VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) — Tomas Hertl scored twice in the first period and Martin Jones made 29 saves as the San Jose Sharks beat the Vancouver Canucks 3-1 Sunday after losing Joe Thornton to an apparent injury to his left leg.

Patrick Marleau scored an empty-netter and Jannik Hansen picked up an assist in his return to Vancouver for the Sharks, who have won 11 straight regular-season games at Rogers Arena dating back to Jan. 21, 2012.

Sven Baertschi scored for the Canucks and Ryan Miller finished with 22 saves.

Already missing center Logan Couture because of a facial injury, Thornton crumpled to the ice with about three minutes left in the first when he ran into Vancouver forward Michael Chaput from behind. The 37-year-old managed to get to the San Jose bench under his own power, but couldn’t put any weight on his left leg and had to be helped to the locker room.
