"Michael Misa, the San Jose Sharks' top forward prospect, scored his first NHL goal on Sunday against the Minnesota Wild. In the first period, Sharks defenseman Timothy Liljegren took the puck toward the Wild net, but Minnesota goalie Jesper Wallstedt saved his shot from close range. But with Wallstedt out of position, a nearby Misa calmly scored at the 13:35 mark to give the Sharks a 2-0 lead."
"Celebrini assisted on the Sharks' first goal on Sunday, as William Eklund scored on the power play at the 5:28 mark. With that assist, and Misa's goal, a teenager figured into 11 straight Sharks goals, which was two shy of the NHL record held by the 1090-81 Edmonton Oilers. That streak ended in the second period, as Eklund, 23, scored his second goal at the 11:15 mark off an assist from Philipp Kurashev, 26, to give San Jose a 3-2 lead."
Michael Misa scored his first NHL goal for the San Jose Sharks against the Minnesota Wild, capitalizing on Minnesota goalie Jesper Wallstedt being out of position at 13:35 of the first period. Misa is the second overall pick from June's NHL Draft and registered three points in his fifth NHL game after earlier assists on the road trip. The goal made Misa the sixth 18-year-old to score for the Sharks. Macklin Celebrini assisted on William Eklund's power-play goal, and teenagers factored into 11 straight Sharks goals, two shy of a long-standing NHL record. Eklund and Ryan Reaves later added goals to give San Jose the lead.
