SAN JOSE, Calif. -- San Jose Sharks center Joe Thornton is back in the lineup after missing the first two games of the playoffs with a left knee injury.
Thornton is in his usual role as the top-line center for San Jose against Edmonton on Sunday night. Thornton had missed the past two weeks after injuring his knee in a regular-season game at Vancouver. The Sharks split the first two games of the series in Edmonton without Thornton.
Thornton started the game on a line with captain Joe Pavelski and Melker Karlsson as his wings.
