3 STARS
1. Dustin Brown
The Kings captain was electric in the first period, scoring the opening goal and assisting on two more as his emotion and hard-nosed play allowed the home team to take over the game from the start.
2. Jeff Carter
The Kings forward scored two big goals, the second coming in the second period and giving the Kings breathing room with a 4-0 lead.
3. Jonathan Quick
The Conn Smythe-winning goaltender was solid whenever his team needed him, finishing with 17 saves.
TURNING POINT
With 10:10 gone by in a scoreless first period, Devils forward Steve Bernier chased Kings defenseman Rob Scuderi behind the L.A. net and planted him face-first into the glass. Bernier received a five-minute major and a game misconduct, and on the ensuing power play the Kings scored three times, allowing them to go into intermission with a comfortable 3-0 lead.
TO QUOTE....
“I wish I could take that play back. I didn’t want to hurt my team. I wanted to help them. This is extremely hard. It’s been a long playoff run for us. To finish on that note, it’s not fun for sure. But there’s nothing I can do now.”
