This week in Sharks talk

The talk around San Jose keeps coming back to Macklin Celebrini's historic scoring pace and his clutch performances, including an overtime winner in Montreal that's gotten national attention. The bigger concern is that the Sharks have won five games without a single regulation victory, and Yaroslav Askarov's goaltending has been a major problem holding the team back. There's also debate about the forward group, with some prospects like Michael Misa disappearing in games while the top line experimentation continues.
