For only the second time in his 22-year NHL career, Patrick Marleau will take the ice at SAP Center as a visiting player when the Sharks host the Pittsburgh Penguins on Saturday night. San Jose's all-time leader in points, goals and games played was shipped to Pittsburgh at the trade deadline, but only after showing the entire league that he still has plenty left in the tank.
That much was evident from his first game back in a Sharks uniform on Oct. 10. San Jose had dropped its first four games of the season, and turned to a very familiar face for a jumpstart.
