Rookie Rise: Sharks’ Depth Shines | San Jose Sharks News

San Jose’s rookie squad just crushed Utah 3-1, with Jake Gustafson lighting the lamp twice and Quentin Musty nailing the empty-netter. While Ivar Stenberg gets all the headlines, it’s the late-round gems like Gustafson — a sixth-rounder from 2026 — who’re quietly stepping up as reliable checking centers, studying stars like Cody Glass to carve out their niche. Andre Gasseau and Carson Wetsch also shined, both scoring twice in a prior game; Gasseau’s poised for a bottom-six pivot role, while Wetsch, a third-rounder, brought fire (and an ejection) defending his mates. The goalie depth is building too, with ECHL vet Matt Davis signed to the Barracuda — though he’ll face stiff competition. This isn’t just about top picks: it’s the whole system rising, full of grit, skill, and serious upside. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
