San Jose Sharks
Eklund Has Become Double Threat (+)
William Eklund is evolving.
Head coach David Quinn highlighted the 21-year-old winger’s improved two-way game yesterday, after the San Jose Sharks’ 2-1 victory over the Winnipeg Jets.
“He’s understanding that there’s an awful lot to [being] a really good NHL hockey player and he’s adding a lot to his game in a short period of time,” Quinn said. “His D-zone has been better, his tracking has been better, his play away from the puck has gotten better. Those are the things that are gonna allow him to be a really good player at this level.”
