For a guy sitting among the NHL's top scorers, Devin Setoguchi sure sounds like someone who is taking nothing for granted. And that includes his spot on the Sharks' top line with Joe Thornton and captain Patrick Marleau.

"When you get an opportunity to play between two of the best players in the league, it's pretty exciting," Setoguchi said. "I just need to make sure I produce or otherwise I won't be there very long."

So far, so good. Setoguchi is tied with Marleau for most points (24) among the Sharks. Add in Thornton's 22 points and you have three of the league's top 20 scorers.
