Initial announcement
After the success of the 2014 NHL Stadium Series game at Dodger Stadium, it was widely rumored that there was going to be an outdoor game in Northern California with Levi's Stadium, AT&T Park and Stanford Stadium as the three most likely options to host the outdoor game. On August 6, 2014, it was officially announced that Levi's Stadium was going to host the game between the Sharks and the Kings. The NHL was originally reportedly looking to hold four outdoor games, including the Winter Classic.[3] Besides Levi's Stadium, other possible sites for the Stadium Series games included Coors Field (Denver),[4] Gillette Stadium (Foxborough, Massachusetts),[5] Target Field (Minneapolis),[6] Beaver Stadium (Pennsylvania State University),[7] and an as-yet-unnamed venue in the Phoenix area.[8] Foxborough, Minneapolis and Denver will instead host 2016 outdoor contests.[9]
Game summary
Kings goalie Jonathan Quick stopped 31 of 32 shots in the win. Kyle Clifford got Los Angeles on the board first at 2:46 in the first period. Brent Burns then scored the equalizer for the Sharks at 18:56 late in the first period. After a scoreless second period, Marian Gaborik scored at 4:04 in the third period in what proved to be the game-winning goal for the Kings.[10]
