Minnesota at New Jersey, 4 p.m. Boston at Montreal, 4 p.m.
Dallas at Chicago, 5 p.m.Patrick Marleau scored
at 2:35 of overtime to give the
surging San Jose Sharks a
4-3 win over the Kings in a
game Monday night in which
Kings defenseman Alec
Martinez was injured in a
skate incident with Erik
Karlsson.
“Marty took a skate into
that arm area and got
stepped on, and he’s going to
be evaluated later on
tonight, and we’ll have more
for you tomorrow,” Kings
coach Todd McLellan told
reporters. “It’s obviously not
a good situation, but it’s all I
can really give you right now.
If I had any more, I’d share it
with you.”
Martinez was reportedly
taken to a hospital for fur-
ther evaluation.
Timo Meier scored twice
and Karlsson had a goal and
an assist for the Sharks, who
have won nine of 10. Kevin
Labanc added two assists,
and Martin Jones made 33
saves.
Anze Kopitar, Dustin
Brown and Adrian Kempe
scored for the Kings, who
erased a 3-1 deficit in the
third but have lost three of
their past four games. Jona-
than Quick stopped 21 shots.
Marleau scored when
Quick tried to knock away a
deflected shot by Labanc,
only to send it to the veteran
forward for a shot into an
open net.
“I didn’t mind our start,
we were in it for a little while,
coughed up a few pucks, and
as a result they scored their
first [goal],” McLellan said.
“After that we didn’t give up
much, it seems like the mis-
takes we made were in the
back of our net. I’m not in-
sinuating that the goaltend-
ing was weak by any means,
they just put them in. Then
something happened that
bothered me a little bit, I
thought we sagged.”
Kopitar tied the score 3-3
at 12:52 of the third period on
the rebound of Alex Iafallo’s
shot. The Sharks took a 1-0
lead on Karlsson’s third goal.Kings lose more than a game to Sharks

Ryan Getzlaf had a goal
and an assist, John Gibson
made 26 saves and the
Ducks defeated the New
York Islanders 3-0 on Mon-
day night at Honda Center.
The loss ended New
York’s point streak at 17
games. The Ducks had lost
three consecutive games
and five in a row at home.
New York had a 16-5 ad-
vantage in shots during the
first period and 26-23 over-
all, but couldn’t find a way to
beat Gibson, who earned his
first shutout this season.
The Ducks broke
through at 10 minutes 28 sec-
onds of the first period when
Getzlaf got his stick on a re-
bound after Rickard Rakell’s
shot from the blue line. In an
effort to clear the puck from
in front, forward Jordan
Eberle redirected it into the
Islanders net.
Getzlaf, who had sharp
criticism of the Ducks after a
6-2 loss Saturday at Tampa
Bay, scored his ninth of the
season and extended his
point streak to five games.
“Throughout the game,
we sustained what we
wanted to,” Getzlaf said.
Goalie Thomas Greiss
kept New York in the game
until the 13:13 mark of the
third period when Cam
Fowler and Ondrej Kase
scored about a minute
apart.
Fowler took a pass from
Getzlaf, who was next to the
Islanders net, and scored his
fifth goal this season. Kasescored his third at 13:24 with
Fowler getting an assist.
“Well, it’s obviously a
great challenge,” Fowler
said. “They [Islanders] are
one of the hottest or the
hottest team in the league,
so easy game to get up for.
We believe that we can com-
pete with anybody if we play
consistently for 60 minutes
and we did that tonight, so
it’s a big win for our group.”Puck stops with Gibson on the job

And, on Sunday, the
team rested.
That is a sentence that is
rarely heard in baseball.
Sunday is a popular day for
ballgames, and major league
teams usually get their days
off sprinkled in the middle of
the week.
But, for the first time in
recent memory, the Dodgers
will get two Sundays off in
2020.
The Dodgers will not play
on the first Sunday of the
season, March 29, or July 12,
the Sunday before the All-
Star break.
