Thornton leads way as Sharks dump Avalanche 5-2 Game 1 Globe_Sports
San Jose Sharks' Marcus Sorensen , Joakim Ryan and Joe Thornton celebrate with Kevin Labanc who scored goal against the Colorado Avalanche in the second period of Game 1. The Sharks won 5-2.Joe Thornton sparked a three-goal outburst in the second period after San Jose killed off a four-minute penalty, leading the Sharks to a 5-2 victory over the Colorado Avalanche in Game 1 of their second-round playoff series on Friday night.
Thornton tied it midway through the period off a feed from Marcus Sorensen on a 2-on-1 rush shortly after the penalty was killed. Kevin Labanc, the third member of that line, gave the Sharks the lead with an impressive sequence that featured him deking Mikko Rantanen by playing the puck through his legs before scoring from the slot.Brent Burns added the fourth goal late in the period when his shot from the boards deflected past Philipp Grubauer with Sorensen in front of the net.
The intensity in the Shark Tank had dropped a bit from Tuesday night, when San Jose rallied from three goals down in the third period before winning Game 7 in overtime against Vegas. The impact of the reduced rest was felt as captain Joe Pavelski remained sidelined from his concussion in Game 7 and fellow forward Joonas Donskoi remained sidelined from a hard hit in Game 6.The Avalanche had the edge early and capitalized with Bourque’s goal on a rebound of Cale Makar’s shot just 2:10 into the game.
