Sharks top several ‘power rankings'

Share

The San Jose Sharks are starting to get noticed from coast to coast.

After completing a sweep of their weekend road trip with a pair of convincing 4-1 victories in Dallas and Colorado, the Sharks are near or at the top of several national websites' power rankings. San Jose has won three in a row, is 11-2-1 in its last 14, and owns the highest winning percentage in the NHL (.694).

In fact, after a quick scan, four of five major NHL media outlets that submit power rankings have them as the top team in the NHL. The only holdout is Canadas TSN, which has them at third behind Boston and Pittsburghtwo teams the Sharks defeated already this year.

Check out what theyre saying about the Sharks below.

Fox Sports (1)
The Sharks outscored Detroit, Dallas and Colorado 13-4 as part of a 3-0 week. This should be the time San Jose makes the leap in the Pacific and the West.

TSN (3)
11-2-1 in their last 14 games, the Sharks have been getting it done with minimal contributions from their big offseason additions, RW Martin Havlat and D Brent Burns, who have combined for two goals and six points in eight games in November.

The Hockey News (1)
This month, Sharks have beaten Pens, Kings, Wild and Wings, among others. In big games, they play big.
ESPN (1)
The Sharks have the highest percentage of points earned on the season -- 25 points in 19 games, .694 percentage -- as they have gone a sizzling 11-2-1 since opening the season 1-3-0.

CBS Sports (1)
The Sharks are only two points out of the top spot in the NHL and have done so playing just 18 games while the two teams ahead of them have played 20 and 21. Joe Pavelski might be one of the most underrated players in the NHL right now.
