The Story in 60 Seconds

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.
