Outlook Michael Misa
Misa centers second line in Ottawa with modest scoring outlook
Michael Misa heads to Canadian Tire Centre tonight centering San Jose's second line alongside Ivar Stenberg and Kiefer Sherwood, with additional work on the second power-play unit. The 19-year-old sophomore has shown bright flashes of playmaking, recently generating four scoring chances in his last outing to complement three points over his past seven games. The Sharks enter Ottawa as slight underdogs in a potentially higher-scoring contest, facing netminder Samuel Ersson (unconfirmed). With middle-six minutes and steady offensive creation, Misa has an opportunity to exploit Ottawa's defense if San Jose can establish sustained zone pressure.
Our projection for tonight pegs Misa for ~0.5–1.0 point with ~1–2 shots on goal and a small goal chance, translating to roughly 2.0 fantasy points. He continues to offer modest offensive upside, though his limited power-play time on PP2 slightly caps his overall ceiling. Looking across the week, San Jose is in the middle of a four-game schedule, leaving just one game remaining after tonight in Boston. While he remains an intriguing dynasty stash and deep-league option, his modest projection keeps him outside standard lineup tiers. Today's action: Bench.
