The San Jose Sharks’ second half is shaping up to be a good one. As has become habit for the team, the Sharks look like they’re once again posted to challenge in the Western Conference playoffs. Because the Western is so stacked this year, however, the Sharks will need to excel during the second half, especially at home.
Here are the Sharks’ top home games going forward. Overall, the average price for San Jose Sharks tickets is $118.
