Hansen records 1st point with Sharks with assist on Thornton snipe

Jannik Hansen is feeling the California love.

In his first game with the San Jose Sharks since being acquired from Vancouver prior to the trade deadline, the winger - who was given an opportunity to start on the top line - made an immediate impression by assisting on a relatively rare goal by Joe Thornton.

The point was Hansen's 14th in 29 games this season.