When the 2020 schedule
was announced in August,
the Dodgers and San Fran-
cisco Giants were scheduled
to open the season Thurs-
day, March 26, at Dodger
Stadium, take Friday off,
and play there Saturday and
Sunday.
However, after ESPN last
week picked the Chicago
Cubs-Milwaukee Brewers
game as its “Sunday Night
Baseball” selection for that
first weekend of the season,
the Dodgers shifted the Sun-
day date to Friday. The Dod-
gers preferred the Friday
date all along, a team official
said, but the league asked
the team to let ESPN make
its decision first.
The Dodgers’ average at-
tendance last season for Fri-
day games: 49,896; for Sun-
day games: 48,218.
The Dodgers host the All-
Star game Tuesday, July 14.
Normally, host teams play
on the road through the
Sunday before the game.
But the Dodgers complete a
five-game trip with two
games at Angel Stadium on
July 10-11. Their last homegame before the All-Star
break is Sunday, July 5, giv-
ing the organization a week
to prepare for the All-Star
game and leadup festivities.
According to the annual
schedules posted on the
team website, the last time
the Dodgers did not play on
Sunday was Sept. 16, 2001, as
part of the league’s post-
ponement of games after the
Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.Still no contract
for Friedman
Nearly a month haspassed since the World Se-
ries concluded and Andrew
Friedmanstill is not under
contract with the Dodgers
for next season, according to
a person with knowledge of
the situation.
But the prospects of
coming to terms have not
changed.
Friedman, the club’s
president of baseball opera-
tions since October 2014, is
expected to finalize a deal
this offseason. He is oversee-
ing the Dodgers’ baseball
operations as usual and at-
tended the general man-
agers meetings this month.
Friedman’s five-year con-
tract expired at the end of
the season.
The Dodgers have won
seven National League West
titles in a row, the last five
under Friedman, and they
advanced to the World Se-
ries in 2017 and 2018 under
the 43-year-old executive’s
watch.
When Friedman and the
Dodgers do agree on a con-
tract, the team likely won’t
make an announcement.
Team President Stan Kas-
tenhas a longstanding pol-
icy of not announcing the
contracts of executives, dat-
ing to his tenures with theAtlanta Braves and Wash-
ington Nationals.Hill undergoes
arm surgery
If Rich Hillis going to ex-
tend his major league career
with the Dodgers or another
club, he will have to over-
come another obstacle.
The left-handed pitcher
underwent primary revision
surgery last month for a tear
in the ulnar collateral liga-
ment in his left elbow and
will not be ready for the start
of next season, according to
a person with knowledge of
the situation.
Hill sat out nearly three
months in 2019 after suffer-
ing a flexor tendon strain in
June. He reinjured his left
knee in his first start back
from the injured list, but re-
turned 12 days later and was
put on the Dodgers’ postsea-
son roster.
He pitched 8^1 ⁄ 3 innings
across four starts between
the regular season and play-
offs after the forearm injury.
He finished the regular sea-
son with a 2.45 earned-run
average and 72 strikeouts to
18 walks in 13 starts.
Hill is a free agent after
his three-year, $48-millioncontract expired. He turns
40 in March. As the season
wound down, he insisted he
wanted to continue his ca-
reer. He said he would wel-
come a return to Los Ange-
les, where he spent the last
31 ⁄ 2 seasons.
Like Tommy John
surgery, primary revision
surgery is performed to fix a
tear in the UCL. It is less in-
trusive and requires a short-
er rehabilitation period, but
Hill’s age and injury history,
which includes Tommy John
surgery in 2011, could shrink
his market.
Hyun-Jin Ryu, another
member of the Dodgers’ 2019
starting rotation, is also a
free agent, leaving the Dod-
gers with two holes in the ro-
tation.
They could fill them with
in-house options — Julio
Urias, Dustin Mayand Tony
Gonsolinare among the
candidates — or acquire
help.
Right-handers Gerrit
Coleand Stephen Stras-
burg, both Southern Califor-
nia natives, headline the
free-agent class this off-
season.
Zack Wheeler, another
right-hander, is also a high-
end option.DODGERS REPORT
