VANCOUVER, British Columbia — Patrick Marleau won a gold medal inside Rogers Arena as a member of Team Canada at the 2010 Winter Olympics. He has a chance for one more unforgettable memorable moment here Thursday night.
Marleau, with six goals and seven points in his last four games, will be looking for his 500th NHL career goal when the Sharks play the Vancouver Canucks, the first of five meetings between the two teams this season.
The play of Marleau, who reached 499 goals on Tuesday against Chicago, is one reason why the Sharks have won seven of their past eight and are in sole possession of first place in the Pacific Division.
