End of second period
San Jose 2, Kings 1
It could be much, much worse for the Kings at this point. They're being outshot 31-9 and they've killed four Sharks power plays. Of course, they just allowed a shorthanded goal too, so this game is really all over the place. The Sharks look like a team that has already played a regular-season game, which it is -- the Sharks beat the Ducks on Thursday -- and the Kings look very much like a team playing its first game, which it is.

Kings are playing too much defense. They need to take more shots. Even the best defenses eventually fall.
