Returning from an ACL injury, Tomas Hertl is back like he never left.
The San Jose Sharks themselves are off to a mediocre start, winning their home opener and then falling short in the next two matchups.
However, in both games against the Yotes and the first showdown against the Blues, Hertl has shown tremendous promise.
