Douglas Murray brings an unquestionable presence to the Sharks blueline. The 6-3, 240 pound native of Sweden has layed out some of the heaviest, bone crushing hits throughout his seven years in San Jose. This past season was no different as Murray paced the Sharks with 126 hits. Murray also set a Sharks franchise record for most hits registered in a single regular season game, with 10.

The value of a Marty Havlat in the lineup for the Sharks cannot be undervalued. In 2011-12, the dynamic playmaker missed 39 straight games after suffering a lower body injury on Dec. 21. While Havlat recovered on the Injured Reserve, the Sharks suffered their worst team performance of the season. Contrastingly, when having a healthy Havlat in the lineup, the Sharks were 25-11-3. Havlat also stole the show in a couple of key games for San Jose after returning from injury, including his two-goal performance in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Quarterfinals versus St. Louis. The veteran winger also tied a franchise record during his first season in teal when he recorded at least one assist in each of his first four games with the Sharks.

Sharks defenseman Marc-Edouard Vlasic has steadily put together a consistently good start to his career. The man nicknamed "Pickles" will begin his seventh season in teal, fresh after signing a five-year extension to his current contract. Vlasic can consider it a reward for having, perhaps, his best season along the Sharks blueline just last year. Most notably in 2011-12, the defensive defenseman led his team in blocked shots and finished 12th in the league in the same category.

Tuesday Trivia is a weekly feature of the Daily Chomp. Check back next week for a new question and prize.

Sharks alternate captain Ryane Clowe plays a style of hockey that defines a power forward. In 2011-12, Clowe finished sixth on the team in points (17-28=45) and first on the team in penalty minutes (97). In nearly 400 career NHL games, the Newfoundland native has 260 points paired with 488 penalty minutes. Surely any player with those type of credentials is likely to record the exclusive Gordie Howe Hat Trick and Clowe has done so three times. For his third Gordie Howe Hat Trick, Clowe scored a goal, added an assist, and logged two fighting majors versus the Los Angeles Kings.

TRIVIA: Who is the only other player in Sharks history to record two fighting majors on their way to a Gordie Howe Hat Trick?
