LOS ANGELES -- Defenseman Brayden McNabb scored the go-ahead goal, and the Los Angeles Kings closed their season with a 4-1 victory over the San Jose Sharks on Saturday at Staples Center.

Right winger Marian Gaborik added a goal, his 22nd this season, at 9:27 of the third period to help Los Angeles end a three-game skid. Left winger Andy Andreoff, who also had an assist, delivered an empty-netter with 44 seconds remaining in the game.

Goalie Jonathan Quick recorded 20 saves as the Kings (40-27-15) wrapped up the season by winning their 40th game for the fifth time in the last six seasons.

Los Angeles is 9-1-1 in its last 11 games at Staples against San Jose.

Goaltender Alex Stalock stopped 32 of 35 shots for the Sharks (40-33-9), who dropped three of their last four games.

Neither team is headed to the playoffs.

McNabb scored the go-ahead goal at 6:03 of the third period on an assist from defenseman Drew Doughty and center Jeff Carter for a 2-1 advantage. For McNabb, it was his second goal of the season.

Defenseman Brent Burns put the Sharks on the board less than two minutes into the game.

After defenseman Robyn Regehr skated off for interference, Burns converted a pass from center Joe Pavelski and scored a power-play goal at 1:38 of the first period for a 1-0 San Jose lead.

It was Burns 16th goal of the season.

Los Angeles tied the score at 1-1 midway through the second period. Center Jarret Stoll failed to corral a rebound of a miss by Andreoff. However, center Tyler Toffoli gathered the loose puck just outside the crease and punched it past Stalock for his 23rd goal this season at 10:47.

Andreoff, who was playing in his 18th NHL game, earned his first career assist on the goal. His goal was only the second of his career.
