NHL Power Rankings: Chicago Blackhawks Matching Expectations

11. San Jose Sharks
Previous: No. 20
Expectation bar: Above
If the Sharks can keep pulling off their success on the road, they have a solid shot to win the Pacific. They’ve gone 6-2-1 away from the Shark Tank. I think everyone was expecting some regression minus Patrick Marleau and with the overpriced re-signing of Joe Thornton. That hasn’t happened so far.
