If the San Jose Sharks ever misplace their version of forward Tomas Hertl, luckily they have another one not too far away.

The team pointed out a striking resemblance between Hertl and San Francisco 49ers quarterback Nick Mullens, who made his first NFL start on Thursday night.

Did anyone else see the resemblance?
It seems, the 49ers did, judging by their reply to the Sharks.

But, despite their similar faces, let's just keep them both playing for their own teams for now.
