Rookie Matt Carle scored the go-ahead goal on a pass from Joe Thornton with 8:36 left, and the San Jose Sharks eliminated Vancouver from playoff contention with their franchise-record seventh straight victory, 5-3 over the Canucks on Thursday night.

Thornton tied Jaromir Jagr for the NHL scoring lead with three assists, giving him 122 points in his spectacular season since joining the Sharks in a trade with Boston.

In two magical back-to-back nights, Joe Thornton took a share of the NHL scoring lead, just about singlehandedly set the West's eight-team playoff field and ended the Vancouver Canucks' postseason hopes.

Afterward, he was ready to contemplate even bigger things - not for himself, but for his San Jose Sharks, who are headed to the postseason with all the momentum Thornton can gather.

GAME: Los Angeles Kings (41-35-5) at San Jose Sharks (44-26-11).

TIME: Monday, 10:30 p.m. EDT.

The San Jose Sharks look to continue their roll into the postseason when they host the Los Angeles Kings in the final game of Kings forward Luc Robitaille's outstanding career.

Robitaille, who announced his retirement last week, has 668 goals, the most in NHL history for a left wing. He's scored 557 of those for the Kings, a team record, and his 1,394 points are 19th on the NHL career list.

GAME: San Jose Sharks (41-26-11) at Vancouver Canucks (41-31-7).

San Jose has won five in a row to move four points ahead of ninth-place Vancouver, which concludes its season at home against Colorado on April 15 following this home-and-home set with the Sharks.

Joe Thornton finds his teammates when they have the best angle to shoot and gives them the puck at the split second they're open.

He's been doing it since joining the San Jose Sharks nearly four months ago. It's a reason they're back in the Western Conference playoff picture.

Thornton got the puck to Tom Preissing, who scored the winner 1:24 into overtime Sunday night with a slapper from the high slot as the Sharks beat the Chicago Blackhawks 5-4.

Mark Hartigan broke a scoring drought with his second goal, and Manny Malhotra added an empty-netter to stretch his goal streak to three games. David Vyborny had two assists.

Steve Bernier had the goal for San Jose.

The Columbus Blue Jackets aren't playing for a playoff spot. They want one next year, though.

Rick Nash scored two goals and the Blue Jackets tied the franchise record for wins by beating the San Jose Sharks 4-1 on Tuesday night.

"It's a lot easier to come, show up and go through the motions but we're playing for something," Nash said. "It was a slow start this year but we're trying to build a lot of momentum right now and gain some chemistry for the start of next season.
