Suddenly, the pressure is on the San Jose Sharks.

After two wins in Los Angeles to open the series, the Sharks woes at home continued Monday, falling 2-1 in overtime to the Kings.

Captain Joe Pavelski and linemate Joe Thornton have been the catalysts for San Jose's offense through three games, but after only three goals in the last two contests, Sharks head coach Peter DeBoer is looking for more production from everybody.

When asked if he'd like to see more from lines two-through-four, DeBoer didn't beat around the bush.

"I think that's probably a little bit of an understatement," he said, according to Kevin Kurz of CSN Bay Area.

Each game has been decided by one goal, and the Sharks are approaching treacherous waters if their supporting cast fails to show up.
