San Jose Sharks general manager Doug Wilson isn't ready to remove the interim head coach tag from Bob Boughner's title yet.

Noting the Sharks' season is not officially over with the NHL on hiatus due to the coronavirus, Wilson voiced his support by saying Boughner has the edge in taking over the job on a permanent basis.

"Does Bob know our group and have the upper hand in this process? Absolutely," Wilson said during a conference call Thursday.
