Kings vs. Sharks Game 3 update: Sharks head to overtime with huge opportunity
San Jose will have a lengthy 5-on-3 as overtime begins in Game 3.
Los Angeles had their best offensive period of the game in the final frame, testing Antti Niemi multiple times with good scoring chances. Slava Voynov nearly got a fluttering shot through Niemi from distance midway through the period, but the Sharks quickly cleared the rebound. San Jose is outshooting Los Angeles 38-27, and the 1-1 score is a testament to the brilliant netminding at both ends.
The final few minutes of the third might cost L.A. Robyn Regehr was called for hooking at 19:18, and Trevor Lewis was called for goaltender interference on this shorthanded chance with five seconds left in regulation.
San Jose will have 1:19 of 5-on-3 to work with in overtime.
