by Cory Wilkins from on (#2JY3C)
San Jose Sharks forward Joe Thornton will not play in Game 1 against the Edmonton Oilers, as he remains day to day with a lower-body injury.
On Tuesday, Thornton was hopeful he'd be ready for the opening game of the series. He missed the final three games of the regular season as he dealt with the ailment.
Thornton scored seven goals and added 43 assists this season.
