2015 NHL Stadium Series: Los Angeles Kings Vs San Jose Sharks.

February 21st 2015.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Under the stars or under a roof, it doesn’t seem to matter now to the Los Angeles Kings. They’ll win wherever you want them to play.

The Kings won their seventh consecutive game and moved into third place in the Pacific Division on Saturday with a 2-1 victory against the San Jose Sharks in front of a sellout crowd of 70,205 on a pristine Northern California night for the 2015 Coors Light NHL Stadium Series game at Levi’s Stadium.

Two weeks ago, the Kings (28-18-12) were five points out of the second Western Conference wild-card spot for the Stanley Cup Playoffs with four teams to climb. Now they’re one point behind the Vancouver Canucks for second place in the division.

Marian Gaborik scored the winning goal early in the third period, Kyle Clifford gave the Kings an early lead in the first and Jonathan Quick made 31 saves. Quick has played every minute of the winning streak and has made 73 saves in his past two games.

“Right now we are kind of where we want to be, where we do have a playoff spot. But we obviously want to make it a little deeper,” Kings defenseman Drew Doughty said. “We can still possibly get second place in our division probably. That’s what we’re looking to try and do. We’re not going to get ahead of ourselves with this winning streak. Yeah it’s nice to be in a playoff spot, but 20-something games left, so lots of work.”

Antti Niemi made 27 saves and Brent Burns scored for the Sharks (30-23-8), who dropped out of a playoff position in the Western Conference with their third loss in four games, sixth in their past eight and eighth in their past 11 games (3-6-2).

Los Angeles, the Calgary Flames and San Jose are tied with 68 points, but the Kings have the lead in the standings by virtue of having played fewer games. They have played 58, Calgary has played 59 and San Jose has played 61. The Flames occupy the second wild-card spot.

“There has never ever been any doubt within this room,” Kings captain Dustin Brown said. “I think a lot of the doubt and a lot of the ‘Are we going to make the playoffs’ was coming from outside the room. In saying that, where we are now, we still have a lot of work to do. We’ve put ourselves in a better situation coming down the stretch, but there’s still a lot of hockey to be played.”

The temperature was 57.4 degrees Fahrenheit when the game started at 7:16 p.m. PT. The tailgates going on outside of the stadium started hours before that under the sun on what was a picture-perfect Northern California day.

Eventually 70,205 people packed inside the home of the NFL’s San Francisco 49ers to watch a game and get treated to a show, including a riveting national anthem and concerts from John Fogerty and Melissa Etheridge.

The game manifested itself into an event to celebrate hockey in Northern California almost 13 months after the League celebrated hockey in Southern California with the NHL Stadium Series game at Dodger Stadium between the Kings and Anaheim Ducks.
