Covers Preview - Two Pacific Division rivals close out their regular-season schedules Saturday, when the San Jose Sharks visit the Los Angeles Kings in what may be a preview of a first-round playoff series in the Western Conference. San Jose and Los Angeles trail the St. Louis Blues by one point for fourth place in the West. A Sharks win over the Kings in either overtime or a shootout and a Blues regulation loss at home to the Chicago Blackhawks would put San Jose in fourth place and Los Angeles in fifth.
