San Jose Sharks open 2026 season with new additions and high expectations<\/p>\n

\"Jake<\/a>SAN JOSE, Calif. \u2014<\/p>\n

The San Jose Sharks are eager to begin their 2026 season after a long offseason, with new additions to the team and high expectations as they prepare to face the Florida Panthers in their opener. <\/p>\n

“It’s been a long, we all got here early, so it’s been a long, just skates and, pre camp. So I think we’re all ready to, to actually play games,” Sharks captain Macklin Celebrini said. <\/p>\n

The Sharks are ready to play hockey, and fans are more than ready to watch their team in action again. <\/p>\n

San Jose won’t be sneaking up on teams like they did last season, transitioning from being the hunters to the hunted. Newly acquired veteran Darnell Nurse emphasized the importance of focusing on what the team can control. <\/p>\n

“We have an amazing group, we’re capable of a lot and it’s just about us coming out and playing and not worrying about anything else,” Nurse said. <\/p>\n

Coach Ryan Warsofsky highlighted the importance of sticking to the team’s identity and setting the tone for the season. <\/p>\n

“Cut fast, with instincts, with getting into people, the way we’re going to defend it’s going to be critical going forward,” Warsofsky said. “I’d say more than anything it’s the identity and the process how we get there.” <\/p>\n

The atmosphere surrounding the Sharks feels like the golden days of the team. <\/p>\n

The Sharks are ready to hit the ice, and fans are excited to see how the team will perform this season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"San Jose Sharks open 2026 season with new additions and high expectations SAN JOSE, Calif. \u2014 The San…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":483036,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[6650,11154,189235,189237,21079,5179,855,109747,88,90,89,98,278,2193,189238,427,130364,189236],"class_list":["post-483035","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-jose","tag-action","tag-fan","tag-high-expectation","tag-hunted","tag-identity","tag-importance","tag-ksbw","tag-new-addition","tag-san-jose","tag-san-jose-headlines","tag-san-jose-news","tag-san-jose-sharks","tag-season","tag-sharks","tag-sharks-captain-macklin-celebrini","tag-team","tag-tone","tag-veteran-darnell-nurse"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/483035","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=483035"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/483035\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/483036"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=483035"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=483035"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=483035"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
