Written about him
Wennberg and Trouba get the other team's top line at SAP Center
Wennberg's line drew the heavier top-line matchup at home, while Celebrini's line took more defensive-zone faceoffs; practice this week kept Allan and Trouba together and moved Stenberg's line.
San Jose Can Lose Nolan Allan For Nothing, Which Is Exactly Why He Will Make The Team
Nolan Allan has played 43 NHL games, all of them for Chicago in 2024-25. He spent last season in the American Hockey League, 29 games with Rockford and 35 with the Barracuda after the January trade, and San Jose never dressed him. The Sharks signed him for two more years in June anyway. PuckPedia lists him as waiver-eligible and lists Luca Cagnoni as exempt, and that difference is the reason the least-used defenseman in the group is the one the roster has to make room for.
