Undrafted 2nd year left wing Curt Gogol(13) is signed to a three-year entry level deal with San Jose Sharks that keeps him in the prospect system through 2015.
He’s not exactly a scoring leader but uses every speck of his 6’1″ 190 lbs. frame to put himself square in the middle of the action at all times.
In 53 AHL games with Worcester Sharks in his rookie season he scored 6 goals and 4 assists while amassing 167 penalty minutes with 19 fights, 2nd on the team.
The 21-year old has appeared in 14 games in 2012/2013 and is on pace to record a career high in goals with 3 already having reached the back of the net; and his three fights to his credit is maybe a bit off last year’s mark but with 65 minutes in penalties accrued that side of the number may show an increase.
His style is that of the pest but he’s a pretty well-rounded skater that may just find his way to the show playing a similar role to Andrew Desjardins on the NHL Sharks.
Got to love how he wears the number 13 too.
