"Jonathan Quick was solid in the first period for Los Angeles, but soon disbanded in losing their second straight. He stopped 21 shots.We just weren't good enough, "he said. "We let the game get away from us at the beginning of the third. That's definitely not us in the past two games. We have much to prove themselves and fans ".The sharks stunned fast with two quick goals to open the third.
