"It's frustrating, having one of the best games you have played this year, only to fall short in the final seconds of the game. Head Coach Ryan Warsofsky held his head high before facing the media. The San Jose Sharks were so close, yet fell to the Los Angeles Kings 4-3 in regulation. The Sharks outshot the Kings 40-14 and had 44 scoring chances to the Kings' 13, according to Natural Stat Trick, but the score simply didn't end up in San Jose's favor."
"The puck hit the ice at 8:14 on Tuesday night, and the Kings won the opening faceoff. And off the five-minute jump, Yaroslav Askarov was holding very strong. The Kings are a team that keeps puck control well, but the Sharks' defense was holding strong with two blocked shots and solid saves by Askarov. The Sharks were almost able to set up a solid shot with the Wennberg-William Eklund-Philipp Kurashev line, but it resulted in a Kings' power play."
"However, the defense really showed through during the penalty, keeping the puck away until one second after Liljegren got back on the ice. With accidental help from Dmitry Orlov and assists from Alex Leferriere, Brandt Clarke and Corey Perry were able to slide one past Askarov. Following this, Sam Dickinson was benched for the remainder of the period. William Eklund was looking on top of things; he was moving the puck well and was very alert."
