Jeremy Roenick joined the San Jose Sharks ahead of the 2007–08 season, bringing veteran leadership and playoff savvy to the lineup. In Game 7 of the Conference Quarterfinals against Calgary, Roenick turned back the clock with a four-point night—scoring twice and adding two assists to lead the Sharks to a 5–3 win. After tying the game earlier in the second period, he struck again minutes later by burying his own rebound from the left circle for the go-ahead goal, giving San Jose a lead they never gave up.
