The San Jose Sharks proved they are much more than just Joe Thornton, Patrick Marleau, Joe Pavelski and a handful of other stars. The secondary players led by talented Finnish rookie Joonas Donskoi's two goals delivered the bulk of the scoring in San Jose's 6-3 victory Friday night over the nemesis Los Angeles Kings, which sent the Sharks to the second round of the playoffs for just the second time since 2011. After memorably blowing a 3-0 first-round series lead to Los Angeles two years ago and missing the playoffs entirely last season, the Sharks might finally have all the ingredients to make the long playoff run that has eluded them during a decade of regular-season success led by stars like Thornton and Marleau.
