We are just 55 days away from the San Jose Sharks kicking off their season against the Vegas Golden Knights at SAP Center. With each passing day, the countdown drops another number, and today we take a look at the Sharks’ history with players who wore #55.

There have been six players to wear the number 55 in Sharks history, so without further ado, let's get into it.

First up, Grant Stevenson, who played for the Sharks in 2005-06. He only managed to play 47 games and scored 10 goals and 12 assists for 22 points. Unfortunately, even though he did not do bad with 22 points in 47 games, he only played one year in the NHL.

Next, we have a very interesting situation. Both Ben Eager and Mike Moore wore the number 55 in the same season. Looking at Moore first, he only played in six NHL games, all with the Sharks, and scored one goal, which was his only point. As for Eager, he played 34 games with San Jose and had four goals and three assists for seven points before leaving to join the Edmonton Oilers the following season.

Next up, we have Sasha Chmelevski, who wore it during the 2020-21 and 2021-22 seasons. Over those two seasons, he appeared in 24 games and had 10 career assists but never scored a goal.

Derrick Pouliot wore it during the 2022-23 season, where he played in eight games. The defenseman only recorded two assists during his time with the Sharks. However, he did play nine seasons in the NHL and had 54 points in 226 career games.

Lastly, Walker Duehr, who played for the Sharks in the 2024-25 season. After spending four seasons with the Calgary Flames, he joined San Jose and played in eight games, scoring two goals and no assists.
