Tierney, Karlsson Pleasant Surprises For San Jose Sharks

Ever since last season’s playoff collapse, general manager Doug Wilson has stated time and again that it was time to incorporate younger players into the San Jose Sharks lineup. While meeting with the media one final time to wrap up the 2014-15 season, Wilson singled out two young players that impressed during their inaugural season with the Sharks: Melker Karlsson and Chris Tierney.

Karlsson, 24, was a revelation for the Sharks this season. After playing the past four years in Sweden, Karlsson made his debut in teal two months into the season when the Sharks played host to the Edmonton Oilers.
