As bad as it was to become just the fourth team to squander a four-goal lead and lose a playoff game in NHL history, the Los Angeles Kings know dwelling on the collapse will only make it worse.

So the task on Wednesday for the Kings was putting the 6-5 overtime loss in Game 3 in the past and turning their focus to Game 4 on Thursday night when they hope to rebound and tie the series at two games apiece.

Los Angeles looked in control with a 4-0 lead less than a minute into the second period, before the Sharks rallied with five goals in the second period to tie it at 5 and then won on Devin Setoguchi's goal 3:09 into overtime to cap the stunner at Staples.
