60 IS NOT ENOUGH
Seven of 10 games contested on Thursday required extra time.

THORNTON NOTCHES THREE POINTS TO CLIMB ALL-TIME POINTS LIST
Sharks forward Joe Thornton collected 2-1—3 to help San Jose extend its home point streak to six games (4-0-2). In doing so, Thornton (391-1,025—1,416) leapfrogged Doug Gilmour (450-964—1,414) for sole possession of 18th place on the NHL’s all-time points list.

HITCHCOCK REACHES 800-WIN MILESTONE
Tyler Seguin scored twice and Ben Bishop turned aside all 24 shots he faced to help Stars head coach Ken Hitchcock earn his 800th career win behind an NHL bench. Hitchcock became the third head coach in NHL history to earn 800 career regular-season wins.

BROWN REACHES 1,000-GAME MILESTONE
After the Kings honored forward Marian Gaborik for recently reaching the 1,000-game milestone, teammate Dustin Brown scored the overtime goal while skating in the 1,000th game of his NHL career.

Brown became the 317th player in NHL history to play in 1,000 career regular-season games. Only two other players have skated in at least 1,000 career games with the Kings – Dave Taylor (1,111 GP) and Luc Robitaille (1,077 GP).

LINDHOLM COMPLETES HAT TRICK WITH OVERTIME GOAL
Rickard Rackell tied the game with 1:15 remaining in regulation and Hampus Lindholm (3-0—3) completed his first career hat trick with 57 seconds left in overtime – with an assist from Ryan Getzlaf (0-4—4) – to help the Ducks snap a three-game slide (0-2-1).

Lindholm became the second defenseman in franchise history to score a hat trick, joining Lubomir Visnovsky who did so on March 4, 2011 vs. DAL. Like Lindholm, Visnovsky also scored his third goal of that contest in overtime. Since the five-minute overtime period was introduced in 1983-84, only three other NHL defensemen have achieved the feat.
