LOS ANGELES — Patrick Marleau scored with 2:25 left in overtime to lift the Sharks to a 4-3 win over the Los Angeles Kings on Monday night at Staples Center.
Marleau collected a loose puck in the Kings’ end and fired it past goalie Jonathan Quick, giving the Sharks their third straight overtime win and their ninth victory in 10 games.
It never should have gotten to that point, as the Sharks couldn’t hold on to a three-goal, second period lead.
Adrian Kempe scored with 1:01 left in the second period to get the Kings on the board.
