Miller in the first minute of the game that had the fans at Madison Square on their feet. It was Robyn Regehr who responded for the Kings. He scored a wrist shot goal off a fortunate bounce that was assisted by Kyle Clifford. That was all the scoring in the period as the period ended 1-1.
In the second is Marian Gaborik who put a slap shot through the net that was assisted by Anze Kopitar and Justin Williams and the Kings never looked back. Heading into the third and the game still in the balance Kings waited anxiously to see which Kings team would show in the third.
Jeff Carter and Dwight King connected on a beautiful play at the start of the third period. This game the Kings a 3-1 lead and then it was Jake Muzzin who put his name in the score sheet. He scored a wrist shot goal that was assisted by Kopitar and Trevor Lewis and just like that the Kings were up 4-1.
