Star Power (play): How the Sharks might make the pieces fit together

SAN JOSE — Brent Burns and Erik Karlsson on the blue line, Joe Thornton in the middle and Logan Couture and Joe Pavelski on the wings.

Yes, the Sharks’ have a little bit of star power on what figures to be their first power play unit.

Before the doors opened at SAP Center to a few thousand people for their annual FanFest, the Sharks on Sunday morning spent part of their up-tempo 50-minute practice working on special teams for the time in training camp.

As expected, the power play featured Karlsson and Burns on the back end, Thornton taking draws on the left side, Pavelski on the right side, and Couture mostly on the left wing — five players with a combined 300 goals and 732 assists in the regular season for their NHL careers.
