SAN JOSE – After every road game, it’s standard practice around the league to have a row of pizzas laid out somewhere in the visitors dressing room for immediate nourishment (Sharks fans already know that defenseman Brent Burns fully partakes in the meal).
One player who may now be skipping that pizza is third year forward Tomas Hertl. Looking to have a rebound year after a difficult sophomore campaign, Hertl has made some significant changes to his diet, revealing recently that he has cut out a number of foods per doctor’s orders following the results of a blood test.
