The Los Angeles Kings took advantage of their breaks in Game Three and goaltender Jonathan Quick was terrific, stopping all 32 shots he faced, as the Kings downed the Rangers 3-0 to take a 3-0 stranglehold in the series. Game Three opened with a brilliant pace, as the Rangers and Kings played a back-and-forth first period with very few whistles. It looked like it was going to end up scoreless through one when Kings C Jeff Carter buried a 2-on-1 with Justin Williams, his wrist shot deflecting in off a sliding Dan Girardi with 0.7 seconds remaining in the first period. A backbreaking goal for a Rangers team already down two games in the series. With Rangers D Marc Staal in the penalty box, for high-sticking, Kings D Jake Muzzin scored a power play goal early in the second period to create some breathing room. Muzzins goal was on the power play, but was a wrist shot from just inside the blueline that deflected in off Rangers RW Martin St. Louis. Two goals on two attempted blocked shots and this left the Rangers, down a couple of goals, to press. Late in the second period, Kings C Mike Richards broke out on a 2-on-1 with RW Trevor Lewis, and after Rangers D Ryan McDonagh blocked Richards attempted pass, Richards found the puck back on his stick and finished it off to give the Kings a 3-0 lead. The proverbial dagger. The Rangers had many chances -- they outshot the Kings 17-8 in the second period, then 11-2 in the third, once the deficit was virtually insurmountable -- but they couldnt get the puck past Quick. His 32-save shutout was his best of a postseason that hasnt been Quicks best. Even with the Game Three shutout, Quick has a .910 save percentage in 24 games, but the Rangers best chance to pull off an upset in the series was going to be if Henrik Lundqvist outdueled Quick and that hasnt happened. In Game Three, the Kings won while registering a season-low 15 shots on goal. The playoff scoring race didnt see any change at the top, or at least similar change as Anze Kopitar, Jeff Carter, Justin Williams and Marian Gaborik each had a single point. Kopitar leads the postseason with 26 points, two ahead of Carter and Williams, five ahead of Gaborik. Williams, making his late charge for the Conn Smythe, had six points (1 G, 5 A) in the series. There may not have been a better example of the Rangers frustration in Game Three than to see RW Rick Nash, who has just three goals in the playoffs, creating chances -- he had a game-high seven shot attempts -- but coming up empty at every turn. In one second period sequence, Nash attacked on the rush, was stopped by Quick, stayed on the puck, gathered control behind the Kings net and as he attempted a wrap-around, was hooked by Kings D Drew Doughty to prevent the goal. It was a smart play by Doughty in the moment and, given the Rangers power play struggles (2-for-30, 6.7% in the past seven games), it was sensible, even in desperation. Game Three was a fine example of why a team like the Rangers, the underdog coming in, couldnt afford to lose a pair of overtime games. Sure, the Rangers could have easily won one of the first two games in Los Angeles and come home even, but they didnt. Then, they had a game in which the bounces totally went in the Kings direction and, just like that, the series is 3-0 and that should be just about that. In 26 previous Stanley Cup Final series in which a team has taken a 3-0 lead, only the 1942 Toronto Maple Leafs managed to overcome the deficit. Thats what the Rangers are left with. Long, virtually impossible odds, in a series that (aside from the third period of Game One) they have played relatively even throughout. Maybe the Rangers deserved a better fate, but they are left needing a miracle and its pretty tough to count on miracles when the other guys are getting the bounces.

This should be celebrated because it will not always be this way. With the amount of money given to players by their clubs these days, it is a wonder that so many of those teams allow the sport to continue to take away many of their assets so they can play for a different team in the middle of their season. Mark Recchi Penguins Jersey .m. ET, CBSOPENING LINE — Falcons by 3 1/2RECORD VS. Pittsburgh Penguins Jerseys . - The Pittsburgh Pirates plan on keeping promising left fielder Starling Marte playing alongside National League MVP Andrew McCutchen for years to come.VANCOUVER - B.C. coach Mike Benevides was not shedding much light on his roster as the Lions prepared for Saturdays game against the Ottawa Redblacks — but one thing was already clear.The injury-riddled Lions must attempt to improve their playoff hopes without some key regulars for the second straight game. B.C., fourth in the West Division, is seeking to end a three-game losing streak, while the Redblacks aim to build momentum after a rare win, over Winnipeg, last weekend.(The injury situation) certainly presents a challenge, just the challenge of: You cant replace experience, Benevides said Friday after his teams walk-through at B.C. Place Stadium. You cant replace a person or a man thats been in that situation before and that knows how to deal with the clutch catch to get in game-winning field position or being in the clutch position when the balls in the air — as a cornerback, as a rookie — to go make that play.But, again, its a challenge. Its one that I relish and, certainly, there are a lot of examples of our young people really being successful. Weve been able to win with those young people.Benevides said he has several game-time decisions to make. The most notable question mark is wide receiver Emmanuel Arceneaux, who appeared in uniform at the walk-through and told reporters he is preparing to play.I have full confidence in the guys that are going to play, regardless of who it is, said Lions quarterback Kevin Glenn. They wouldnt be here if they didnt have the ability. But now its just about going out and making plays as far as the receivers are concerned.The Lions (7-7) will play without key receiver Courtney Taylor and Andrew Harris, who are both out for the season, running back Stefan Logan and receiver Bryan Burnham. Defensively, they will be missing cornerbacks Dante Marsh and Ronnie Yell.This is an opportunity for guys to step up, said receiver Shawn Gore. Its an opportunity for us to change the way things have gone.Unlike in past seasons, the Lions have struggled at home, posting a modest 3-4 record at B.ddddddddddddC. Place. The hosts are looking to capitalize on home-field advantage against a Redblacks (2-11) club that has yet to win its first road game.B.C. also wants to improve on their last meeting in Ottawa on Sept. 5. The Lions escaped with a 7-5 victory in the lowest-scoring CFL game in 35 years, which was interrupted by a thunderstorm.Bearing that performance in mind, Gore and fellow receiver Marco Iannuzzi are looking for the Lions to start making some long gains off single plays after struggling to get into the end zone most of the season.Obviously, we dont want to play like we did (against Ottawa) last time, said Iannuzzi. It wasnt an explosive game. We need to come up with big plays.Meanwhile, Redblacks quarterback Henry Burris feels his team is going in the right direction following its 42-20 win over Winnipeg. Ottawa hopes to keep its seemingly remote playoff hopes alive with a strong performance.Burris will complete one milestone as he makes his 200th career CFL start. He is also one touchdown pass away from moving into sole possession of third place all-time among CFL quarterbacks. Currently, Burris is tied with the late Ron Lancaster at 333.Burris welcomes the chance to play the role of spoiler against the Lions.Hey, if we play the spoiler, then so be it, because right now weve had people spoil our party in many different ways, said Burris.Notes: Ottawa defensive lineman Keith Shologan is slated to play in his 100th career game. … The Lions have not allowed touchdowns in two straight games. ... Levasier Tuinei, who signed as a free agent with B.C. in July, is a candidate to replace Arceneaux if he cant play. … The Redblacks have two players named Jonathan Williams, one on defence and one on offence. Williams the defensive lineman wont play because of a leg injury. The other Williams, the fifth starting running back used this season, will try to excel again after posting a single-season high of 229 yards from scrimmage against Winnipeg.
