Sharks' Joe Thornton: Dishing as prolifically as ever

Thornton handed out a pair of primary assists and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Islanders.

Analysis:

It was just another day at the office for Jumbo Joe, who's racked up five assists in four games to open the season. Yeah, he's 37, but Thornton is coming off his best season in years and looks determined to turn in yet another star-quality campaign as he continues burnishing his Hall of Fame credentials.
