L.A. Kings shock Sharks with 2 late goals; Utahn Trevor Lewis scores game-winner

LOS ANGELES — Although Trevor Lewis knows all about postseason heroics after scoring two goals in a Stanley Cup-clinching victory last season, even he was a bit overwhelmed by the Los Angeles Kings’ latest spectacular playoff feat.

With three minutes left, the San Jose Sharks appeared to be cruising toward a well-deserved win. After two penalties and two dynamic power-play goals, including the winner from Lewis, the Kings were halfway to the Western Conference finals.

Sixteen teams begin the run for the Stanley Cup

Sixteen teams will have a chance to win the Stanley Cup as the playoffs begin. Most, if not all, genuinely believe they can do it. And, if history counts for anything, they should. No postseason tournament is more grueling or unpredictable, and any advantage gained over the course of a regular season can be wiped out by 60 subpar minutes.

Parlaying regular-season excellence to a Stanley Cup can be tougher than translating Finnish to Hindi.

L.A. Kings primed to defend Stanley Cup title

LOS ANGELES — Jonathan Quick stood at the edge of the rink and looked up at the Staples Center roof. Several large banners were rolled up tight against the rafters, just waiting to be unfurled.

Although the new ice was chilly, the Los Angeles Kings goalie warmed up at the sight.

“It’ll be good to see those,” Quick said. “And then we can finally put it out of our minds and get back to work.”

Captain Parise does it all to lead Cup-hungry Devils

NEWARK, N.J. -- In the next month or so, New Jersey Devils captain Zach Parise is going to strike it rich -- somewhere.

The 27-year-old Parise, who can became a free agent next month unless he re-signs with New Jersey, is one of those players that every team wants. He scores goals, works hard, is a good skater and is relentless on the ice. Nothing is more important to him than his team and winning.
