Havelid on How He’s Improving, Hanging Out With Eklund Brothers (+)

Mattias Havelid was playing his best before he got hurt.

The San Jose Sharks’ 2022 second-rounder had not played since Mar. 15, a season-ending lower-body injury because the Barracuda season ended last week in Henderson. In his rookie AHL campaign, Havelid had five goals and 15 points in 44 games. Before his injury, Havelid had three goals and six points in his last 14 appearances.
