Tomas Hertl – Joe Thornton – Joe Pavelski: A
It’s tough to neutralize a Los Angeles Kings line led by Anze Kopitar, but these three did the best you could ask, combining for 11 points and a plus-eight rating. Pavelski had six points in the series, and Thornton continued dishing the puck at a high rate, notching three assists. Additionally, Pavelski and Thornton were two of the lone bright spots in the face-off circle, each winning over 50 percent of their draws. This line produced at least a point in every game of the series, and is the main reason the Sharks are where they are.
