The San Jose Sharks and Los Angeles Kings played an even, straight up hockey game in Game 3 as neither team conceded an inch. At even strength, the Sharks have been the better team through the first three contests, even though the Kings resembled the stifling defensive unit they’ve been known for.
Despite that, San Jose has outscored L.A. by a 5-2 margin at even strength including surrendering just 14 shots at 5-on-5 last night, although the Kings were able to find the game-winner from Tanner Pearson early in overtime.
