Sharks blow late lead, suffer crushing OT loss to Los Angeles Kings

SAN JOSE — Nothing has come easy for the Sharks in the third period this month. Absolutely nothing.

Friday night’s end result may have been the most disheartening of all.

Jeff Carter scored with 3:29 left in overtime, as the Los Angeles Kings handed the Sharks a devastating 3-2 loss at SAP Center in their first game after the Christmas break.

The Sharks couldn’t hold a two goal lead entering the final 20 minutes of regulation time, as Martin Frk scored at the 1:30 and 18:36 mark of the third period to help send the game into overtime.
