The hype train for Marcus Sorensen officially left the station on Thursday night, the culmination of scoring his first goal while getting a shot to play on the third line with Tomas Hertl and Joel Ward. The 24-year-old forward signed with the Sharks last year as a free agent and in four games already has two points — not a bad start.
Beyond the points, Sorensen plays a solid two-way game that’s reminiscent of what Joonas Donskoi brings to the table. He skates well, is a decent possession player and can score. The proof is in his AHL numbers.
