Doesn’t it seem like we’ve seen this matchup a hundred times already? I love you, Martin Jones, but I think I’m ready for some more distance.
Fortunately, this is the last meeting of the Sharks and Kings for the regular season, so I can go back to having a slightly less fraught sort of love for Jones, at least for now. Tonight, though, we’re still enemies.
The Kings are 2-2 against the Sharks this season and are looking to cap off the season series with a win. Anze Kopitar returns tonight from an illness, putting the lines back into a far more familiar shape.
