The Los Angeles Kings stormed back after falling behind 2-0 to the Chicago Blackhawks, scoring six straight goals to take Game Two, tying the series at one game apiece. Jeff Carter was the scoring force for the Kings, with a hat trick and an assist, all in the third period. Carter now has 16 points in 16 playoff games and, over the past three years, has 42 playoff points, ranking second only to Anze Kopitar. Carter is having success centering a line with rookies Tanner Pearson and Tyler Toffoli on his wings. Pearson had a couple of assists in Game Two and Toffoli scored the Kings fourth goal. Pearson and Toffoli each have nine points in the postseason, one behind Nathan MacKinnon and Torey Krug for the rookie lead in the playoffs. Pearson has been particularly efficient in terms of points per minute of ice time. Chicago appeared to have the game well in hand, holding a 2-0 lead with a couple minutes left in the second period, but Justin Williams scored a goal off a seemingly inoccuous play to get the Kings on the board with 1:40 remaining in the second, then Los Angeles scored a pair of power play goals in the first 4:04 of the third period to turn the game upside down. Kings D Alec Martinez had an assist, but was also on the ice for 18 shot attempts for and seven against (72.0%) during 5-on-5 play. With Martinez off the ice, the Kings got 39.1% of the 5-on-5 shot attempts. At the same time, the Kings top defence pairing of Drew Doughty and Jake Muzzin were both on for less than 30% of the shot attempts at 5-on-5. Chicagos possession leader was LW Brandon Saad (13 attempts for, four against, 76.5%), while RW Kris Versteeg and C Peter Regin were at the other end of the spectrum, both under 25% in possession terms. Kings G Jonathan Quick stopped 23 of 25 shots, making some crucial saves when the game was 2-0 for Chicago and a third goal might put the game out of reach. Blackhawks G Corey Crawford allowed five goals in a game for the first time since November 16. Its not a surprise that the Kings power play made a difference -- their 24.1% success rate in the playoffs is best among the final four teams -- but the surprise is seeing the Blackhawks penalty killing unit get lit up for a pair of goals. Prior to Game Two, Chicagos penalty kill had allowed four goals on 48 power plays, 91.7%, so to suddenly allow two within 2:27 in the third period was highly unusual -- Chicago had allowed two power play goals against once in the previous 61 (regular season plus playoff) games. While the manner in which it happened could be considered surprising, it should be expected that the Kings will give the Blackhawks all they can handle. These are two elite teams and neither figures to go quietly, but now the advantage goes to the Kings who, with the split in Chicago, have gained home-ice advantage.

Thats the feeling that eight Canadian Football League teams are experiencing right now in advance of the expansion draft to stock the Ottawa Redblacks.The Ottawa Senators will take to the ice against the Montreal Canadiens Thursday night without Captain Jason Spezza. The 30-year-old centre is taking a cautious approach to an injury he described as a strain, without disclosing the location of the injury. "[Im] just kind of dealing with a little bit of a strain. Just want to make sure we deal with so it doesnt become something that lingers," Spezza told reporters on Thursday. "I think I should be okay," he added. "Thats why we are taking the precautions now. As much as Id like to be playing in these ones and getting ready, the ones in October mean a lot more." Senators coach Paul MacLean told TSN Ottawa reporter Brett Wallace that Spezza could play tonight if he had to. Spezza was named the fifth full-time captain in the modern history of the Senators this off-season after Daniel Alfredsson signed with the Detroit Red Wings as an unrestricted free agent.dddddddddddd. The Mississauga-native has appeared in two games for the Senators so far this preseason, registering one assist. He acknowledged that the preseason afforded him time to carefully nurse the injury. Spezza was limited to just five games in the shortened 2012-13 season due to a back injury. "I just strained something in practice and [am] just making sure it is taken care of," Spezza said. "If I feel like there is any chance of straining it a lot more then Im not going to play just to play and jeopardize not being ready for the first game of the year," he added. ' ' '
