Joe Thornton returns in Game 3 loss
by from on (#2KAJ7)
Joe Thornton returned to San Jose's lineup for Game 3 against the Edmonton Oilers on Sunday, skating in his first game of the postseason.
Thornton suffered a lower-body injury April 2 versus the Vancouver Canucks. The ailment kept him out of the lineup for the final three games of the regular season, along with the first two games of the opening round against the Oilers.
The Oilers took a 1-0 decision in Game 3, as the Sharks have dropped two straight - without scoring a goal - since a 3-2 overtime win in Game 1.
Thornton played 16:27 over 21 shifts.
