Sharks 2, Kings 1

Less than three minutes after they took the lead, the Kings trailed.

San Jose tied the game with 4:36 remaining in the second period, on a counterattack. Ryane Clowe picked up the puck deep in his own zone, skated it into the Kings’ zone and beat Quick with a long-range wrist shot, to the high corner, to tie the game just 1:51 after Smyth’s goal.

The Sharks then took the lead 39 seconds later. Quick attempted to play the puck behind his net, but lost it to Devin Setoguchi. Setoguchi got off a wraparound shot, and Quick stopped the puck initially before it trickled past him as the Sharks took a 2-1 lead with 3:57 remaining in the second period.
