SAN JOSE, Calif. — The Rangers practiced changes Monday in Los Angeles before flying here for Tuesday’s match against the Sharks. Of course they did, in the aftermath of picking up a too-many-men penalty for the third straight game and fifth time in 11 games overall.
This one was damaging, coming as it did midway through the second period when Tony DeAngelo jumped too early, fewer than two minutes after a Kings’ power-play goal had brought LA to within 2-1. The Kings quickly capitalized on the mental blunder to score another power-play goal en route to a 4-3 victory.
