Lot of action
OK, first there was a fight between Raitis Ivanans and Brad Norton. They measured each other out for so long that it didn't look like anything was going to happen. But then they went at it with a flurry of punches. Looked like Ivanans got the better of it. He wrestled Norton to the ice and threw a couple more punches while he was down. Norton got up bloodied.
Thirteen seconds later, Brady Murray tipped in a beautiful pass from Anze Kopitar. But it only took the Sharks another 19 seconds to get back within one when Graham Mink jammed a rebound between Cloutier's legs. 5-4 Kings 12:33 left.

Is Lauri Tukonen playing tonight???
I thought he was on the roster....
What happened to Cammy? Noticed he was not on the ice in the 3rd.
Tukonen is playing. According to nhl.com's scoresheet he's a +1.
Nick and Daryl just mentioned not seeing Cammalleri for OT or the 3rd.
It's preseason. Cammy is benched so the coaches can see the young guys.
