Patrick Marleau: ‘The door’s open’ for (another) return to the Sharks

SAN JOSE — Patrick Marleau made no bones about it: After he finishes this year with the Pittsburgh Penguins, he would like to play another season and return to the Sharks — for a third time — in the fall.

“Yeah, I think the door’s open maybe to come back,” Marleau said Saturday before the Sharks hosted the Penguins. “I definitely would like to play another season, so that would be good.”

With another healthy season, Marleau would become the NHL’s all-time leader in games played, passing record holder Gordie Howe, who played in 1,767 games.
