THN On The 'A': Sharks' Nick Cicek on His Rise to the AHL and NHL
This week on The Hockey News On The 'A' with Jacob Stoller and Patrick Williams: - San Jose Sharks defenseman Nick Cicek joined the show to discuss his rapid rise up the pro hockey ladder. The 22-year-old from Winnipeg started last season on an AHL two-way deal, which he parlayed into an entry-level contract with the Sharks this past summer. - Patrick spoke with Minnesota's 2021 first-round pick, goaltender Jesper Wallstedt. After recording a .894 save percentage in his first 10 AHL games with the Iowa Wild, he has since posted a .927 SP over his last nine appearances. - Thomas Harley of the Texas Stars is the prospect of the week. The 2019 first-round pick has scored 20 points in 36 games while being deployed heavily at even strength and molding his utility on the penalty kill. - The Winnipeg Jets and the AHL's Manitoba Moose are the teams of the week. Jacob went through five Jets prospects with promising potential. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
