SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Tanner Pearson scored 3:47 into overtime and the Los Angeles Kings bounced back from a pair of series-opening losses at home to beat the San Jose Sharks 2-1 in Game 3 in the first round Monday night.
Anze Kopitar added a power-play goal, Jonathan Quick made 29 saves and Los Angeles killed two third-period penalties to cut San Jose's lead in the series to 2-1.
Game 4 is Wednesday night in San Jose.
Joe Thornton scored 30 seconds into the game for the Sharks, but San Jose couldn't get anything else by Quick as their regular-season pattern of road dominance and home struggles extended to the playoffs.
