Joe Thornton got his 300th point as a Shark on Tuesday night, an assist that came on what turned out to be the winning goal in San Jose's 5-2 victory over the Los Angeles Kings at HP Pavilion.
Each Sharks win these days rewrites one franchise record or another. This one - in the team's 20th consecutive game without a regulation loss - set a mark for points in a season (108) and kept San Jose alive in its pursuit of Detroit for the President's Trophy, given to the team that finishes with the most points in the NHL.
But more important, players and coaches said, it keeps the Sharks on a roll that they see carrying over to the playoffs that begin next week.
