In other San Jose Sharks news…

Four members of a Muslim family in London, Ontario — Syed Afzaal, 46, his wife, Madiha Salman, 44, their 15-year-old daughter, Yumnah Afzaal, and Syed Afzaal’s 74-year-old mother — were killed in a hate crime. Their 9-year-old son, Faez Afzaal, survived.

Kurtis Gabriel is back in London:

I am in straight shock. Complete and utter shock. I live in here. I was in that part of town this morning. I didn’t even know this happened, & then I get a message that the Police Chief just announced it was a TARGETED HATE CRIME! I feel sick.. thinking of the boy that survived https://t.co/9Ghl4Je8nA

I touched on a variety of fantasy San Jose Sharks topics here: What to expect from Erik Karlsson and Brent Burns next year, what’s plaguing the Sharks power play, and Timo Meier’s issues.

In the first installment of our 32 Beats series we talked to @sjhockeynow's @Sheng_Peng to recap the #SJSharks season and project what we can expect from EK65 and co. in 2021/22.https://t.co/mLKRuUtfWQ

The San Jose Sharks will become the first NHL team to accept cryptocurrency payments:

Initially we'll accept cryptocurrency for season tickets, suite leases, and partnerships. Other use cases – including single-game tickets, F&B, and merch – will be evaluated over time #SJsharks https://t.co/EobIiv3buo

The San Jose Barracuda will play 72 regular season games, instead of their current 68, starting in the 2022-23 season.

All 32 teams will go to 72 games in 2022-23, the #SJBarracuda's first in their new building. https://t.co/tjJshwWW85

Around the NHL…

The NHL has nominated Renee Hess (founder of the Black Girl Hockey Club), Kevin Hodgson (executive director of HEROS), and Howard Smith (co-founder of Pittsburgh I.C.E.) as the three finalists for the 2020-21 Willie O’Ree Community Hero Award, given to an individual who – through the sport of hockey – has positively impacted his or her community, culture or society.
