Locked On Sharks - Daily Podcast On The San Jose Sharks

Despite the San Jose Sharks 3-2 shootout loss to the Anaheim Ducks, Will Smith gets more comfortable adapting to playing in the NHL. Examine Smith's ups and downs tonight, including his off night shooting the puck and why that will improve, how his passing and vision are already on display, and the plan around faceoffs. Then, analyze Danil Gushchin's night and if he has locked up a roster spot. Next, discuss the game, how the Sharks were just off a touch all night on their zone exits, how the William Eklund line performed thanks to Alex Wennberg's good night, and other players who impressed. Finally, Vitek Vanecek has been excellent in his preseason performances. Has he locked up the starter's net for opening night?
