The San Jose Sharks have yet to lose at home in the 2nd round and that continued on Sunday Night as they get by the L.A. Kings 2-1. Sharks Royalty Center Joe Thornton scored as did Defenseman T.J Galiardi to help the Sharks force a game seven at Staples Silver and Black.

The Sharks sat on the 2-1 lead from late in the 2nd frame when Kings Right Winger Dustin Brown made it 2-1. Again both goalies were just magnificent as Antii Niemi outlasts the Kings Jonathan Quick. Niemi stopped 24 of 25 and Quick 24 of 26 as  both offenses have found a common theme score early and hit after that.

All six games have been low scoring and this one was no different. Both teams have been hitting as this has been the most physical series of the four in the 2nd round. The Kings now face immense pressure to close out the Sharks in their building as the defending Stanley Cup Champions. The Sharks have the daunting task of not having won in their building yet and in order for the Sharks to move they must get a "W" in Staples on Tuesday Night May 28.

The Western Conference Hockey is mounting up to be a good one as both series have gone six games with one going seven.
