Though his @SanJoseSharks fell 7-4 to the Wings on Thursday, Erik Karlsson factored in on every scoring play by potting 1 goal & 3 assists. Still shy of his team's 20th game, that has him owning more points than all but 5 defencemen on this list of sensational starts to a season pic.twitter.com/BPkhDQXcgu
Last night, Brent Burns recorded his 406th and 407th career assist with the Sharks and broke a tie with Joe Pavelski for third most in franchise history. pic.twitter.com/Dgo1bPttag
