gold star for USAHOF

39. Joe Pavelski

39. Joe Pavelski

In 2019, Joe Pavelski arrived as a Free Agent after spending 13 seasons in a San Jose Sharks uniform.  It was expected that the veteran would slow down, and in his first season, he scored only 31 Points in 67 Games, but in the playoffs, he became the first Star to record a hat trick.

Pavelski has been great for Dallas since, capped with a career-high 81 Points in 2012-22, followed by a 77-point year, his third-best season total.  He played one more season with the Stars, scoring 67 Points and helping them reach the Western Conference Finals, and that would end his hockey run.  Days after he turned 40, Pavelski retired, even though he still appeared to have plenty left in the tank.
