Locked On Podcast Network — Fri, 21 Aug 2026 04:00:00 GMT

San Jose Sharks’ special teams could make or break their playoff hopes—will new talent push them into the postseason? JD Young spotlights the urgent need for power play efficiency, calling out Macklin Celebrini, Will Smith, and the potential impact of Luca Cagnoni as power play quarterback. Analysis digs into the Sharks’ jump to a 21.3% power play rate, why a top-10 finish is within reach, and how additions like Michael Misa and Ivar Stenberg could transform the unit’s creativity.

On the penalty kill, JD Young questions the reliance on bottom-six forwards and exposes how powerhouse teams like the Lightning and Avalanche lean on trusted middle-six players. With the Sharks ranking just 26th on the PK, the episode breaks down the necessity for better personnel choices, defensive depth, and improved goaltending from Askarov and Nedeljkovic. Is San Jose ready to win those crucial margin battles and secure their playoff spot?

SPARK: San Jose Sharks’ Kiefer Sherwood IMPACTS Playoff Race—Can He Deliver More Next Season?

Locked On Podcast Network — Thu, 20 Aug 2026 04:00:00 GMT

San Jose Sharks bet big on Kiefer Sherwood—can he ignite the offense in a new role? After arriving from the Vancouver Canucks and landing a 5-year, $28.75 million contract, Sherwood brought grit, scoring touch, and much-needed swagger during the playoff race. But with offseason additions like Mason Marchment, Ivar Stenberg, and Igor Chernyshov, is Sherwood headed for a shift down the lineup, and will his finishing ability remain a difference-maker?

JD Young breaks down Sherwood's advanced stats—highlighting his shot-driving prowess, efficient penalty killing, and chemistry with Alex Wennberg and William Eklund—and questions whether the Sharks can get even more out of Sherwood in a middle-six role. Key topics include Sherwood's contract value, projected ice time with San Jose's deeper forward group, and his special-teams impact. Will Sherwood’s versatility keep him vital to the Sharks’ playoff ambitions?

San Jose Sharks’ playoff hopes hinge on the growth of their second-year standouts. Can Yaroslav Askarov’s consistency in goal transform the Sharks into a true postseason threat?
