Watch Sharks vs Kings game four streaming online as San Jose tries to sweep the Kings in Los Angeles. San Jose has had a field day so far in the Kings vs Sharks series . The Sharks were able to put six in the net behind Jonathan Quick in game one and lit the lamp seven times in game two. Only game three in Los Angeles has been close, and the Sharks found a way to win that one 4-3 in overtime.
Kings’ net minder Jonathan Quick has always been streaky, but he couldn’t have picked a worse time to go on a cold streak. The Kings will need Quick to rebound and show the kind of playoff prowess that propelled Los Angeles to the Stanley Cup in 2012.
The San Jose Sharks are still looking for the franchise’s first Stanley Cup despite nine straight postseason appearances – the second longest active streak in the NHL behind the 23-season mark held by the Detroit Red Wings . The Sharks hope to close out the Kings vs Sharks series tonight in order to win the right to play the winner of the Ducks vs Stars series – currently tied at two games apiece. A win tonight would give the Sharks plenty of time to rest while Dallas and Anaheim slug it out.
Patrick Marleau, the consummate San Jose Shark, has been with the team his entire career – since 1997-98 – and only missed the playoffs once, but he’s ready to take the next step and drink champagne from Lord Stanley’s Cup. He scored the overtime goal in game three, his fourth career overtime goal, according to an ESPN report that quotes Marleau:
“Well, you just try to shoot it on net. This one was not a hard shot by any means, but you just get it to the net.”
The same report quotes L.A. Kings leading scorer Anze Kopitar’s response to game three:
“It was a better effort. We had some chances, but it wasn’t enough. We’re going to have to come back in a couple of days and throw everything at them.”
Kopitar has yet to find the back of the net in the Kings vs Sharks series. He’ll need to step up his game if his team wants to live to fight another day.
Make sure not to miss any of the action in tonight’s game four as the Kings fight for their playoff lives and the Sharks get out their brooms and go for the sweep. You can watch the whole game streaming online live for free here .
