Thornton passes Kurri for 20th on all-time points list

Patrick Marleau was the man of the hour in San Jose Monday night, but his longtime former teammate made some history.

Joe Thornton moved past Jari Kurri for 20th on the NHL's all-time points list with a secondary assist on Joe Pavelski's game-tying goal against the Toronto Maple Leafs in the second period.

It was the 1,399th point of Thornton's career.

The 38-year-old forward originally tied Kurri with an assist Oct. 23, but the helper was later taken away. He tied him again with a goal against the Boston Bruins on Thursday.
