The Sharks dominate and shut down the Los Angeles Kings 5-0 in the second game of a home-and-away set with their So-Cal rivals.
This was certainly a fun and entertaining one. One of the biggest aspects of this huge win was the return of Adin Hill, who recorded 29 saves and a shutout in his first start back from his stint on the IR.
San Jose opened up the scoring toward the halfway point of the first period via Timo Meier on their first power play opportunity, with Brent Burns and Nick Bonino assisting on the play. A few minutes later, Matt Nieto extends the Sharks' lead to two in his 300th NHL game, with Nick Bonino picking up his second assist of the game. Towards the end of the first period, Jonathan Dahlen makes it 3-0, getting an assist from Timo Meier.
The Sharks took further advantage of the Kings losing more players to injury, as Tomas Hertl added two more goals in this one-sided affair, one in the second and another in the third. Timo Meier added another apple for a total of three points on the night, while Logan Couture, Rudolfs Balcers, and Alexander Barabanov each recorded assists in the second and third periods.
In other news, Ryan Dzingel and Alex Stalock were both reassigned to the Barracuda before Saturday's game against the Kings.
As of late, the Sharks own the LA Kings, and I couldn't be happier with that. I want this kind of domination to continue for as long as possible. Next up, the Sharks host the Florida Panthers in Jumbo Joe Thornton's return to SAP Center on Tuesday at 7:30 pm PT, which will be televised exclusively on ESPN+ and Hulu.
