Vincent Desharnais became one of the feel-good stories for the Edmonton Oilers last season, though he recently opened up about his struggles before making it to the NHL.
After being drafted in the seventh round of the 2016 draft, Desharnais played three more seasons of college hockey for Providence College and an additional three seasons split between the ECHL and AHL before finally making his NHL debut this past season.
On Friday, the Oilers 6-foot-6 defenceman appeared on The Sick Podcast with Tony Marinaro and discussed his journey to becoming an NHLer.
While he is thrilled with where his career is today, he opened up about a concussion sustained during the 2019-20 season, which put him in a terrible mental state.
