SAN JOSE -- Injured San Jose Sharks center Joe Thornton wants to take the warmup prior to Game 3 of the Western Conference First Round against the Edmonton Oilers on Sunday (10 p.m.; NBCSN, TVA Sports, SN, NBCS CA) but will check with coach Pete DeBoer first.
"After yesterday with the day off, I wanted to do something light and just kind of feel a little bit fresher today," Thornton said. "So hopefully it responds good and I'll be able to play tonight."
