SJHN Daily: Scout Says Celebrini Best Rookie in NHL, Legends Game Highlights

The night before Joe Thornton’s number was hung high in the SAP Center’s rafters, the San Jose Sharks hosted a Legends Game in his honor.

Here are some of the highlights from a fun night!

Thornton started on Team Teal, getting a secondary assist on their first goal. He then got credited with an unconventional tertiary assist on the next two goals, quickly getting Team Teal out to a 3-1 lead. Basically, he was given a secondary assist on every goal, whether or not he was on the ice. Eventually, he scored one of his own off of an assist from Joe Pavelski.

Evgeni Nabokov showed that he’s still got it over the course of the night, making some big saves.

Once Team Teal took a 5-2 lead, Thornton switched sides in an attempt to help make a comeback. Team White tied it up, forcing a shootout where Pavelski won it for Team Teal.

For Teal, Ryane Clowe, Tommy Wingels, Mike Ricci, Thornton, and Mike Brown scored.

Raffi Torres, Devin Setoguchi, Scott Hannan, Marleau, and Semenov scored for White.
