The Sharks took five minor penalties in the first two periods Sunday night, and the result was predictable: The Kings scored two power-play goals against the exhausted-looking Sharks penalty killers, ruining any chance to stay competitive against the playoff-bound Kings.

Carlsson, stationed near the Bruins’ net, took a pass from Will Smith and chipped the puck past goalie Joonas Korpisalo for his first goal in his first game in a Sharks uniform. William Eklund also scored, and goalie Alexandar Georgiev finished with 22 saves for the Sharks, who snapped a 14-game losing streak to the Bruins.
