McCarthy plays in first NHL game after call-up

Eight months after helping to lead Boston University's hockey team to an NCAA Frozen Four title, Sharks forward John McCarthy played in his first NHL game Saturday night.

"A reward for him," Sharks coach Todd McLellan said of the decision to make McCarthy the 10th player called up from San Jose's development team in Worcester. "The organization is very confident in his ability, and he's done a tremendous job in earning this opportunity."
