SAN JOSE, Calif. – The Sharks have had a habit in recent seasons of welcoming franchise icons back to SAP Center only to send them out of town with a loss.
It was a little different Tuesday night.
On the night they welcomed back Joe Thornton, the Sharks saw Frank Vatrano score both the game-tying third period and the overtime winner in a 3-2 Florida Panthers victory before an announced crowd of 12,276.
