However, for San Jose Sharks winger Kevin Labanc, he appears to be heading in the opposite direction.
Coming off a career-high 40 point campaign in the 2017-2018 season, San Jose Sharks right winger Kevin Labanc held high hopes entering his third year in the National Hockey League.
Head Coach Peter DeBoer started Labanc on the second line with Tomas Hertl and Logan Couture and earned a spot on the top power play unit on the opening day of the season. Labanc tallied seven points in his first ten games, including two helpers on the man-advantage.
