Erik Karlsson has made something incredibly clear since coming to the San Jose Sharks: He’s focusing on the present and what he can do to help his new team win games. No dwelling on the past. No worrying about the future. Just focusing on the tasks he and the Sharks have in front of them.
During his big press conference Friday in Ottawa ahead of his first game against the Senators since being traded to San Jose, he echoed that exact same mentality.
The decorated defenseman is gearing up to play his first game against the Senators – the team that drafted him with the 15th overall pick in the 2008 NHL Entry Draft.
