Arvidsson, Anderson-Dolan propel Kings past Sharks

SAN JOSE --Viktor Arvidsson and Jaret Anderson-Dolan each had a goal and an assist for the Los Angeles Kings in a 5-2 win against the San Jose Sharks at SAP Center on Friday.

Sean Durzi had two assists, and Jonathan Quick made 29 saves for the Kings (12-9-2), who had lost three straight.
"It was a good road game," Los Angeles coach Todd McLellan said. "When that happens, usually all four lines are involved, all six defensemen, [and the] goaltending was solid."
Kevin Labanc and Alexander Barabanov scored, and James Reimer made 24 saves for the Sharks (7-13-3), who have lost four of five.
"It hurts when you're playing good hockey, and now we've lost four of five here," San Jose captain Logan Couture said. "So, we've got to get back on track."
Adrian Kempe appeared to give the Kings a lead 42 seconds into the first period, but the goal was nullified when video review determined Kevin Fiala preceded the puck into the offensive zone prior to the goal.
But Anderson-Dolan made it 1-0 at 8:55 of the first period from the top of the right face-off circle off a pass from Blake Lizotte. It was his first goal since Feb. 7, 2021.
"Feels great," Anderson-Dolan said. "It's been a while, so it definitely felt good."

Labanc tied it 1-1 at 13:02 with a slap shot from the slot, but Phillip Danault put Los Angeles ahead 2-1 at 17:54 on a power play, scoring from the top of the left circle.
"I thought our first period got better as it went on, and then they got the power play," Sharks coach David Quinn said. "Listen, that's a good team. They're hard, they're quick. At times we matched them, and at times we didn't."
Arvidsson extended the lead to 3-1 at 4:39 of the second period. Reimer thought he had stopped Arvidsson's shot with his knees, but the puck trickled in five-hole.
"It's unfortunate that my performance wasn't up to par tonight," Reimer said. "It's too bad. I thought we played hard tonight. Just couldn't find a way to get some points."
Barabanov cut it to 3-2 at 19:23 when he redirected the puck past Quick after a giveaway by Durzi.
Rasmus Kupari made it 4-2 at 2:51 of the third period when his shot beat Reimer five-hole.
Anze Kopitar scored into an empty net at 17:32 for the 5-2 final.
"There were good elements to our game," Quinn said. "But we're not here to just put together some pieces of a hockey game and feel good about it. We've got to win hockey games."
NOTES:Couture had his five-game goal streak end, one short of the Sharks record set by Owen Nolan (Nov. 28-Dec. 8, 1999, and Jan. 20-30, 2003), and Patrick Marleau (Nov. 11-21, 2002 and March 30-April 10, 2002). … San Jose defenseman Radim Simek had four hits in 15:42 after missing five games with an upper-body injury. … Sharks forwards Timo Meier (five goals, three assists) and Tomas Hertl (one goal, six assists) each extended his point streak to six games. … Lizotte played his 200th NHL game.
