In the past 11 games, the San Jose Sharks have a 5-6-0 record and have been stuck in a win-one, lose-one trend.<\/p>\n
Following a miraculous come-from-behind win over the Toronto Maple Leafs<\/a> on Thursday, the Sharks know they need to carry the momentum to their next game. The team traveled to Pittsburgh and will face the Pittsburgh Penguins for the second and final time this season on Saturday.<\/p>\n San Jose Sharks head coach Ryan Warsofsky had a clear message about what he expects from his team to buck the alternating trend.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019ll look at it. At 12:01, we\u2019ll turn the page and get ready for Pittsburgh. A good hockey team and try to end this road trip on a high note, and try to go over 500 on it,\u201d Warsofsky said. \u201cWe\u2019ll look at the video as coaches, and we\u2019ll make the corrections and keep working at it individually and collectively to get better.\u201d<\/p>\n Alexander Wennberg had three points, including the GWG in overtime on Thursday. The San Jose Sharks veteran has plenty of Stanley Cup Playoffs experience, and if the Sharks want to make it, their winning efforts need to become more consistent.<\/p>\n \u201cTo break out of that habit, this just comes down to the effort,\u201d Wennberg said. \u201cToday, I feel like it wasn\u2019t a 60-minute game that we were really proud of. But some good things, so there\u2019s another opportunity for us to finish this off. I feel like everyone is excited to have this last game against Pittsburgh, then head home. Put it all out there.\u201d<\/p>\n San Jose Sharks defenseman Sam Dickinson<\/a> kept his postgame message about what needs to happen short.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s just going to be game by game, rather than just doing it through one game. It\u2019s got to be multiple,\u201d Dickinson said.<\/p>\n After massive struggles early in the season, Sharks d-man John Klingberg has found his game. Everyone understands that Klingberg\u2019s game is built around his puck-moving ability. Now on a three-game point streak, Klingberg told reporters he\u2019s felt a shift long before the offensive production arrived.<\/p>\n \u201cI think it\u2019s been since my first scratch, honestly. Like, yeah, there\u2019s been some hiccups, for sure, but I think that was time for me to reflect, to go back and just look at my game and see what I can do better. I feel like I\u2019ve been building since that,\u201d Klingberg said.<\/p>\n \u201cBut obviously, for you guys and for everyone else, you see the production, and just because I had production the last three games, you guys think I\u2019m back, but that\u2019s not how it works. I think I\u2019ve been working hard the last few weeks here just to find my game. And right now you see some production.\u201d<\/p>\n Klingberg, on if his confidence flagged at all this season: “Sometimes, it takes a toll on you, for sure. But I think you got to realize, as you’re getting older, but also dealing with health issues, you’re not going to be the same player. I’m starting to understand more and more\u2026<\/p>\n \u2014 Sheng Peng (@Sheng_Peng) December 12, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n There was a lot of emotion let out by the Sharks team when they tied the game. Klingberg was the one who scored, but broadened his view to a team perspective. His goal was proof of the Sharks earning a bounce from their effort.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s obviously a great feeling to score when you pull the goalie. You leave it all out there offensively. If you\u2019ve been able to put one in the back of the net, that\u2019s huge for the team, and especially since we got a goal turned back for offside,\u201d Klingberg explained. \u201cThis team is resilient. I think we\u2019ll keep building every day to see where we can go.\u201d<\/p>\n The Sharks will want revenge for their early-season dud against the Penguins on home ice. On Oct. 18, the Sharks dropped their 5th straight loss<\/a> to start the season in a woeful 3-0 game.<\/p>\n Read more news and stories about the San Jose Sharks on\u00a0Sharks Hockey Digest<\/a>!
