Quick Bites: Labanc cashes in with hat trick

Another dominant win by the Sharks. The 5-2 win over the Edmonton Oilers makes it five straight for team teal and they’re starting to get closer to the top of the Western Conference standings.

Let’s kick things off with the milestones, because there were a few of them last night. Not to play down Kevin Labanc’s first ever career hat trick, but Joe Thornton is now tied with Gordie Howe for all-time assists. Jumbo has helped out on 1,049 goals in his career, including two last night. Stanley Cup or no, Thornton is most definitely a first ballot Hall of Famer.
