SAN JOSE — It would be tough to imagine the Sharks’ lineup without Patrick Marleau right now, wouldn’t it?
In just two games, he’s become the difference-maker the Sharks have needed.
Marleau once again skated on the top line Sunday in the Sharks’ 3-1 win over the Calgary Flames. He assisted on Timo Meier’s first period goal and helped the second power play unit create a handful of chances. He’s helped to stabilize the Sharks’ forward lines and given an emotional lift to his teammates.
