SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP)—Joe Pavelski(notes) entered the postseason for the San Jose Sharks with the nickname “Little Joe,” which made sense considering he played on the same team as Jumbo Joe Thornton(notes).

With seven goals in seven playoff games, the Sharks’ 5-foot-11 forward is now being called the “Big Pavelski.”

“If you followed the team and watched his play, he’s been pretty inspirational and scored some pretty big goals,” coach Todd McLellan said. “He found a way to make an impact on the game. That’s what the playoffs are all about. You have to raise your level a little bit and find a way to leave your mark on the game every night.”

Pavelski has done just that this month. After scoring five goals to lead the Sharks past Colorado in six games in the first round, Pavelski scored the first goal and the eventual game-winner in San Jose’s 4-3 victory over Detroit to open the second round Thursday night.
