NHL: William Eklund was noticeable for the San Jose Sharks in their preseason game with the Los Angeles Kings
SAN JOSE – William Eklund hasn’t been shy about saying he wants to be on the San Jose Sharks’ roster for the regular season opener, now less than two weeks away.
“He’s done some good things at camp for sure,” Sharks coach David Quinn said of Eklund before Saturday’s game. “I thought practice was a good practice for him. … So just continue to improve and play with that pace and tenacity he’s played with, which complements his skill. That’s why I’m so high on him because of the pace and his competitiveness.
The Sharks play again on Tuesday and Thursday in Las Vegas and Salt Lake City, respectively, in their final two preseason games. All NHL teams have to get down to a 23-man roster by Oct. 9. Eklund, who turns 21 on Oct. 12, the date of the Sharks’ regular-season opener against the Vegas Golden Knights, does not require waivers to be sent to the AHL. He needs to outplay other Sharks’ forwards to earn an NHL roster spot right away.Quinn said Saturday morning that he’s been impressed with Chrona in training camp practices thus far, and that seemed to carry over into the first period.
