San Jose Sharks make history, embarrassing awful history

The Los Angeles Kings made history Wednesday night, becoming the fourth NHL team to come back from an 0-3 series deficit by beating the San Jose Sharks 5-1 in Game 7. They’ll now move on to face their other in-state rivals, the Anaheim Ducks, in Round 2.

After Matt Irwin opened the scoring for the Sharks early in the second period, the Kings would answer with three goals over the next 23 minutes en route to joining the 1942 Toronto Maple Leafs, 1975 New York Islanders and 2010 Philadelphia Flyers in the history books.

(Kings forward Mike Richards was on that Flyers team four years ago. Jeff Carter was as well, but he was injured for the series against the Boston Bruins.)

Two moments in the second period changed the course of the game in favor of the Kings.
