"Brandt Clarke scored the winning goal with just over six and a half minutes remaining in the third period as the Los Angeles Kings defeated the San Jose Sharks 4-3 despite being outshot 40-14. The Sharks overcame a 3-0 deficit to tie the game. Darcy Kuemper made 37 saves for the Kings, who concluded a five-game road trip with four wins and at least one point in each game."
"Although San Jose dominated most of the early second period, the scoreboard didn't show it. The Sharks recorded 13 of the period's first 15 shots, but the other two went for Kings goals. On the first, Los Angeles took possession of the puck deep in their own zone and worked it up the boards, creating a rush which ended in a wrist-shot goal for Malott from the top of the circle."
