The San Jose Sharks assigned top prospect Michael Misa to the AHL’s San Jose Barracuda on a conditioning stint..

Misa, 18, was drafted second overall by the Sharks in the 2025 draft after recording 62 goals and 134 points with the Ontario Hockey League’s Saginaw Spirit last season.

The 6-foot-1 centre hasn’t played since Nov. 1 due to an undisclosed injury and was given a week-to-week timeline.

Misa has appeared in seven games this season, recording a goal and three points and averaging 11:44 of ice time.

The Oakville, Ont., native is also eligible to represent Canada at the 2026 World Juniors in Minnesota but the Sharks have not indicated if he will be loaned to the team.

He last represented Canada at the 2023 Hlinka Gretzky Cup where he registered two goals and eight points to take home a gold medal.

San Jose sits fourth in the Pacific Division with a 13-11-3 record and are in possession of the first wild-card spot in the Western Conference.
