Report: Pavelski meets with Stars, Lightning

Joe Pavelski apparently has no shortage of suitors now that the free-agency interview period is underway.

The San Jose Sharks captain had a meeting with the Dallas Stars at their practice facility Wednesday, reports The Athletic's Sean Shapiro. He also got a tour of the Dallas-Fort Worth area to get an idea of whether it would be a fit for his family.

Pavelski then met with the Lightning in Tampa Bay on Wednesday night, according to TSN's Pierre LeBrun.

The veteran forward is a pending unrestricted free agent who'll turn 35 on July 11.

The Minnesota Wild and Arizona Coyotes have also reportedly been in touch with the veteran forward's camp.

Pavelski poured in 38 goals and collected 64 points in 2018-19, his 13th season with the Sharks. He's spent his entire career with San Jose, which drafted him 205th overall in 2003.
