Like I said, don’t let that win over the Oilers fool you. This team still isn’t, you know, good.
Fun fact, per Natural Stat Trick, in the last period—you know, the one where the Kings should be pressing to try to get on the scoreboard—the Kings had zero high dangers chances.
Also, you can’t entirely pin this on special teams—the penalty kill actually did a good job at shutting down the Sharks’ power play—but the Kings had exactly zero power plays and took a lazy too many men penalty of their own with just over two minutes left.
