How to watch tonight’s San Jose Sharks-Los Angeles Kings game
Local San Jose Sharks fans will need a subscription to Hulu or ESPN+ to watch the team’s game against the Los Angeles Kings on Tuesday night.
The Sharks game is the third of four this season that will be shown exclusively on ESPN+ and Hulu. The final Sharks game that will be shown on the streaming network is Thursday’s date with the Arizona Coyotes at SAP Center.
Tuesday’s game starts at 7:30 (PST). Mike Monaco is doing play-by-play with Cassie Campbell-Pascall as the analyst.

All other Sharks games this regular season are being telecast on NBC Sports California. Every game can be heard on the online-only Sharks Audio Network. The Sharks’ game on April 4 vs. Los Angeles was originally supposed to be carried on ESPN+, but will now air on NBC Sports California.
This is the first meeting of the regular season between the Sharks (9-19-3) and the Kings (17-6-4), who have 12 of 14 games away from home so far this season.
Los Angeles has arguably the best group of centermen in the NHL with Anze Kopitar, Pierre-Luc Dubois, and Phillip Danault, and has the stingiest defense in the league, allowing just 2.41 goals per game.
The Sharks are coming off a 0-2-0 road trip in which they lost to the Arizona Coyotes and Colorado Avalanche.
The Sharks’ goalie will be Kaapo Kahkonen, who is 5-2-1 with a .914 save percentage in his last eight games. Los Angeles is starting David Rittich, who is making his season and Kings’ debut. Rittich, who signed with Los Angeles on July 1 as a free agent, was recalled from the AHL last Friday.
