SAN JOSE – On the day he was named the Sharks’ ninth captain, Joe Pavelski was clear in expressing that he didn’t plan on changing much of anything. The 31-year-old would keep on doing the same things that turned him from a former seventh round pick into one of the NHL’s premier goal scorers.
Still, when the Sharks took the ice on Oct. 7 in Los Angeles, kicking off a season that they hoped would provide redemption from the fiasco of 2014-15, it was a new experience for Pavelski to be skating with the ‘C’ stitched on to his sweater.
