Which Montreal Canadiens player also played for the San Jose Sharks? NHL Immaculate Grid answers for August 17
The NHL Immaculate Grid has been a fun and challenging game for hockey fans to test their knowledge. One grid on Aug. 17 requires players to name a player who has played for the Montreal Canadiens and San Jose Sharks.
Montreal is one of the original six teams in the NHL while San Jose entered the league in 1991. Although the teams aren't rivals and are in different conferences, the teams still haven't made many trades as not many players have played for both the Canadiens and Sharks.
One player that has played for both teams is defenseman Josh Gorges who spent 2006-07 with the Sharks skating in 96 games. He was then traded from San Jose to Montreal where he spent parts of eight seasons with the team. With the Canadiens, Georges skated in 464 games and recorded 88 points.
