In the 1994–95 San Jose Sharks season, the Sharks once again qualified for the playoffs and won their first-round series against the Calgary Flames before losing in the second round to the Detroit Red Wings.

Offseason

The Sharks chose Jeff Friesen with their first-round pick, eleventh over-all. Friesen would play for the Sharks for nearly seven seasons.

Regular season

The Sharks got off to a good start in the lockout-shortened season, winning 5 of their first 6 games. In their first win of the season on January 21, 1995, 18-year-old rookie Jeff Friesen scored his very first NHL goal, a shorthanded game-winner against the Toronto Maple Leafs as the Sharks won 3-2. Their streak soon came to an end, and the team lost 5 straight from February 18 to 26. Although he had 4 shutouts, goaltender Arturs Irbe struggled, going 14-19-3 with a GAA of 3.26 and a SV% of .895. Friesen went on to lead the Sharks in goals with 15. During the season, the team acquired forwards Craig Janney and Kevin Miller in a trade with the St. Louis Blues for forward Todd Elik and defenseman Jeff Norton. Captain Bob Errey is traded to the Detroit Red Wings, forward Jeff Odgers is named team captain.

The Sharks finished last in shots on goal (1,152) during the regular season.[1]
