San Jose Sharks Vs. Los Angeles Kings Start Time, Preview, TV
- Updated: October 7, 2015
Hockey is back!! The Los Angeles Kings will play host to their arch rivals the San Jose Sharks on opening night of the 2015-2016 NHL season.
Both teams look to put last season’s disappointments behind as both teams have their eyes on the Pacific Division crown. With some old faces in new places the Kings and Sharks will put their new units to the test.
The Kings had reached the playoffs 5 straight years before missing it last season and had some difficult decisions to make this offseason. The club parted ways with Jarret Stoll and Mike Richards. Slava Voynov is no longer a distraction as he is off in a far away land across the pond.
The club added Christian Ehrhoff and Milan Lucic to help reload the roster. Martin Jones was traded from the Kings to the Boston Bruins only to end up in San Jose. (Sorry Emily I have to bring it up)
He will be the opening day starter for the first time in his career and you although I doubt he has hard feelings toward the Kings you can bet he’ll want to post a shutout against his former team.
For the Sharks to make the playoffs they will need Jones to be solid all season which may be a lot to ask for given he only played in 34 games in his NHL career.
The Sharks will be without F Raffi Torres who was suspended by the NHL for 41 games for his illegal check to the head on Jakob Silfverberg.
We’re looking forward to a great season for the Kings! Go Kings Go!
