SAN JOSE - Games between the Sharks and Los Angeles Kings usually are very entertaining. Friday's contest, however, was something else entirely.
After another third-period meltdown, San Jose let a two-goal lead slip through its fingers and eventually fell in overtime to their SoCal rival 3-2.
Here are three takeaways from Friday's game.
