Sharks smell blood heading to home ice

Joe Pavelski and Martin Jones took only a moment's satisfaction from a second straight excellent road effort by the San Jose Sharks.

No series lead is comforting after what happened when San Jose faced the Kings two years ago, but at least the Sharks know they are heading home playing the right way.

Pavelski scored his third goal in two games, Jones made 27 saves and the Sharks took a 2-0 series lead on the Kings with a 2-1 victory in Game 2 on Saturday night.
