Jeff Carter recorded his first career playoff
hat trick while Jonathan Quick stopped 24 shots for his second shutout this
postseason as the Los Angeles Kings blanked the Phoenix Coyotes, 4-0, in Game
2 of the Western Conference finals. Dwight King also scored for the Kings, who
took both games in Phoenix and will look to take a stranglehold on the series
in Los Angeles on Thursday. The victory marked the Kings' seventh straight
road win in these playoffs, tying the 2010 Chicago Blackhawks for the NHL
record for consecutive road wins in a single postseason. Mike Smith allowed
all four goals on 40 shots in the loss.
