Sharks Tomas Hertl assisting rookie duo both on and off the ice

SAN JOSE – Being new to a team and not speaking the native tongue would understandably be a challenge for Sharks’ newcomers Lukas Radil and Radim Simek.

Lucky for the Czech rookies, they have Tomas Hertl to help them get acclimated.

“I try to help them out as much as I can,” Hertl told NBC Sports California ahead of the Sharks Thursday night rumble with the Dallas Stars. “For (Simek) I’ll try to translate, so I’ll help him on the ice and off the ice. Anything he needs.”
