7 years agoSan Jose Sharks center Joe Thornton, who missed the entire first round sweep of the Ducks, won't be able to help the team in the first game of the second round battle versus Vegas either. He hasn't played since Jan. 23 after injuring his right knee. However, Thornton has been on the ice in practices and he even took part of the warmups during Round 1, so it seems like his return isn't far away. The team didn't miss him against the Ducks, but they would certainly like to have him available. Jumbo Joe had 23 assists and 36 points in 43 regular season games. He's got 123 points in 162 career postseason games.--Taavi Pailk - RotoBaller
