As they struggle to score goals, the San Jose Sharks badly need better goalkeeping. Still, they may want to consider giving Evgeni Nabokov a break. Coming off their worst offensive game in nearly a month, the Pacific Division-leading Sharks try to end the Los Angeles Kings’ recent domination of the series Monday night at Staples Center. San Jose (28-10-7) scored two goals or fewer in each of its last three games, losing two. Though Patrick Marleau scored for the fourth straight contest, the Sharks fell 4-1 to Detroit on Saturday night - the first time San Jose was held to less than two goals since a 2-1 loss at Phoenix on Dec. 12.

Defense has also been a problem, with the Sharks allowing 10 goals in their last two defeats. Nabokov is having another outstanding season, but subpar play from the veteran contributed to the losses, as he gave up nine goals in those contests. Fatigue could be a factor, as Nabokov is fourth in the league with 2,317 minutes played. With San Jose facing a quick turnaround with a game at Phoenix on Tuesday night, the Sharks may decide to give their top goalie a breather.
