SAN JOSE – You won’t find Micheal Haley’s name at the top of any advanced stat geek’s Microsoft Excel spreadsheet.
But the five-foot-10, 205-pound forward has been a mainstay in the Sharks lineup lately, while other players have seemingly fallen out of favor. On Tuesday against Anaheim, Haley suited up for the 15th time in the last 18 games, while guys like Matt Nieto and Tommy Wingels remained healthy scratches.
Just don’t tell Haley he’s a regular.
“In my line of work I tend not to think you’re regular at anything, you know? Things can change,” he said.
