly. Although they have struggled in net with Aaron Dell and Martin Jones between the net, this powerhouse team last year is certainly a new team this year.

The Sharks are a team that has great potential but they are not living up to that potential at their current state. They have had some changes to the team last year with the acquiring of Erik Karlsson but this trade most definitely boosted their defensive performance and he is a great addition to the team.

There is still a lot of hockey left to be played this season. However, if the Sharks keep up this kind of performance, they will most likely not see a Stanley Cup playoff experience in their sights this season. Nevertheless, the Sharks will still be a fun team to watch and see how they will improve their performance.
