The San Jose Sharks' 2025-26 rolls on with a matchup against the Eastern Conference Carolina Hurricanes.
The last game against the Anaheim Ducks was a special one, it was the debut of Sam Dickinson. However, tonight is also special. Michael Misa, the Sharks' second overall pick in the 2025 NHL draft will make his NHL debut tonight.
