Kings vs Sharks: Team Records, Injuries & Leading Scorers
The Los Angeles Kings enter tonight’s contest with a record of 10-6-4 (24 points), sitting comfortably in the playoff mix but looking to bounce back after a tight 2-1 loss to the Washington Capitals. The San Jose Sharks are currently 9-8-3 (21 points) and are coming off an electric 3-2 overtime win against the Utah Mammoth, fueled by a hat trick from their young star.
Leading Scorers (2025-26 Season):
- Los Angeles Kings: Adrian Kempe continues to lead the charge with 19 points (6G, 13A), supported by Quinton Byfield (17 points) and Kevin Fiala (15 points).
- San Jose Sharks: The phenom Macklin Celebrini is tearing up the league with 30 points (13G, 17A), followed by Will Smith (19 points) and William Eklund (13 points).
Key Injuries: The Kings have suffered a significant blow on the blue line with veteran defenseman Drew Doughty placed on Injured Reserve (week-to-week) after taking a shot off the foot. Goaltender Darcy Kuemper is resting, so Anton Forsberg is expected to start, backed up by the recalled Pheonix Copley.
The Sharks are missing veteran winger Jeff Skinner (lower body, week-to-week) and rookie Michael Misa (lower body), forcing them to rely heavily on their young core to fill the offensive void.
Betting Odds & Prediction: The oddsmakers have the Kings as favorites at -170, with the Over/Under set at 5.5 goals.
Personal Insight: I’ve been crunching the numbers on this one, and honestly, the Kings at -170 feels like a safe but pricey play. While Macklin Celebrini was unstoppable against Utah, the Kings’ defensive structure—even without Doughty—is miles ahead of what the Mammoth offered. San Jose is riding an emotional high, but teams often regress after a chaotic OT win. I think Los Angeles tightens up the neutral zone and frustrates the Sharks’ young guns. I’m taking the Kings to win 4-2, covering the puck line and hitting the Over on that 5.5 total. The experience of Kopitar in his final San Jose appearance will be the difference-maker.
