(AP) — The San Jose Sharks barely held off the Los Angeles Kings at the end for a second straight home win. Now the job gets really tough: The Sharks know they need to end the home-team dominance if they have any chance of winning this second-round series. Brent Burns got San Jose off to a fast start with a quick score and Logan Couture a...

(AP) — Joe Thornton set the tone for the San Jose Sharks with a dominant first period. After that, the Sharks did their best to hang on and tie up their playoff series against the Los Angeles Kings.

Then again, he knows nobody scores unless they shoot. "You might as well try," Penner said with a shrug. "You never know if you don't throw it on net." And with a fortunate deflection off a Blues ...

LOUIS (AP) — Oh, too casually, Jonathan Quick fiddled with the puck behind the net. Switching from backhand to forehand, last year's Stanley Cup playoffs MVP was set to re-load a Los Angeles Kings' power play that had more than three minutes left to decide overtime. Those extra seconds of stick-handling ended up giving Quick a jolt of humility. Alexan...
