Michael Misa's Absence from the Game
The question on everyone's mind is why Michael Misa is not playing against the New Jersey Devils. Is it due to the matchup against the Eastern Conference leaders?
San Jose Sharks head coach Ryan Warsofsky shed some light on the situation, stating,
Not so much in this case tonight, as it's not a back-to-back game like the previous one against the Devils.
However, Warsofsky did mention,
A lot of hockey this week, so got to manage it, considering the team's packed schedule with four games this week.
Despite Misa's impressive performance with eight shots in 10:10 of playing time against the Los Angeles Kings, two possible reasons for his absence come to mind. Firstly, he struggled in the first period against the Kings, getting stripped of the puck multiple times.
