June 2 postgame notes

-The Kings have one win in their last 14 road games.
-The Kings fell to 18-25 overall in Game 2s. When the Kings have lost a Game 2, they have gone on to win 5-of-24 series. The Kings have won 2-of-11 best-of-seven series in which they faced an 0-2 deficit: 2001 Western Conference Quarterfinals vs Detroit (LA wins 4-2) and the 2013 Western Conference Quarterfinals vs St. Louis (LA wins 4-2).
-Jonathan Bernier made his postseason debut. Prior to tonight’s game, the last goalie other than Jonathan Quick to take part in a Kings playoff game was Erik Ersberg, who allowed two goals on four shots in relief of Quick in a 7-2 loss to Vancouver in Game 5 of the Kings-Canucks first round series on April 23, 2010.
-The Kings trailed by three goals in a game (and by four goals) for the first time since a 5-1 loss in Dallas on April 9.
-Slava Voynov has five points (1-4=5) in his last five games. His two assists tonight marked the first time this postseason he registered points in a loss. He took four shots, had three attempts blocked and registered six hits in 25:01 of ice time.
-Dwight King was a minus-2, did not register a shot and was credited with one hit in 14:10 of ice time.
-Since Anze Kopitar scored in the second period of a 5-4 win at Chicago on March 25, he has scored two goals in the 31 games that have followed.
-Los Angeles’ 46 hits were the most registered by a Chicago opponent in the postseason.
-The Kings won 31-of-61 faceoffs. Jeff Carter won 11-of-15 faceoffs. Jarret Stoll won 8-of-14 faceoffs. Anze Kopitar won 9-of-21 faceoffs. Jonathan Toews won 11-of-23 faceoffs for the Blackhawks.
-Kyle Clifford’s 7:55 of ice time was his 2013 playoff-low.
