LOS ANGELES – The Sharks’ lineup for Game 2 will remain the same, but the Kings will be making two possible alterations headed into the crucial matchup on Saturday at Staples Center, as San Jose attempts to take a commanding two-games-to-none lead on its chief rival.
Alec Martinez is almost certainly out on the blue line after he left in the second period of Game 1 and did not return. He didn’t skate on Saturday, and didn’t even have a locker stall in the Kings’ dressing room anymore.
That means Jamie McBain, who has 345 games of NHL experience, will suit up for his first career playoff game.
