RALEIGH, N.C. — Joe Thornton can still bring the right hand. Just ask Carolina Hurricanes goalie Petr Mrazek.

In Thursday’s game at PNC Arena between the Sharks and Hurriucanes, Mrazek froze the puck at the 12:50 mark of the second period. Feeling Mrazek hadn’t fully covered it, Thornton took a jab at the puck with his stick.

Mzarek didn’t like that, and swung his stick at Thornton before he got up. Thornton responded with a sharp right hand that decked the Hurricanes goalie.
