The Leafs may look like a lost cause on most nights, but at least they’re getting vintage Oliver Ekman-Larsson. He’s up to 21 minutes a night while scoring 17 points in 23 games. For a team that’s desperate for offense from the blue line, Ekman-Larsson has been a bright spot.
26. San Jose Sharks, 11-10-3

Yes, they’ve got some young guys of note in the mix, but Alex Wennberg has played his part in making the Sharks a relevant team — not just a fun one. If they fall out of the wild-card mix, you can bet on someone else gladly adding him and his solid defensive chops to their bottom six. He’s on Chris Johnston’s big board for a reason.
