Once again, the teams traded goals, this time within 34 seconds.
First, the Coyotes took a 4-2 lead on a power-play goal with 4:26 remaining. Brett MacLean beat Michal Handzus to the front of the net, took a perfect cross-ice pass from Upshall and tapped it past Quick to give the Coyotes a two-goal lead.
It lasted less than a minute. Anze Kopitar attempted a wraparound that was saved, but with Bryzgalov almost fully inside his net, and a scramble in front of him, Kopitar picked up the rebound and shot high. The puck deflected off Marco Sturm and into the net to cut Phoenix’s lead to 4-3 with 3:53 remaining in the period.
Unreal. It’s defenseman give-away night in Arizona.
Nice bank shot off the Sturminator!

As “exciting” as this is, it’s not Kings hockey. They need to settle it down.

Thank God for Yahoo sports.
Kings need to settle down the game a bit.
[Reply]
That is why Jonathan Bernier is probably the number one Goalie. Not Quick.
