SAN JOSE, Calif. -- One season after bottoming out in February on the way to missing the playoffs for the first time since 2003, the San Jose Sharks are heading into the stretch run with perhaps their deepest team in years and realistic hopes of making a postseason run.
Joe Pavelski and Joe Thornton each had three points to key a dominant performance from San Jose's top line, and the Sharks beat the Montreal Canadiens 6-2 on Monday night for their sixth victory in the past seven meetings between the teams.
