San Jose looks to get back into its winning ways against Los Angeles at home as the Sharks host the Kings on NBC Sports at 7 p.m. PT. L.A. snapped the Sharks’ four-game winning streak on New Year’s Eve and can give San Jose a two-game losing streak with a win tonight.
Both David Schlemko and Marc-Edouard Vlasic are ruled out due to injury tonight, thinning out the Sharks’ blue line. Mirco Mueller and Dylan DeMelo will draw in to replace the defenders. Martin Jones starts in net again for San Jose.
