He's back.
Center Joe Thornton will suit up for the Sharks on Tuesday at SAP Center against the visiting New York Rangers. It's his first game in almost a month, and the Sharks went 5-3-1 in his absence.
Thornton has scored four points in his last four games against the Rangers, and 36 in 39 overall versus the Blueshirts. That could be bad news for a struggling Rangers team that's lost four out of their last five games.
