Jake Walman had a goal and two assists to help the San Jose Sharks win their second in a row, 4-2 against the visiting Los Angeles Kings on Tuesday night.

Walman recorded three points for the second straight game. Fabian Zetterlund, Tyler Toffoli and William Eklund also scored and Vitek Vanecek made 26 saves for San Jose, which had started 0-7-2 before winning on back-to-back nights.

Akil Thomas and Alex Laferriere scored, and David Rittich made 17 saves for the Kings, who had won two in a row and four of five.

After both teams combined for two goals in the first 46:25, they scored three goals in a 4:37 span of the third period.

The Sharks initially took a 2-1 lead at 6:25.

Walman started the play when he banked a pass out of his own zone to Alexander Wennberg, who made a touch pass to Zetterlund coming through the neutral zone with speed. He skated in on Rittich before scoring with a wrist shot from the top of the right circle.

The Kings came right back to tie it 2-2 at 8:52.

Warren Foegele won the puck in the corner of the Sharks' zone before making a backhand no-look pass to Laferriere, who scored as he cut to the net.

San Jose moved back ahead 3-2 at 11:02 when Walman knocked down a clearing attempt with his glove just inside the Los Angeles blue line. He found Toffoli in front of the net and he scored from in close.

Eklund sealed the win with an empty-net goal with 38 seconds left.

The Sharks scored first after Carl Grundstrom won a faceoff in the Los Angeles zone and Nico Sturm banked a pass back to Walman at the left point. Walman drifted into the middle before firing a slap shot past Rittich for a 1-0 lead at 2:20 of the second period.

The Kings quickly answered when defenseman Brandt Clarke took a slap shot from above the right circle. The puck hit Vanecek in the chest and bounced over his head, landing in the crease.

Thomas, who was a healthy scratch the first nine games of the season, was in position to sweep the puck across the goal line to tie it 1-1 at 3:18.
