The San Jose Sharks kick off their 2026-27 season with a home opener against the Florida Panthers, then face off against top 2026 draft picks in Toronto. Halloween brings a fiery reunion with former Shark William Eklund in Ottawa, while Sidney Crosby headlines a Pittsburgh visit in November. Emotional matchups include Mario Ferraro’s debut as an opponent in December and a potential Alex Ovechkin farewell in January. The season starts tough with eight of first 12 games on the road, but a January-February homestand offers hope. A crucial March road trip and a showdown with the Carolina Hurricanes at home could decide playoff fate, culminating in a high-stakes April finale against Anaheim.
