Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:58:51 GMT

Jack Studnicka certainly isn’t lacking incentive as his tenure with the San Jose Sharks gets underway.Studnicka, acquired by the Sharks on Friday from Vancouver, is not only in a contract year, but also wants to prove he can again be a full-time NHL player after he was placed on waivers by the Canucks last month.Studnicka, now with his third NHL team after he was drafted by Boston in 2017, will get that chance tonight as the Sharks finish a brief road trip against the Colorado Avalanche at Ball Arena in Denver. It appears Studnicka will begin the game as the Sharks’ third-line center, replacing Nico Sturm, who was injured last week.“Extremely motivated,” Studnicka said Sunday morning. “It was a tough experience to clear (waivers) there but continue to try to prove people wrong and hopefully prove the Sharks right.”Sturm was injured last Tuesday in the Sharks’ game against the Winnipeg Jets and is considered week-to-week with what’s been described as a mid-body injury, although...

Using duct tape, they attached one end of a garden hose to the box and the other end to the tailpipe of Beckcom’s SUV. According to the Texas Rangers’ report, Beckcom then revved the en...
