Next Wave Report: November 30

In our previous update, our draft picks were finding success early in their respective seasons, including Tristen Robins being named WHL Player of the Month.
Many of our draft picks have stepped up this season, not only for their teams but for the Sharks as well. These players are surely ones to keep an eye on throughout the season.
Let's take a dive into this week's update of our Next Wave report, presented by Kaiser Permanente:

OHL Leading Scorer Coe named OHL Player of the Week, Gaudreau earns first shutout.
Killer Coe
2020 Draft Selection Brandon Coe was named the OHL Player of the Week on November 22 following his sixth consecutive multi-point game. Coe, who currently leads the OHL in points (39), has recorded 17 points (five goals and 12 assists) in his last seven games.
Shut Them Out
2021 Third Round Draft selection Benjamin Gaudreau earned his first shutout of the season with a 26 save performance on November 21. This past week's Sharks Prospect of the Week was also named OHL Goaltender of the Week for his performance. He is currently second in the league in SV% (0.916%) among goaltenders who have played at least ten games.
