The Kings captured the Stanley Cup for the first time in franchise history with a 6-1 win over the Devils in Game Six of the Final. Dustin Brown, Jeff Carter and Trevor Lewis all scored during a five-minute power play in the first period. Carter added another score just 1:30 into the second period to give L.A. a 4-0 lead. Lewis and Matt Greene also scored in the third period in the one-sided affair.
Jonathan Quick made 17 saves for the Kings, who are the first eight-seed to ever hoist the Stanley Cup. Quick was awarded the Conn Smythe Trophy as the Most Valuable Player in this year's playoffs. Adam Henrique had New Jersey's only goal in the second period. Martin Brodeur [[ mar-tan bro-DURE ]] stopped 19 shots for the Devils, who were trying to become the only team other than the 1942 Maple Leafs to overcome a 3-0 series deficit.
