Karmanov was immediately rewarded with a five-minute major penalty and a game misconduct. Now, he&#8217;ll also miss the Battalion&#8217;s first three regular season games.<\/p>\n<p>North Bay&#8217;s season will begin on September 18, when they visit the Barrie Colts. Karmanov will also miss games against the Oshawa Generals and the Brampton Steelheads. He&#8217;ll be eligible to return for the Battalion&#8217;s fourth game of the season against the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds on September 26.<\/p>\n<p>Considering Karmanov is heading to the NCAA next season, it&#8217;s difficult to imagine this is the start he envisioned to his final OHL campaign.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Alexander Karmanov&#8217;s time as a San Jose Sharks prospect isn&#8217;t off to the best start.
