SAN JOSE — The Sharks’ scrimmage Sunday at their practice facility gave everyone a glimpse at some of the more promising prospects in the team’s system in a game-like setting.
Still, the main attraction had to be Joe Thornton, who received a loud cheer when he first stepped on the ice before he skated on a line with Joe Pavelski and Evander Kane over two 25-minute periods.
It was difficult — particularly in the early going — for either the white team the teal team to sustain much of an offensive rhythm. But Thornton, on the teal team, skated without any issues and said he felt fine as he continues to refine parts of his game in the early days of training camp.
