Sharks vs. Predators, Game 2: Joe Thornton, Joe Pavelski join the round two party

Game one was all about the second line. Joonas Donskoi, Logan Couture and Joel Ward provided the goods to put the Sharks up 1-0 in the second round series. The trio played well again on Sunday evening, but the game two victory belongs to the Joes.

Joe Thornton scored what ended up as the game-winner into an empty net, and it was Jumbo's pass that set up Joe Pavelski for the second goal of the night. Both plays proved to be key components for the Sharks win and announce the arrival of two of San Jose's most important players to the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
