Quick Glance: San Jose Sharks Fire David Quinn After Two-Season Tenure as Head Coach
- San Jose - Feeling that his team needed a new voice as it transitions into another phase of its rebuild, San Jose Sharks general manager Mike Grier fired his friend, David Quinn, as head coach on Wednesday after just his second season.
- An emotional Grier stated that he finalized his decision to dismiss Quinn late Tuesday night. Recently, Grier met with players and others in the organization to discuss the Sharks' future needs following their NHL-worst record this season.
- Grier also revealed that assistant coaches Scott Gordon, Brian Wiseman, Ryan Warsofsky, and goaltending coach Thomas Speer are still part of the organization but are free to explore other opportunities. The incoming replacement for Quinn will have the authority to decide whether to retain these coaches.
- At present, Grier indicated that no other significant organizational changes are under consideration, stating that 'there's probably some other things that need to be reviewed. But that’s what we had to take care of right now.'

Quick Glance: Sharks considering coaching change after disappointing season
- After a disappointing season with less than 20 wins and finishing last in the NHL standings, General Manager Mike Grier is not ruling out potential changes for the San Jose Sharks.
- Despite trading high-profile players like Timo Meier and Erik Karlsson, dealing with injuries to key players, and poor performance throughout the season, Grier does not completely dismiss speculations about a coaching change.
- Coach David Quinn, holding a weak record of 41-98-25, highlighted the challenges of the season and praised the team's morale strength in light of the circumstances.
- With significant cap space for the next season, Grier plans to acquire faster and more aggressive players to enhance the team's performance and prevent a repeat of the disappointing season.

Quick Glance: San Jose Sharks Positioned Last in NHL at Season End
- The San Jose Sharks completed their final home game of the season on Saturday, resulting as expected based on the past two seasons.
- Two goals by Kirill Kaprizov in just 47 seconds late in the second period transformed a tight game into another home defeat. The Minnesota Wild triumphed 6-2 before a full crowd of 17,435 on Fan Appreciation Night at SAP Center.
- A silver lining is that the Sharks are now confirmed in 32nd and final place in the NHL standings, holding a 25.5% chance of winning the NHL draft lottery next month.
- Goalie Mackenzie Blackwood made 32 saves and faced minimal support from the skaters in front. With 212 goals conceded during 5-on-5 play, the Sharks currently rank at the bottom of the NHL.

Quick Glance: Former San Jose Jr. Sharks Coach Sued for Sexual Abuse Allegations
- A former San Jose Jr. Sharks coach is being sued over allegations of sexually abusing a player. The lawsuit claims the youth hockey program's operator is at fault for not enforcing rules to protect participants.
