The San Jose Sharks (43-22-8, 2nd Pacific) and Los Angeles Kings (26-39-8, 8th Pacific) have something in common: both teams have lost their last three games, in regulation, at home. For the Kings, this is all gravy, as they fight to cling to the best possible odds for this summer’s draft lottery. For the Sharks, it could cost them the division, but things are looking up: as has been the case for many NHL teams this season, nobody busts a slump like the Los Angeles Kings. The two struggling squads are tied for the second longest active regulation losing streak (the New York Rangers have lost four) while ostensibly heading in very different directions.
