Tomas Hertl Carries San Jose Offense in Loss
5 years agoSan Jose Sharks forward Tomas Hertl scored both of his team's goals in a 3-2 loss to the Coyotes. Hertl has now scored goals in each of his last three games and has at least a point in his last four games. Now with 28 points in 32 games this season, Hertl has been more productive than his Yahoo! ownership would indicate (81 percent owned). What is likely holding him back from being a fantasy mainstay is that he has not been on San Jose's top line or top power-play unit. He did lead all Sharks forwards in power-play ice time Tuesday night though which could be a sign that more favorable power-play usage is on the way. It could also just be a result of Kevin Labanc's mid-game injury, so it is a situation to monitor going into their next game on Saturday.
