Niemi, Setoguchi Lead Sharks Over Kings 1-0
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Antti Niemi posted his ninth NHL shutout with 29 saves, and Devin Setoguchi scored on his 24th birthday to lead the San Jose Sharks to a 1-0 victory over the Los Angeles Kings on Saturday night.
Jonathan Quick stopped 18 shots, including a breakaway by defenseman Kent Huskins at 1:04 of the second period, but the Kings were shut out for the second time this season. Los Angeles fell to 13-4-1 at home.
Quick beat the Sharks 4-0 at home last Monday.
The Sharks had only 10 shots before Setoguchi scored his seventh goal at 18:54 of the second period. He beat Quick to the stick side with a screened wrist shot after patiently waiting for three players to converge in front of him.
