Marleau, Lecavalier highlight Sharks, LA Kings depth

I think he’s been rejuvenated. There’s some confidence put back in his game, and he’s played hard and played well.

SAN JOSE -- Their best days are probably in the rear view mirror, but veterans Patrick Marleau and Vincent Lecavalier figure to play prominent roles in the postseason.

Each will begin Game 1 on Thursday as his team’s respective third line center. Depth is always vital in a long playoff series, which is what Sharks-Kings figures to be, and the two will likely see plenty of one another head-to-head.

The 35-year-old Marleau posted a respectable 25 goals and 48 points this season while suiting up for all 82 games.
