The Kings tied the game 2:08 after Phoenix’s goal, on an alert tip-in by Brad Richardson. Kevin Westgarth took a medium-range shot with Anze Kopitar in front for a deflection, and Ilya Bryzgalov made a stop but the puck trickled behind him slightly. Richardson spotted it and tapped it over the line to tie the game 1-1.
Phoenix then took the lead back just 1:41 later, at the 9:20 mark. Keith Yandle carried the puck into the Kings’ zone, and around Drew Doughty, then fed a cross-ice pass to Ray Whitney. Whitney beat Jack Johnson to the puck and one-timed it past Quick to give Phoenix a 2-1 lead.
Kings goal: Heads up play. Keep proving me wrong Westgarth. I love it.
Score: Jack Johnson 2 – Kings 1

@wavesinair,
Not a fan of blaming one player, but jeez, no defensive coverage on the backside–no question about that!

Tie game, now lets clean it up

Good thing they scored on the power play. I was going to say they look more tentative than they have recently, but you probably have to give credit to Phoenix’s kill, since it’s one of Tippett’s fortes. Still, they did score.

What’s going on in Phonenix? Sounds like a defensive nightmare

Greener totally prevented Quick from making the save! What’s with the D-men tonight?

Seems to be mostly that thing about playing solidly after scoring.

Whoever blinks first loses. We just need to survive the first period down by only 1 or 2, settle down on the intermission, then take it to them.
