The 2014–15 San Jose Sharks season was the 24th season in the National Hockey League.^[2] The Sharks did not qualify for the 2015 Stanley Cup playoffs, thus ending their ten-season playoff streak. This is the only season in the span between the 2003–04 and 2018–19 seasons in which the Sharks missed the playoffs (not counting the cancelled 2004–05 season).

Off-season

On May 15, 2014, following a first round playoff loss to the Los Angeles Kings, General Manager Doug Wilson made known his intentions to build a "younger, more aggressive team", announcing that the team would retain Head Coach Todd McLellan, but will move 33-year-old winger Martin Havlat, who still had one year remaining on his contract, and would not re-sign 37-year-old impending unrestricted free agent defenceman Dan Boyle.^[3] The Sharks also acquired John Scott and Tye McGinn.^[4]

Regular season

The Sharks did not qualify for the Stanley Cup playoffs for the first time since 2002–03, ending the second-longest active NHL playoff appearance streak at ten seasons.
