If Joe Thornton decides to follow up his storied NHL career with a pivot to acting, we may have just found the perfect stand-in.

A Jumbo look-alike surfaced in Vancouver, where Thornton and the San Jose Sharks took on the Canucks Saturday night. The man, clad in a Sharks home jersey, had fans doing double takes.
One fan at the game, clad in a retro Canucks jersey, held up a sign that read "This guy looks like Joe Thornton." The Sharks shared a photo of the two on their official Twitter account.

Just for comparison, the team took to Instagram to put up a side-by-side comparison.
