With Alex Wennberg out, Michael Misa needs to step up for the San Jose Sharks. He did last night, according to Stathletes.
Sheng Peng writes that Michael Misa broke out of an early-season slump by demonstrating his speed and shooting in the San Jose Sharks' 4-3 overtime comeback victory against the Montreal Canadiens. Macklin Celebrini led the comeback with two goals, including the game-winner, while Tyler Toffoli and Misa each scored one goal.
Peng notes that Misa's performance is crucial for San Jose, particularly with center Alex Wennberg sidelined by an upper-body injury. Tracking data showed the 19-year-old led the Sharks in five-on-five rush shots and offensive zone closer carries, which Peng argues signals growing confidence for the young center.
