Forward Tomas Hertl agreed to terms on a two-year, $6 million contract with the San Jose Sharks, TSN reported Wednesday. Hertl, 22, can become a restricted free agent Friday.
He had NHL career highs of 21 goals and 46 points in 81 games this season, and six goals and 11 points in 20 Stanley Cup Playoff games. Hertl sustained a knee injury in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final following a hit by Pittsburgh Penguins forward Patric Hornqvist and missed the remainder of the series. Selected by the Sharks with the 17th pick of the 2012 NHL Draft, Hertl has 49 goals and 102 points in 200 regular-season games.
