NHL: Sharks beat Kings 2-1 in shootout

SAN JOSE, Calif. — Ryane Clowe scored in the sixth round of a shootout, and Evgeni Nabokov stopped Jarret Stoll moments later to give the San Jose Sharks a 2-1 victory over the Los Angeles Kings on Wednesday night.

Both teams missed four of their first five chances in the shootout before Clowe beat Jonathan Quick with a backhand. Clowe hasn't scored any goals so far this season, but that shot will help make up for his slow start.

Nabokov sealed San Jose's fifth win in its last six games when he made a pad save against Stoll. The Kings had won four straight games.
