SAN JOSE Michael Misa's brief wait to make his NHL debut with the San Jose Sharks will be coming to an end. Misa will play in his first NHL game on Tuesday when the Sharks host the Carolina Hurricanes to close out their season-opening three-game homestand, coach Ryan Warsofksy confirmed. The Sharks juggled their lines for Monday's practice, and Misa, a center, skated on the Sharks' third line with wingers Ty Dellandrea and Philipp Kurashev.
