San Jose Sharks podcast Lincoln Juarez:

#1 Can San Jose Sharks (5-6-3) rookie centre Macklin Celebrini continue his hot streak and drive San Jose’s offence against the Winnipeg Jets (9-4-0) structured defence?

#2 How will the Sharks handle the crease battle between Yaroslav Askarov (San Jose) and Connor Hellebuyck (Winnipeg), given San Jose’s defensive vulnerabilities?

#3 With Winnipeg boasting a top four penalty-kill rate and San Jose’s penalty kill struggling, can the Jets exploit the Sharks’ special-teams weakness?

#4 On home ice, the Sharks have shown flashes with the 6-1 win over Seattle, but can they maintain defensive consistency when facing Winnipeg’s potent attack led by Mark Scheifele?

#5 Will San Jose’s young forward group—including Will Smith—step up sufficiently to offset Winnipeg’s road-trip momentum and prevent another sweep by Winnipeg?
