Sharks beat Kings in OT to cut deficit

SAN Jose's Logan Couture returned from an injury to score in overtime and give the Sharks a 2-1 win over the Los Angeles Kings on Saturday, cutting the deficit in their NHL second-round playoff series to 1-2.

Also on Saturday, Detroit beat Chicago to square their series at 1-1.

San Jose had suffered a couple of galling defeats in the opening two rounds of the series, but it responded on Saturday in a game it could not afford to lose. Whereas the Kings had received some contentious calls in the opening two games, this time the Sharks were the beneficiaries.

Tommy Wingels drew a hooking penalty on Robyn Regehr with 41.7 seconds left in regulation. But the call that really had the Kings steaming came when Trevor Lewis was called for goaltender interference when he crashed into Antti Niemi with 4.5 seconds remaining.

Rookie Tyler Toffoli scored the lone goal for the defending Stanley Cup champion Kings, who had won six straight games since dropping the first two in the opening round in St. Louis.
