The LA Kings let the Sharks score the game-tying goal late in the final frame in the third period before falling short of San Jose in overtime on Jan. 7.
While being shorthanded on the active forward lines on Wednesday night (Jan. 7), the Los Angeles Kings (18-14-10) and head coach Jim Hiller didn't get two points in the standings in the West in the Pacific Division against the San Jose Sharks (21-18-3) on home ice. The Kings were missing four forwards in the active roster lineup, including center captain Anze Kopitar and winger Joel Armia, due to various injury issues, among other reasons.
