Once the Phoenix Coyotes defeated the Minnesota Wild on Saturday — keeping the Sharks from claiming a fifth consecutive Pacific Division title — San Jose, which clinched a playoff spot two nights earlier, defeated the Kings and earned the seventh seed in the Western Conference and a matchup against the Blues.
The San Jose Sharks are tied atop the Pacific Division with 94 points after a come-from-behind 6-5 shootout victory at Pacific Division rival Los Angeles on Thursday night.
