"One of the things I always have a tough time with, especially from the press box when it's really far from the ice, is figuring out who I'm watching at the start of the season. I'm still training my brain to match names to jersey numbers. That's been especially true the past few seasons with how much personnel turnover the Sharks have had. So, when you're watching the game tonight, here's the opening night roster along with the player numbers:"
"There are three rookies on the list, Misa, Askarov and Dickinson. Don't be surprised if they're not in every game this season. Unlike Celebrini and Smith, they're not locks. It seems like they're still working on plans to ease Misa and Dickinson into the lineup. Askarov is going to get the same treatment as a rookie goaltender learning how to play in the league. He'll get his reps, but odds are it won't be against the toughest matchups, at least to start."
There are plenty of new faces and leaders on Team Teal this season. An opening-night roster with player numbers is provided to help match names to jerseys. A nickname guide is available for easier fan reference, including family-friendly options. Three rookies—Misa, Askarov and Dickinson—are on the roster but are not guaranteed regular playing time and will likely be eased into the lineup. Askarov will receive rookie goaltender handling with limited exposure to the toughest matchups early on. Watching options include attending The Tank, watching on TV, or streaming audio, though TV access may be restricted.
