Ersberg, Kings seeking third straight win
Dec 15, 2008 - 2:23 PM San Jose (24-3-2) at Los Angeles (13-12-4), 10:30 pm ESTLOS ANGELES (Ticker) -- Erik Ersberg appears to have the Los Angeles Kings moving in the right direction. But the goaltender will now have to keep it going against the NHL's best team.
Ersberg will attempt to lead the Kings to their third consecutive victory Monday when they face the red-hot San Jose Sharks.
The 26-year-old Ersberg has put together a pair of nice performances, combining for 59 saves on 62 shots in wins over the St. Louis Blues and Minnesota Wild on Thursday and Saturday, respectively.
It won't be easy to keep that trend going against the Sharks, who have scored a league-best 109 goals this season. San Jose also hasn't lost in regulation since November 9, posting an 11-0-2 record over that stretch.
The Sharks tied an NHL record for the fastest team to reach 50 points in a season when they overcame a two-goal deficit to defeat the St. Louis Blues, 5-4, on Saturday. In just 29 contests, they matched the mark set by the 1929-30 Boston Bruins.
Captain Patrick Marleau scored two goals - including the game-winner - and set up another and Joe Thornton added three assists Saturday for San Jose, which is 7-0-1 since goaltender Evgeni Nabokov returned after missing seven contests.
