The Sharks topped the Kings 6-1 on Monday night to lock up their fourth straight Pacific Division title.
"We have a pretty darned good division, so it's a feather in your cap," Joe Thornton said. "But we still have some work to do. We're still fighting to get that second seed. But it's a good step for us."
Thornton had a goal and an assist to give him 999 career points.
