NHL Power Rankings: Eastern Conference Taking Control
By Colin Likas

No. 13: San Jose Sharks
Previous: 10th
Season record: 10-8-1
The Sharks have played quite a bit on the road so far, posting a 5-6-1 record. We should expect some sort of bounceback as they got more time in the Shark Tank (though hopefully not Wednesday against the Blackhawks).
Joe Pavelski continues to roll along for San Jose with a team-best 17 points. Brent Burns (16), Joe Thornton (13) and Logan Couture (10) are also in double digits. The supporting cast just hasn’t done a whole lot yet in the offensive end, and Patrick Marleau has also struggled to just six points.
Martin Jones has been solid as well, proving last season was no fluke. His .915/2.17 slashline should be good enough on many nights. The Sharks just need more push from more guys.
