Sharks activate C Joe Thornton from injured list

SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — The San Jose Sharks have activated center Joe Thornton from injured reserve.
Thornton was placed on the injured list on Oct. 7 because of swelling in his surgically repaired right knee. Thornton missed more than three weeks but will return Tuesday night when San Jose hosts the New York Rangers.
The 39-year-old Thornton is coming off his second straight year undergoing reconstructive knee surgery. He played the first two games for the Sharks and has one assist.
