Mukhamadullin on Playing Devils for 1st Time, His Sharks’ Connection As Teenager
Shakir Mukhamadullin returned to the San Jose Sharks’ lineup on Thursday night after suffering an upper-body injury.
He played against the New Jersey Devils, the team that drafted him in the first round of the 2020 Draft, for the first time.
The San Jose Sharks acquired Mukhamadullin in February 2023 as part of a trade that sent Timo Meier to the East Coast.
I [was] in Russia, and [at] 5am in the morning, my agent just told me that the trade happened.
Mukhamadullin recalled the moment he found out about the trade as a defenseman for Salavat UFA.
