KEY GAME INFORMATION
LOS ANGELES:
LOS ANGELES (AP) - After the most successful two-year stretch in franchise history, the Los Angeles Kings just want to keep it going.
That's because the Kings historically aren't used to good times. The 2012 Stanley Cup champions returned to the Western Conference finals last summer, winning six total playoff rounds - twice as many as this long-struggling team had ever managed in any two-year stretch.
To stay on top, Los Angeles plans to rely on the same unflashy, workmanlike style that allowed coach Darryl Sutter's club to raise the Cup for the first time.
SAN JOSE: SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) - Preparations for the upcoming campaign started early for the San Jose Sharks when they retooled their roster before last season's trade deadline.
A strong finish last spring, followed by a playoff run that ended in Game 7 of the second round, proved to the Sharks that those changes that made the team faster and more aggressive worked.
Now they hope that new identity carries over to this season and is just the right tonic to help one of the league's top regular-season teams over the past decade take that next step and make it to the Stanley Cup for the first time in franchise history.

*Kings-Sharks Preview* ======================

By JOSH DUBOW AP Sports Writer

Los Angeles At San Jose, Game Two, 10:00 p.m. EDT

SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) -- About the only positive the Los Angeles Kings could take out of their lopsided loss in their playoff opener to the San Jose Sharks was no matter how poorly they played, it still only counted as one loss.

Star goalie Jonathan Quick was pulled after a rough first two periods, the Kings fell behind by five goals in the second period as they gave up far too many odd-man rushes and Los Angeles couldn't get anything past Antti Niemi until it was far too late.

It all added up to a 6-3 loss to San Jose and a lesson the Kings know they need to take into Game 2 on Sunday night if they want to even the series before returning home for two games.

"We knew that they were going to come out hard, especially in their building," Kings defenseman Alec Martinez said. "We didn't do a very good job of weathering the storm. We'll learn from it and that's why there are seven games."

San Jose coach Todd McLellan stressed before Game 1 the importance of putting that game in the past.

It's a lesson the Sharks are heeding with the experience of knowing how quickly a series can change.

"That's what you have to do in the playoffs in a long series like this" forward Tommy Wingels said. "You take good things from it and you find a few things you can improve on, but Game 1 was Game 1. It's over with now."

Here are five things to watch in Game 2 of the series:

QUESTIONABLE QUICK: Quick was the biggest reason why the Kings knocked the Sharks out a year ago, limiting San Jose to 10 goals in seven games. San Jose scored half that many in the first 40 minutes against Quick, taking advantage of a few fortunate bounces and some poor play in front of Quick. It was the most goals Quick allowed in the postseason since allowing six in back-to-back losses to the Sharks in 2011.

"I don't think we played very well in front of him," Martinez said. "I think those goals were a byproduct of the team in front of him not playing well. It wasn't on Quickie."

FINDING NEMO: The Sharks spent much of this season looking for the kind of play from Niemi that made him a Vezina Trophy finalist a year ago. But inconsistent play throughout the season, especially down the stretch, led to questions about whether Niemi would even start ahead of rookie Alex Stalock come playoff time. Niemi responded with a strong save against Jeff Carter on the opening shift and didn't give up anything until allowing three late goals when San Jose let up in the third period with a 5-0 lead.

HARD HITS: Both teams showed no hesitation to take the body in Game 1 as they wanted to inflict as much punishment as possible to wear down the opposition as the series gets deeper. The tone was set early with 55 combined hits in the first period and Los Angeles finished the game with 69 - 12 more than any other team generated in a game this season - and San Jose matched a franchise record for a regulation game with 52.

"I don't think it's going to change much," McLellan said. "It's two teams that compete hard."

REVVED-UP RAFFI: After playing just five games in the regular season because of injuries and missing the final six games of last year's series against the Kings, Sharks forward Raffi Torres was eager to get back on the ice. Torres led the Sharks with seven hits and ended up with what proved to be the game-winning goal when he beat Quick on a rebound of Marc Edouard-Vlasic's shot in the second period.

"Raf was hungry to play which is a nice thing," McLellan said. "That energy and enthusiasm ran throughout our lineup."

FACING OFF: Both teams rely on winning the faceoff circle to control possession but there was a decided mismatch in Game 1 when both teams had their third lines in the game. Jarret Stoll won nine of 11 draws against James Sheppard, forcing McLellan to use Joe Pavelski on key draws for that line. Pavelski won four of five draws against Stoll, including all three taken in the defensive zone.

"It's important that you try to win as many as you can and get on the forecheck," Pavelski said.
