The Sharks also had issues on the power play Sunday, going 0-for-3 with the man advantage without a shot on net. Down 1-0 in the first period, the Sharks had a two-man advantage for 1:4, but a Macklin Celebrini shot from the point off the post was as close as San Jose came to scoring.

The Los Angeles Kings (40-23-9) host the San Jose Sharks (20-43-9) to close out the season series with their Northern California rival.

Getting some point production from their defense corps will no doubt benefit the San Jose Sharks as they try to finish what’s left of this season on a positive note. That and some solid goaltending gave the Sharks a chance to beat the playoff-bound Edmonton Oilers on Thursday night.
