Programming note: Watch the re-air of Joe Thornton's 400th career NHL goal tonight at 8 p.m. PT on NBC Sports California.
Joe Thornton picked a great time to notch his 400th career goal.
Back on Nov. 13, 2018, the Sharks welcomed the Nashville Predators to SAP Center, who led the NHL with 27 points at the time. At first, San Jose appeared to be more than up to the task, opening up a 3-0 lead in the first period, which easily could have been larger.
Then, it all started going south.
The Sharks were held scoreless in the second period while the Predators climbed all the way back to tie the score.
