San Jose Sharks‘ 2008 6th round pick (#177 overall) center Tommy Wingels(17) played in 5 games in his rookie season up with the big team but failed to connect for any points.
With Worcester in the AHL he put up 17 goals and 16 assists in 69 games.
After a strong showing in training camp, he found himself in in the lineup on opening night and got himself his first NHL point, an assist and looks to be on his way to solidifying a permanent spot.
He plays with a lot of grit and determination every shift out there and has no problem putting himself in the middle of any situation.
