NHL: Dallas Stars’ Joe Pavelski, a San Jose Sharks seventh-round draft in 2003, is playing in his 1,214th game Wednesday.
SAN JOSE – Dallas Stars forward Joe Pavelski joked Wednesday he might come back and play in the Sharks’ alumni game on Feb. 24, the night before the organization retires Patrick Marleau’s No. 12 jersey.
The only other 35-and-older NHL players who were inside the top 40 in scoring before Wednesday were Hockey Hall of Fame-bound players Alex Ovechkin and Sidney Crosby . “I think I understood early in my career, being around and and all those guys, that if you want to make a career out of it, do as much as you can to stay here as long as you can, and then just want more,” Pavelski said.
DeBoer, the Sharks’ coach from May 2015 to Dec. 2019, was hired by the Stars on June 22, just over five weeks after he was fired by the Vegas Golden Knights on May 16.Winger Kevin Labanc was scratched for the second straight game Wednesday as Sharks coach David Quinn kept the same forward lines he had from Monday, a 4-3 shootout loss to the New Jersey Devils.
“From some of the conversations we’ve had, he feels like he’s playing a little bit better than we do,” Quinn said this week of Labanc. “It’s the player valuing everything that we value, is really what it comes down to from an individual standpoint.
