SAN JOSE — Another day at the rink, another remarkable milestone in Sharks territory.
After witnessing the franchise’s 1,000th win (Jan. 10), Brent Burns’ 1,000th game (Dec. 27), Joe Thornton’s 1,500th game (Nov. 8) and the alternate captain’s 400th goal (Nov. 13), Sharks fans will be treated to another rare feat at SAP Center Tuesday. Thornton will suit up for his 1,000th game with the Sharks, joining Patrick Marleau on the list of players who’ve made it that far in a teal jersey when his team takes on the Pittsburgh Penguins in a 2016 Stanley Cup Final rematch.
