Call it a reset.

Following a healthy scratch on Jan. 5, in which high-priced sniper Mikkel Boedker got to watch his team from the stands, the Danish winger has come back with a vengeance.

In the 14 games since, Boedker's production has more than tripled what he put up through the season's early goings, his first year in San Jose.

The struggle was real. With single-digit points in nearly half the season, Boedker's big-money contract looked like an even bigger mistake by Sharks general manager Doug Wilson after he signed the winger to a four-year, $16-million pact in the offseason.

Things were so bad that Boedker's name was floated as a possibility for the Vegas expansion draft, which would mark his fourth team in just over a year. Boedker was drafted by the Arizona Coyotes in 2008 and spent his career in the desert until a trade to the Colorado Avalanche last February.

But in signing in San Jose, Boekder reunited with coach Peter DeBoer, who was behind the bench for his one season with the OHL's Kitchener Rangers. That year, Boedker finished second in team scoring with 73 points in 63 games.

The two appear to have rediscovered that chemistry.

"That's what we need from him," DeBoer said after Boedker scored a hat trick against the Edmonton Oilers on Jan. 10. "These type of games were coming. He just took his foot off the gas for a couple days and got it back. He's in for a big second half. We need him."

In recent days, Boedker has seemingly found that comfort, lined up with center Logan Couture and veteran Patrick Marleau. The three have combined for 22 points in the past six games.

No doubt DeBoer and Sharks fans alike hope the trio can keep up that sort of production.
