The latest
Sharks: The Sharks increased their point-streak to nine games (7-0-2), but missed an opportunity to draw closer to the first place Kings on Sunday night in a 3-2 overtime loss in which they gave up the game-tying goal with 12.2 seconds to go. This is their final action before the All-Star break, with a four-game, nine-day road trip beginning in Anaheim in one week.
