In the San Jose Sharks’ dominant 2018-19 regular season performance, the team’s offense soared.

A large part of this success came from the
The Vegas Golden Knights have secured much needed experience to their blue line by re-signing former two-time Stanley Cup champion, Alec Martinez to a three-year contract valued at $15 million.

After a disappointing end to their season at the hands of the Tampa Bay Lightning, general manager Bill Zito goes into another offseason full of plans and options.
