Third Period
20:00 \u2013 Third period has begun in San Jose.
14:44 \u2013 Feel that Kenny Connors really raised his level in the final two periods. Think he\u2019ll be frustrated with his night, had a couple of looks and hasn\u2019t gotten one to go. Overall, though, think we\u2019ve seen a lot more from him in the final 40.
10:00 \u2013 Interesting night for Adam Goljer. I\u2019m intregued. He\u2019s made several good plays in 1-on-1 defending and he\u2019s very willing to let it fly from the point. Was also in the mix on a couple of the first period goals against. He\u2019s 18 and has a long runway ahead of him. Some things to like in his game and others that should get better with experience and refinement.
8:47 \u2013 SJ Goal \u2013 Think that\u2019s the fourth deflection goal of the night? Stenberg gets credit for it, nice ovation from the fans in San Jose for the second-overall pick
8:22 \u2013 SJ Goal \u2013 Chernyshov to Stenberg for a 2-on-1 goal in transition. There\u2019s some NHL-level ability in that move. Sharks putting on a bit of a clinic offensively and the Kings take their medicine. 7-1 San Jose.
6:26 \u2013 Jared Woolley and Quentin Musty drop the gloves at center ice, not long after Chernyshov and Brzustewicz were ejected from the game following the seventh San Jose goal. Musty fought Brzustewicz at last season\u2019s tournament if I recall.<\/p>\n
Second Period
20:00 \u2013 Second period is a go, Kings down by three as we get back underway.
15:00 \u2013 Kings obviously had their defensive issues in the first period, but Kirsanov\/Brzustewicz pairing was not really involved in those. Think they\u2019ve had a nice night so far actually. They should be the team\u2019s best pairing and they have been, by far.
13:48 \u2013 Jack Hughes has made some plays tonight. Thought he had a very good postseason in Ontario last year on an AHL contract. He\u2019s crafty and makes effective, short passes. good on him for the way he\u2019s approached signing an AHL contract as a second-round pick. Know he\u2019s earned some internal support with how he has played.
9:24 \u2013 Feels like every other shift the Sharks get a breakaway or a 2-on-1 rush. Hard to heap a ton of praise on a goaltender who gave up four goals in the first period but Carter George but it feels like at least 10 of his 17 saves have been from dangerous situations, typically without a ton of defensive pressure being applied. Playing better than the numbers, in my opinion.
9:04 \u2013 First Kings penalty of the game goes to Kaleb Lawrence for holding. Offensive-zone infraction.
7:05 \u2013 SJ Goal \u2013 Sharks score with one second remaining on the power play. In arena clock showed the power play as being expired but looked like an error. Kings bench was unhappy with something, but the goal stands. 5-1.
4:47 \u2013 Good shift for Jared Wright. Kings sustained a bit more offensively and Wright made a nice play below the goal line to get the puck into the slot. Nearly had one.
2:33 \u2013 Kings get a power play late in the first period. They\u2019re -1 for 1 thus far. See if they can generate a little bit more here.
0:33 \u2013 Lot more going for LAK on that one. Both defensemen \u2013 Goljer and Brzustweicz \u2013 did good things at the point. Still not the most dangerous but thought there was a lot more going well there.
0:00 \u2013 Much stronger period for the Kings. Thought a few of the top guys had more intensity, the Hughes\/Connors\/Ziemmer line specifically. Kings still pretty open defensively, but it\u2019s a rookie tournament. 5-1 through 40 minutes. <\/p>\n
First Period
20:00 \u2013 We are underway in San Jose!
15:51 \u2013 SJ Goal \u2013 Forward Filip Bystedt gets a deflection on a point shot from defenseman Jake Boltmann and sends the puck past Kings goaltender Carter George 1-0 Sharks, off a good start to the game for the tournamenthosts.
14:03 \u2013 Other than Carter George, there haven\u2019t been a ton of Kings standouts early, but noticed a couple of nice plays by Grant Slukynsky. Nothing that jumps off the page but heads up hockey plays. Good early signs. First time we\u2019ve seen him in a Kings jersey.
10:13 \u2013 SJ Goal \u2013 Sharks make it 2-0 with another deflected effort. Carson Wetsch gets the goal as another puck changes direction in tight and sends George the wrong way. A shame too, because he made a few very good saves before the second one went in.
9:29 \u2013 SJ Goal \u2013 That\u2019s a pretty one. 2-on-1 rush for the sharks, Wetsch this time feeds Gasseau who rips a shot past George on the blocker side. 3-0 Sharks, early in this one.
6:13 \u2013 LAK Goal \u2013 Kings on the board. Great puck transportation by Jared Wright, who put his speed on full display to gain the zone. Jared Woolley had the assist, Vojtech Cihar slammed it home. Kings within 3-1.
2:43 \u2013 Kings will get the game\u2019s first power play as Lombardi is hit from behind into the boards by Bystedt. See what they can do here up a man late in the opening period.
0:48 \u2013 SJ Goal \u2013 Kings didn\u2019t really get much going on the power play and give up a shorthanded goal to make matters worse. 2-on-1 rush was handled by the Sharks kept the play alive and Gasseau buries his second of the period to make it 4-1.
0:00 \u2013 4-1 San Jose after 20 minutes. Sharks certainly had the bulk of the possession and the chances early. Very opposite period to what we saw between these teams last season, when the Kings led 4-0. <\/p>\n
