from Elliott Teaford of the LA Daily News,

Now what? Now what do the Kings try after being outplayed and falling behind the San Jose Sharks two games to none in their best-of-7 first-round playoff series? What must they do to rally, to build confidence and momentum and get back into the series?

It’s simple.

The Sharks’ best players have been their best players during the first two games, a 4-3 victory Thursday in Game 1 and a 2-1 win Saturday in Game 2. Joe Pavelski, the Sharks’ top goal-scorer in the regular season with 38, has a team-leading four points (three goals, one assist) so far.

The same cannot be said of the Kings’ top players. Right wing Tyler Toffoli, their leading goal-scorer with 31 during the regular season, has failed to record a point in two games. Center Anze Kopitar, their top scorer with 74 points, has one assist so far.
