Outlook Michael Misa

Misa faces tough road test centering second line against Dallas

Michael Misa and the Sharks visit American Airlines Center tonight to battle the Stars on the second night of a back-to-back set. The 19-year-old forward continues to center San Jose's second line between Mason Marchment and Kiefer Sherwood while maintaining a secondary man-advantage role on the second power-play unit. Misa has shown steady offensive growth with four points over his last six games, though the rebuilding Sharks (7–10–1) enter tonight as decisive road underdogs in a projected higher-scoring environment against Dallas, who is expected to start Jake Oettinger (unconfirmed) in goal.

Our projection for tonight points to modest expectations, slating Misa for ~0.5–1.0 point alongside ~1–2 shots on goal, a small goal chance, and 2.2 fantasy points. Operating primarily at even strength with PP2 duties slightly caps his upside against a disciplined Dallas defense. Tonight's clash concludes a demanding four-game schedule this week, across which our models project roughly 3.0 fantasy points in total. Facing a challenging road matchup on tired legs with limited special-teams priority, Misa is best left out of standard lineups tonight. Today’s action: Bench.
