LOS ANGELES — The Los Angeles Kings hadn’t held a two-goal lead in the entire postseason until Slava Voynov’s shot fortunately caromed off Mike Richards’ body and into San Jose’s net midway through their second-round series opener.

A two-goal lead was one more than Jonathan Quick needed against the Sharks.

Quick made 35 saves in his sixth career playoff shutout, and the Kings opened the fourth all-California playoff series with a 2-0 victory Tuesday night.

Voynov and Richards each had a goal and an assist in the Stanley Cup winners’ 11th straight victory at Staples Center since March. With no eye-catching numbers, Los Angeles has won five straight playoff games after an 0-2 start to its title defense. The Kings are relying on team defense and Quick, who delivered yet another dominant playoff performance.

The Sharks’ superior speed and passing couldn’t get anything past last season’s Conn Smythe Trophy winner. Game 2 is Thursday.
