San Jose played two games away, suffering crushing defeats to Arizona (2:5 and 4:0). Both goalkeepers Jones and Dubnik were not the most reliable. It is also worth noting that the game was not the best in defense in general, as the team allowed the opponent to create too many dangerous chances. Returning to their home arena, the Sharks faced Minnesota and unexpectedly managed to gain the upper hand (4:3). The defender Karlsson became the best player with a double. “Sharks” continue to be on the penultimate line in the table of the Western Division with 32 points on the account.
Los Angeles continue to lose in every match. The losing streak again reached three matches in which the team failed twice against San Jose (1:2 and 2:4) and also failed to impose the fight on Vegas (1:4). In the match against Golden Knights goalkeeper Quick was not the most reliable, reflecting only 83% of shots. Worst of all, the Kings show themselves on the road, where it is impossible to earn points in five games in a row. The main problem of the Kings at the moment is their weak performance, which is why the club may soon drop to the seventh spot in the Western Division standings.
