Lucas Carlsson, a new defenseman for the San Jose Sharks, faced uncertainty after tearing his ACL last year, jeopardizing his future in professional hockey. The Sharks signed him to a two-year contract during free agency, and after extensive rehabilitation, he began the season with their AHL affiliate, the Barracuda. Recalled to the Sharks, Carlsson celebrated his NHL return with a pivotal game-winning goal and a key defensive play against the Boston Bruins, reflecting on his difficult journey back to the league after nearly a year out due to injury.
"That was pretty much the first thing I thought of, like, what am I going to do now? Because, obviously, it's a serious injury."
"It's been tough the last 10 months, but now I feel so much better. So I'm in a good place right now."
