The Sharks were carrying a nine-game losing streak at home into Tuesday. They went 0-5-0 at home to end last season and were 0-2-2 at the Shark Tank so far this season. They and the Kings were the only two teams left in the NHL not to win a game in their home arenas.

Ryan Warsofsky was encouraged by the Sharks' performance in San Jose's 4-3 loss to the Los Angeles Kings on Tuesday.

The Los Angeles Kings ’ greatest strength is their ability to slow games down and suffocate opponents with disciplined defensive play. That’s exactly how Los Angeles beat a young and speedy Chicago Blackhawks team Sunday, and the San Jose Sharks profile similarly.

At the Devils’ morning skate, team reporter Amanda Stein noted a few lineup adjustments. Jake Allen is expected to start in net after earning the win in the last matchup against San Jose, stopping 16 of 17 shots. Defensive pairings were also shuffled during the skate.

Just over halfway through the opening frame, Corey Perry scored the typical Corey Perry goal as he battled in the crease and jammed in the loose puck to give the Kings a 1-0 lead. Alex Laferriere and Brandt Clarke registered the assists. Perry is on a 46 goal pace as he now has three goals in his first five games with the Kings.
