I don’t know about you, but I’m still not over the long-awaited (but much anticipated) first NHL win for rookie goaltender Zach Sawchenko against the Los Angeles Kings. And if you’re thinking, wait, didn’t the San Jose Sharks just play the Kings? Well, they did, but the pair will be facing off in their second of a home-and-home series, this time in San Jose.
It won’t be an easy rematch for the Sharks, even with the return of defender Erik Karlsson. Despite having one more win under their belt to help boost the Sharks’ confidence, the Kings are still a formidable opponent, sitting second in the Pacific Division and a shoo-in for the playoffs.
