San Jose Sharks center Joe Thornton may be 36 years old but he remains one of the NHL's most dominant offensive players.
With at least one point in 32 of his past 40 games, Thornton leads the NHL with 51 points since Dec. 15. During that three-month run, he has helped San Jose go 25-10-5, third-best in the League during that period. In doing so, the Sharks have joined a tight race with the Los Angeles Kings and Anaheim Ducks for the Pacific Division lead.
Thornton has 67 points in 69 games this season, No. 8 in the NHL and No. 1 among the Sharks.
