Rapid Reaction: LA Kings 3, SJ Sharks 1

There was no denying Jonathan Quick tonight, the goalie for the LA Kings. He was the MVP of the game, stopping 51/52 shots by the Sharks. Quick stopped 51 shots on goal, the most ever in franchise history for the Kings.

The Kings busted out of the gate, scoring 3 goals in the first five minutes of the game to take a fast 3-0 lead. From there on, they handed over the game to Quick. The Sharks scored a harmless goal in the second when Patrick Marleau found the back of the net. But it was Quick who would determine the outcome of the game. The Sharks had four straight power plays, but could not convert on any of them. Even not on power plays, the Sharks had a lot of good looks, but Quick was too good tonight. He manhandled the Sharks and won the game for the Kings.

Next Game: SJ Sharks @ LA Kings, Monday the 25th - 10:00pm EST. Sharks lead the series 3-2.
