SAN JOSE — Joe Thornton says there’s “no doubt” that he’ll be in the Sharks lineup Saturday night.
This time, he’s telling the truth.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Thornton will make his return to game action when the Sharks host the Arizona Coyotes at the SAP Center. Thornton will be suiting up just a little more than five months after he underwent surgery to repair the anterior and medial collateral ligaments in his left knee on April 24.
