LOS ANGELES – The Sharks might not be spending much time reviewing the recent playoff history between the themselves and the Kings, but they’re starting to repeat it.
They’ll just have to hope the ending this time around is a whole lot better.
San Jose jumped out to a two-games-to-none lead on Saturday at Staples Center with a 2-1 win behind goals by Joe Pavelski and Logan Couture and 27 saves from Martin Jones.
In 2014, the Sharks won the first three games of their first round series with Los Angeles before the infamous reverse sweep.
