SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Even when they found themselves in a
3-0 series deficit to San Jose, the Los Angeles Kings
never doubted they had what it takes to mount a memorable
comeback. Thats what winning a Stanley Cup together two
years earlier can do for a teams confidence and thats how
a lack of post-season success can eat away at anothers
psyche. Anze Kopitar scored the tiebreaking goal late in
the second period and Jonathan Quick made 39 saves to cap
the Kings historic comeback from three games down with a
5-1 victory over the Sharks in Game 7 of their first-
round series Wednesday night. "When youve gone to the top
of the mountain with the same group of guys its a little
bit easier when youre at the bottom to come up," said
captain Dustin Brown, who scored an empty-net goal to
seal the game. "Thats what a lot of this team is about,
our guys who have stuck together and played together for
years." Drew Doughty, Tyler Toffoli and Tanner Pearson
also scored for the Kings, who became the fourth NHL team
to win a best-of-seven series after losing the first
three games. The Kings joined Toronto (1942), the New
York Islanders (1975) and Philadelphia (2010) as the only
teams to complete that comeback and now will get another
California showdown in the second-round with the first
Freeway Playoff against the Anaheim Ducks. "Thats
fantastic," Doughty said. "This is something were all
going to remember for the rest of our lives. Were not
done yet. We have to move on." Matt Irwin scored the lone
goal and Antti Niemi made 25 saves for the Sharks, who
added perhaps their most bitter playoff disappointment to
a history of them. San Jose has the second most regular-
season wins in the NHL the past 10 seasons but has never
made it past the conference finals. "This is as low as
its been for me, and for the players that have been
together for the six years that Ive been here," coach
Todd McLellan said. The way the Sharks started this
series by outscoring the Kings 17-8 to win the first
three games, it looked as if this could finally be their
year. But Joe Thornton, Patrick Marleau and the rest of
their stars went mostly missing the final four games, the
power play could not convert on its final 15 chances and
the defence made too many lapses, leading to their second
straight Game 7 loss to their California rivals. "Theres
been a lot of low points, but yeah, this is definitely
one of them being up 3-0," Marleau said. The Sharks took
their first lead since Game 3 in the opening minute of
the second when Irwins point shot beat Quick through a
screen to provide a jolt to the crowd that only got
bigger when San Jose drew a penalty less than a minute
later. But a hooking call on Tommy Wingels negated that
power play and Logan Couture then got called for an
elbowing penalty, giving Los Angeles a two-man advantage
for 6 seconds. Before Wingels could get back into the
play, Doughty tied it when he beat Niemi from the faceoff
circle. The Sharks had three more power plays in the
second period to give them a chance to go back ahead, but
Los Angeles killed every one of them with Quick robbing
Marleau with a glove save on the goal line to thwart San
Joses best chance. "Those were obviously critical," Kings
coach Darryl Sutter said. "Jonathan was able to make that
one highlight save. I think that gave us a little
momentum." That save was emblematic of a remarkable
turnaround this series for Quick, who allowed 16 goals
the first three games but held the Sharks to just five
over the final four wins. The Kings responded after the
fourth penalty kill when last years Game 7 hero Justin
Williams found Kopitar, who made a nifty move to beat
Niemi with a backhand to give him points in all seven
games this series. "Drew, Quickie and Kopi were our three
best players tonight," Brown said. "You win and lose with
your best players." The Sharks lost because their core
players came up empty late in the series with Irwin and
third-liner James Sheppard getting the only goals in the
final three games. "I think their defence just swallowed
us up right now, to be honest with you," Thornton said.
"They just played real tight defensively and their
goaltender got hot like he usually does this time of the
year." NOTES: The Kings became the fifth team to beat the
same opponent in Game 7 in consecutive seasons. ... Both
teams were without a key defenceman as San Joses Marc-
Edouard Vlasic missed his second straight game with an
upper-body injury and Willie Mitchell was out for Los
Angeles after getting hurt in Game 6.

Ont. -- The Hamilton Bulldogs scored four unanswered
goals in the third period en route to a 6-2 victory over
the Lake Erie Monsters in American Hockey League play
Sunday. Gabriel Dumont had two goals and an assist, and
Patrick Holland also had a three-point night for the
Bulldogs (12-10-3) with one goal and two assists. Nick
Tarnasky, Stefan Fournier and Louis Leblanc also scored
for Hamilton, and Robert Mayer made 28 saves. Bryan Lerg
and Markus Lauridsen had goals for the Monsters (12-10-
1). Calvin Pickard stopped 22 shots in a losing effort.
With the win, Hamilton climbed to first place in the AHLs
North Division. A subdued start to Sundays game saw the
two teams combine for just six shots on goal through the
first ten minutes of play. But after successfully killing
two penalties, the Bulldogs took advantage of their first
power-play opportunity of the afternoon to open the
scoring at 14:20 of the first period. Dumont shovelled
the puck toward Pickard on the backhand, and he kicked it
out wide and into the path of St. Pierre on the right.
The wingers wrist shot never made it through a screen,
but the loose puck bounced back to Dumont, who made good
on his second attempt. The Monsters had their best chance
to level the game at a goal apiece with four minutes to
play in the period. Breaking into the offensive zone with
a 3-on-1 advantage, Lake Erie forced a pad save from
Mayer before hitting the far post with the follow-up
shot. Hamilton doubled its lead early in the second
period, striking at 5:06 when Darren Dietz shot from the
point hit Lake Erie defender Matt Hunwick in front of the
net and fell to Tarnasky. The winger turned and swept a
low shot toward Pickard that trickled through the
goaltenders legs and in. A moment of rage from Mike
Blunden cost the Bulldogs, as the winger retaliated after
being checked from behind and was assessed three minor
penalties at 13:29 of the second.dddddddddddd With a six-
minute power play ahead of them, the Monsters wasted
little time finding their first goal of the afternoon.
Hunwick controlled the puck along the blue-line and
released a rising shot that Lerg tipped down and past
Mayer at 14:31 of the second period. Hamiltons task was
made easier when Lake Eries Garrett Meurs was penalized
for hooking, eliminating two minutes from the Bulldogs
extended penalty kill. Mayer made several saves as the
Bulldogs survived the stretch without conceding a tying
goal. Insurance arrived for the Bulldogs when Holland
struck to restore their two-goal lead at 2:50 of the
third period. Jordan Owens fought off a defender and
centred the puck from the right, and Holland bent to meet
the puck and one-timed it past Pickard at the near post.
It was the wingers third goal, and fifth point, in five
games since returning from injury. Hamilton scored its
fourth goal of the afternoon just 48 seconds later, as
Stefan Fournier struck for his first professional goal at
3:38 of the third period. The winger was stationed in
front of Pickards crease and corralled a rebound before
shifting to his backhand and sliding it past the
goaltender. With Hamilton on the power play, Dumont
pounced on a loose puck for his second goal and third
point of the game at 9:41 of the third period. Leblanc
stretched Hamiltons lead to five goals when he tipped
Maxime Macenauers wrist shot past Pickard at 15:21 of the
third. Lauridsen found a consolation goal for the
Monsters with 44 seconds to play, firing a high wrist
shot past Mayer.
