Patrick Marleau 500th Goal Ignites San Jose Sharks Win

The 2016-17 NHL season has been one of milestones for the San Jose Sharks. The latest was a Patrick Marleau 500th goal that lifted them to victory over a Pacific Division rival Thursday, Feb. 2.

Unfortunately, this milestone came on the road. Fortunately, it came within the division. Hence, the Vancouver Canucks now trail the Sharks by 16 points with just one more game remaining.

San Jose general manager Doug Wilson just reached the 1000th game of his tenure Tuesday. Coincidentally, it was a win over the team he played 938 of his 1024 NHL games for—the Chicago Blackhawks.
