San Jose Sharks at Los Angeles Kings Preview: Everything to gain

The San Jose Sharks take on the Los Angeles Kings in a three-game series in the next week. The Kings are in prime position to make the playoffs. San Francisco is six games from the March 21 trade deadline. Since winning the Stanley Cup in 2014, the Kings have retained their core of players. San Franke won the last time they met 6-2. They are polar reflections of what a ‘retooling, not rebuilding’ phase looks like. Both teams have been rebuilding since their most recent successful seasons. Los Angles won a Cup, while San Fransisco is without one in their 31-year history.

The San Jose Sharks are playing against the Los Angeles Kings. The Sharks have everything to gain from the game. Los Alesh Kings are two years older and have a better team. San Francisco Sharks' future is in the hands of their young players.

The San Jose Sharks are having a disappointing season. Erik Karlsson believes the team will improve next year. The Sharks play the Los Angeles Kings on Saturday.   The team is going to play to win. They are going down the stretch without many wins to show. Los. Angeles. Kings. San. Jose are playing to gain a point.

James Reimer is out injured and Adin Hill is still out. Alex Stalock and Zach Sawchenko are the only goalkeepers available for San Jose Sharks. They can't hang their goalies out to dry like they did against the Nashville Predators back on March 5.

Karlsson is available to play after a month out due to arm surgery. Jonathan Dahlen and Jaycob Megna could also play. Timo Meier and other Sharks' rookies are due for a goal.

Ryan Merkley and Erik Karlsson will be good for a +1 in a close 3-2 win for San Jose Sharks.
