Los Angeles Kings — forward shot volume
San Jose Sharks have allowed 22.17 shots on goal per game to opposing forwards (+10.3% versus league). That opens a Los Angeles Kings forward SOG search. Los Angeles Kings have generated 21.05 through their forwards (+4.7% versus league), which describes their normal volume. The defensive allowance starts the player scan; the team’s prior shooting rate does not veto it. San Jose Sharks have also allowed +20.7% more PP SOG than league; current PP1 or PP2 members have another possible shot route.
Adrian Kempe, Alex Laferriere and Quinton Byfield carry the largest prior share of this shot group. Trevor Moore and Alex Turcotte also have current lines and recorded five-on-five shots and attempts, so the shot case reaches beyond the primary names. Other players supplied 51% of the team's prior group SOG. Trevor Moore recorded 1.71 SOG and 3.44 attempts per qualified game at five-on-five; the current role has no established PP shot route. Alex Turcotte recorded 1.08 SOG and 2.24 attempts per qualified game at five-on-five; current PP2 membership adds a possible route, with 0.04 SOG and 0.08 attempts per game in prior power-play states. Attempts include shots that missed or were blocked; they are part of the same shot pool as SOG.
That makes their SOG markets the cleanest way to bet on the shots. They need to put pucks on net; they do not need to score.

Power-play units
Los Angeles Kings PP1
Los Angeles Kings have averaged 2.80 power plays per game, and San Jose Sharks have conceded 3.21. Together those past rates sit at roughly 3 chances. That is close to average, so PP1 has to produce from about its usual number of chances.

Adrian Kempe and Quinton Byfield have scored the most PP goals among today's PP1, while Brandt Clarke and Adrian Kempe have supplied the most credited PP assists. The listed unit is current, but its minutes tonight are not guaranteed.
PP2 (informational): Alex Turcotte, Alex Laferriere, Erik Haula, Drew Doughty, Erik Gustafsson.

San Jose Sharks PP1
San Jose Sharks have averaged 3.23 power plays per game, and Los Angeles Kings have conceded 3.00. Together those past rates sit at roughly 3 chances. That is a little more favorable than average, giving PP1 another chance to matter.

Macklin Celebrini and Alexander Wennberg have scored the most PP goals among today's PP1, while Macklin Celebrini and Alexander Wennberg have supplied the most credited PP assists.

Goalies / what could change
Los Angeles Kings: Anton Forsberg is listed as likely. San Jose Sharks generated 27.8 goalie-faced SOG per game, while Los Angeles Kings allowed 29.4; that could create workload if the starter plays the full game. A goalie-saves target still needs confirmed participation and its own qualified workload case.
San Jose Sharks: Yaroslav Askarov is listed as confirmed. A goalie-saves target still needs confirmed participation and its own qualified workload case.
