>>Kings Top Devils, Move Closer To Crown

(Los Angeles, CA)  --  The Los Angeles Kings moved to within one win of hoisting the Stanley Cup with a 4-0 victory over the New Jersey Devils.  Jonathan Quick turned back 22 shots for L.A., which will host Game Four on Wednesday with a chance to win its first Stanley Cup in franchise history.  Quick posted his third shutout of the postseason for the Kings, who improved to 15-and-2 in this year's playoffs.  Alec Martinez and Anze Kopitar found the back of the net in the second period before Jeff Carter and Justin Williams buried power-play scores in the third.  Kopitar and Williams each added an assist for the Kings.  Martin Brodeur made 17 saves for the Devils, who finished 0-for-6 on the power play in the loss.  Only the 1942 Toronto Maple Leafs recovered from a 3-0 series deficit to win a Stanley Cup Final when they did so over the Detroit Red Wings.
