ST. LOUIS – Sharks center Joe Thornton will never forget the first multi-goal playoff game of his career.
But not because he scored twice and added an assist in the Sharks’ thrilling 5-4 overtime win over St. Louis in Game 3 of the Western Conference finals on Wednesday.
The 39-year-old future Hall of Famer was more charged up by the way his team rallied with a late goal in regulation and an extra- session winner by Erik Karlsson.
“Huge win, great comeback,” Thornton said.
Thornton turned in his biggest performance of this post-season at the perfect time.
