SAN JOSE — Patrick Marleau moved to within one goal of joining one of the most exclusive clubs in hockey Tuesday.
Marleau scored on the power play with 5:54 left in the second period for career goal No. 499 as the Sharks took a 1-0 lead over the Chicago Blackhawks at SAP Center. Chicago tied the game with 3:07 left in the second as a wrist shot by Dennis Rasmussen from inside the Sharks’ zone got past goalie Martin Jones.
On Marleau’s goal, Brent Burns put a shot on goal that was saved by Blackhawks goalie Corey Crawford.
