Here's today's NHL Nugget – this Birthday Backcheck features San Jose Sharks rookie Will Smith, who turns 20 years old on March 17.

Smith became the youngest player in Sharks history since Patrick Marleau to score multiple goals in a game when he netted his first two NHL markers.

Will Smith, who turns 20 on March 17, was a top-10 finalist for the Hobey Baker Award in 2023-24.
