SAN JOSE –- There are a number of position-by-position comparisons to be made when looking at the respective rosters of the Sharks and Kings.
There are the sizeable, talented Selke Trophy-candidates centering the top lines in Joe Thornton and Anze Kopitar. Wingers Joe Pavelski and Tyler Toffoli are natural goal scorers. Second line centers Logan Couture and Jeff Carter are skilled playmakers that can also put the puck in the net. Joel Ward and Milan Lucic bring size and ruggedness, while each reaching the 20-goal plateau. Jonathan Quick and Martin Jones put up similar stats in goal.
On defense, there are Brent Burns and Drew Doughty.
