Cheecho ends longest shootout in Sharks' history, beats Kings
Hockey Betting Lines
03/15/2009 -
San Jose, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Jonathan Cheechoo scored in the seventh round
of the shootout, and Evgeni Nabokov made it stand up following a 23-save
effort in regulation, as San Jose got by the Kings, 2-1, in what was the
longest shootout in HP Pavilion history.
The Sharks received a lift with the return of Nabokov following a nearly 2
1/2-week absence. Brian Boucher was called upon for seven straight starts with
the No. 1 goaltender nursing a lower-body injury.
San Jose had led the Western Conference for most of the season but currently
find themselves a point back of front-running Detroit in the standings thanks
to losses in five of their previous six games. Milan Michalek got the
regulation tally.
Wayne Simmonds scored in regulation and Erik Ersberg was fantastic in a losing
effort, turning back 38-of-39 shots for the Kings, who lost their second game
in a row and for the sixth straight time on the road. LA has been held to two
goals or fewer in five of those road defeats.
San Jose's Joe Pavelski and Jack Johnson got back-to-back scores in the second
round to open the scoring for their respective squads in the shootout. The
goaltenders took over from there until Cheechoo faked down Ersberg with a
forehand flinch before lifting a shot over his left shoulder.
Teddy Purcell had a chance to extend the game for LA, but Nabokov turned aside
a forehand shot to seal the win.
San Jose got on the board 5:28 into the contest, as Dan Boyle and Pavelski
traded passes out at the point before the latter flipped it on net, where
Michalek tipped it home.
Simmonds tied it up just 41 seconds into the second on a slap shot but the
Kings wasted a great shorthanded opportunity early in the third period, when
Dustin Brown and Anze Kopitar couldn't figure out what to do on a 2-on-0.
Kopitar eventually wound up with the puck after Brown dished it right before
the goal-mouth, and Kopitar slid on by behind the net before shooting at
the widest possible angle.
Ersberg allowed things to stay even way with some stellar goaltending play.
His 10 saves in the second were followed by a 13-save third frame, which
included a point-blank robbing of Rob Blake in the waning moments of
regulation.
Ersberg stoned Blake again in the overtime session on a booming slap shot from
the right circle to force a shootout. While not as busy, Nabokov made the
necessary saves down the stretch to keep the contest knotted at one.
Game Notes
San Jose is 27-3-4 at home this year and will play its next two on the
road...Los Angeles is 13-17-1 on the road this year...The Sharks have won all
five meetings with the Kings this season and eight of the last nine meetings
as well. That includes four straight wins as the host...Blake also returned
and against his old team after missing the last two games due to a foot
injury. Blake played with the Kings from 1989 through part of the 2000-01
season and then again in the last two seasons before joining the Sharks this
offseason.
