NHL forward Joe Pavelski during pregame warmup at the Sharks @ Senators game in Ottawa on October 27, 2013. Pavelski was drafted by the San Jose Sharks in the 7th round, 205th overall. Pavelski began his NHL career in the 2006–07 season. He began on a hot streak, scoring a goal in his first game, and scoring a total 7 goals and 10 points in his first 12 games. Pavelski earned the sobriquet “Little Joe” from Sharks announcer Randy Hahn, a reference to Pavelski’s teammate and San Jose superstar “Jumbo Joe”, Joe Thornton.
