Former San Jose Sharks player John Scott appeared to reveal that Joe Pavelski’s jersey would be retired by the team this upcoming season.

Scott mentioned it to William Eklund during an interview on his Dropping The Gloves Podcast.

“I think Pavs is getting his jersey retired,” Scott said around the 29-minute mark.

But contrary to Scott’s claim, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now confirmed Pavelski’s No. 8 will not be joining Joe Thornton and Patrick Marleau’s numbers up in the rafters during the 2025-26 season.

Checked around, can say with 100 percent certainty that the Sharks AREN’T retiring Joe Pavelski’s jersey next season
