"Just a very skilled player," San Jose coach David Quinn said of Studnicka. "A guy that certainly was highly thought of as a prospect. He's been in two organizations where they've been really forward-heavy, so I don't know if he's really had the opportunity that he was looking for, to the fault of nobody. He's still a young player. He's got some good size to him, and he's got skills, so we're really excited to have him."
The Sharks have steadied the waters after beginning the season 0-10-1. The one point came as a result of a shootout loss to the Avalanche in the second game of the season, and since the rough start they are 9-8-2. They'll face a Colorado team coming off a 6-2 loss at Winnipeg on Saturday night that snapped a two-game winning streak. The Avalanche fell behind 3-0 early and never recovered, but the positives were they avoided being blanked for the fourth time this season and Nathan MacKinnon extended his point streak to 14 games (six goals, 17 assists).
