After loss, San Jose Sharks will finish as NHL’s last place team
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: Talks Cease on Bringing Capitals and Wizards to Virginia
  • Negotiations to lure the NHL's Washington Capitals and the NBA's Washington Wizards to Northern Virginia have officially ended, as the proposal to create a development district with a new arena for the teams will not move forward, as announced by the city of Alexandria on Wednesday.

  • Virginia's House speaker also confirmed that Ted Leonsis, majority owner of the teams, is no longer considering relocating them from the District of Columbia.

  • The city expressed disappointment in the outcome, emphasizing that they negotiated a framework for this opportunity in good faith and participated in the process in Richmond to preserve their integrity.

  • Governor Youngkin and Leonsis announced in December at a public event that they had reached an understanding on the outlines of a plan calling for a new $2 billion development district with a new arena in Alexandria, just a few miles from where the teams currently play.

Quick Glance: Youngkin signs 2 gun control measures in Virginia
  • Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin vetoed an assault weapons ban passed by the state Legislature and instead signed two more limited gun regulations into law.

  • Youngkin signed laws banning gun trigger switches that can make firearms fire automatically and allowing criminal charges against parents who allow children access to weapons deemed threats.

  • While praised by gun control activists, they urge him to do more, emphasizing that the work does not stop here.

  • The signing of the two gun control bills by Youngkin is seen as a step in the right direction, showing that America's gun violence crisis does not have to be accepted as inevitable.

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.

  • The suit alleges that Sharks Sports & Entertainment LLC and its subsidiary Sharks Ice failed to adhere to USA Hockey rules requiring a 'second responsible adult' when coaches meet individually with players and prohibiting coaches from communicating with players electronically unsupervised.

  • The former coach, identified as Kevin Whitmer, allegedly began grooming the player in April 2021 when he was 12 years old. Whitmer reportedly took the player into a locker room at Sharks Ice, instructed him to sit on his lap, wrapped his hands around his waist, and massaged his chest and stomach.
