The San Jose Sharks face significant challenges this summer after suffering a heavy loss to the Los Angeles Kings. Key areas for improvement include tightening their defense, enhancing scorers, and improving goaltending, especially evident from their recent lopsided defeat. The team has traded several leading players, resulting in one of the youngest rosters in the NHL, which amplifies the need for better performance. Frequent penalties also contributed to their struggle, allowing the Kings to capitalize during the game and leading to a disappointing March record of 5-8-0 for the Sharks.
The Sharks do not have much margin for error right now, and when they make as many mistakes as they did Sunday, they do not give themselves much of a chance.
Another issue is the penalties. The Sharks took five minors in the first two periods Sunday night and allowed power-play goals to Adrian Kempe and Warren Foegele.
