CALGARY, Alberta — Before we dive into all the juicy-revenge stuff, let’s kick things off with a mandatory Joe Thornton milestone update.
Throw 1,000 points with the Sharks into the pile of remarkable achievements that Thornton’s stacked up this season, a list that includes 1,500 games played, 1,000 games played with the Sharks and becoming the 10th-most prolific passer in NHL history.
Thornton recorded his 1,000th point in teal on Thursday by setting up Evander Kane’s first goal of the night with a highlight reel pass through the neutral zone that he banked off the side boards.
