SJHN Daily: Halttunen Goal Is SportsCenter’s Top Play, Mukhamadullin Close To Re-Signing?

San Jose Sharks prospect Kasper Halttunen scored a goal so unusual it was SportsCenter’s Top Play.
His London Knights teammate, and fellow San Jose Sharks prospect Sam Dickinson, told London Free Press that Halttunen has the best shot in the OHL: “He’s probably the best goal scorer in the OHL for two years now. You see the way he scores goals. It’s all over the ice, not just his shot. He makes a move and knows how to put the puck in the net.”
"He's got the best shot in the OHL. He's probably the best goal-scorer in the OHL for two years now."
