Joe Pavelski’s comeback sparks Sharks’ hot start in Game 7

SAN JOSE — Joe Pavelski took the ice in Game 7 warmups Wednesday with a well-groomed head of hair — and a head that apparently recovered quite well from a “gruesome” concussion two weeks earlier.

Less than six minutes into the game, Pavelski scored and the Tank exploded in raucous applause. Less than six minutes later, Pavelski sent a pass from behind the net to assist Tomas Hertl’s goal for a raucous, 2-0 lead.

What a return from the Sharks captain.
