The Mar. 15 match-up versus the Panthers will mark the return of Joe Thornton to SAP Center. This will be Jumbo’s first time back at SAP Center after playing for the Sharks for 15 seasons, from 2005 to 2020. San Jose will be in Florida on Jan. 29.

The San Jose Sharks will also appear exclusively on ESPN once:

Apr. 21 at 7:30 PM PT vs. the St. Louis Blues

The Sharks won’t be making any appearances on ABC or TNT during the regular season. In contrast, both the Pittsburgh Penguins, New York Rangers, and Chicago Blackhawks will appear on ABC three times. Meanwhile, representing the Pacific Division, the Vegas Golden Knights will get one ABC appearance.

All other San Jose Sharks games should appear on NBC Sports Bay Area and ESPN+.
