McKeon: Tough to keep Sharks' Thornton off ice
Last Saturday, Joe Thornton got struck near his right eye by a deflected puck early in a game against Anaheim. Thornton went to the locker room for repairs, and after missing only seven minutes of game action, he returned with stitches to his eyebrow and his eye so swollen he could barely see out of it. All told, Thornton ranks 29th on the NHL's all-time regular-season assist list (813) and 50th in points (1,149). First for Crosby: The Penguins' superb captain scored in the third period and in overtime to beat the Islanders on Tuesday - marking the first time he has tied then won a game...

Ducks Can't Complete Comeback in Shootout, Lose 4-3
After being dominated for two periods, the Ducks found a way to push the Sharks to a shootout, but couldn't finish it off and now trail the Pacific Division lead by one point. Final Score: Ducks 3, Sharks 4 (SO) First Period Recap: Very early in the first period, Joe Thornton had a scare, when a point shot deflected off of a teammate in front of the net and smacked him in the eye. He was able to leave the ice without stopping play, a few minutes, a few stitches and a serious shiner later, he was back in the game. Not surprisingly, the first 20 minutes were controlled by the Sharks, who...

The Joes score as the host Sharks top the Kings by one goal, as expected
The highly entertaining battle of California comes to the expected conclusion as the Sharks top the Kings 3-2 after an eight round shootout. Joe Thornton scores twice without a shot as the Sharks beat the rival Los Angeles Kings 3-2 in a shootout. That sounds impossible (and Joe Thornton was credited with four shots), but the pass-happy Sharks captain did manage to put the puck past Ben Scrivens twice without really recording a shot, through an unfortunate bounce for Scrivens and a shootout goal. Yes, shootout. Joe Thornton shot in the shootout. The first goal came a mere eighteen seconds...
