In San Jose, Martin Frk struck for two goals in the third period to rally the Los Angeles Kings back from an 0-2 deficit to the Sharks.
Jeff Carter finished off the rally with a goal in extra time to give the Kings the 3-2 win.
“I got lucky,” Frk said. “I was twice in a good spot and it went in so I’m really happy for that. [I] couldn’t ask for anything better.”
Jack Campbell made 22 saves.
“Nice to see Marty Frk come up and contribute and use his tools,” Kings head coach Todd McLellan said. ” That shot that he has, and the ability to find ice was real important. And a good, aggressive play in overtime got us the win.”
Joe Thornton and Erik Karlsson staked the Sharks to the 2-0 lead.
“We have a good group of guys in here,” Karlsson said. “We have a good hockey team. We should be a good hockey team. We’re not a good hockey team right now.”

Aaron Dell made 35 saves in the loss.
“We have to have a playoff mentality,” the Sharks’ Patrick Marleau said. “We’re on the outside looking in, and we’ve got to win games. We need a short memory and get ready for tomorrow night’s game (against the Philadelphia Flyers).”
