THN On The 'A': Sharks' Nick Cicek on His Rise to the AHL and NHL

This week on The Hockey News On The 'A' with Jacob Stoller and Patrick Williams: - San Jose Sharks defenseman Nick Cicek joined the show to discuss his rapid rise up the pro hockey ladder. The 22-year-old from Winnipeg started last season on an AHL two-way deal, which he parlayed into an entry-level contract with the Sharks this past summer. - Patrick spoke with Minnesota's 2021 first-round pick, goaltender Jesper Wallstedt. After recording a .894 save percentage in his first 10 AHL games with the Iowa Wild, he has since posted a .927 SP over his last nine appearances. - Thomas Harley of the Texas Stars is the prospect of the week. The 2019 first-round pick has scored 20 points in 36 games while being deployed heavily at even strength and molding his utility on the penalty kill. - The Winnipeg Jets and the AHL's Manitoba Moose are the teams of the week. Jacob went through five Jets prospects with promising potential.
