Tomáš Hertl (born November 12, 1993) is a Czech Professional Hockey Player who currently plays for the San Jose Sharks. Hertl was selected 17th overall in the 2012 entry draft by the Sharks. Before getting drafted, Hertl played for HC Slavia Praha of the Czech Extraliga. After getting dafted he went back to play with them for one more year before heading to San Jose.

In the preseason, Hertl scored 3 goals and 1 assist, and joined Joe Thornton and Brent Burns on a line, filling the hole created by Raffi Torres‘ injury. He tallied his first career point with an assist on a goal by Brent Burns. Hertl scored his first two NHL goals in the next game on October 5th. Hertl became the youngest player to score 2 goals for the Sharks in one game since Patrick Marleau on March 17, 1999.  On October 8, Hertl registered 4 goals against the New York Rangers in a 9-2 victory, making him the youngest player in the NHL to record a four-goal game (19 years, 330 days old) since jimmy Carson did in the 1987-88 season with the L.A. Kings (19 years, 254 days old). Hertl also became the first Shark to score four goals in one game since Owen Nolan in 1995.

          Tomáš Hertl scored 4 goals, while just getting just 11 minuets of ice time. While 4 goal games are rare themselves, being 19 adds to it, and doing it in under 12 mins of ice time is just amazing.
