"SAN JOSE San Jose Sharks rookies Michael Misa and Sam Dickinson will have to wait to make their respective NHL debuts. Misa and Dickinson, first-round draft choices who cracked the Sharks' 23-man roster to start the regular season, will both be healthy scratches Thursday when the Sharks host the Vegas Golden Knights in their season-opening game. Misa, a center, was not on any of the Sharks' four forward lines for Thursday's morning skate at the team's practice facility."
"Misa was taken second overall by the Sharks at the NHL Draft in June, and Dickinson was taken 11th overall by San Jose last year. The Sharks are also starting veteran goalie Alex Nedeljkovic against Vegas on Thursday, with Yaroslav Askarov, thought to be the team's goalie of the future, backing him up. Thursday's game starts a three-game homestand by the Sharks, who host the Anaheim Ducks on Saturday and the Carolina Hurricanes on Tuesday."
