Drew Doughty - D - Kings

Coach Darryl Sutter was not happy with the play of his defenseman, save for the effort of Drew Doughty.

Doughty was a stud on the blueline once again as he played a team-leading 28:28 minutes and scored a power play goal, his second goal of the post-season. "Our defense can clearly do a better job at that (getting more involved in the play), other than Doughty last night," coach Darryl Sutter said. "I think he had . . .maybe nine total attempts, and he had five shots. After that, we were. . .not nearly as involved, or what we were getting from the outside from some guys that are looked on as goal scorers or shooters for their team, what they were doing in the series – things like that." Game 3 will be played on Saturday with the Kings leading two games to none.

Anze Kopitar - C - Kings

Anze Kopitar needed stitches after being struck in the face by the puck Thursday, but he's otherwise fine.

Kopitar left the game briefly, but was able to return. "They numbed me up pretty good right after for stitches, so I didn’t really feel anything," Kopitar said. "So it wasn’t too bad. But after it wore off, it was sore a little bit but nothing too bad." Needless to say, he's expected to play Saturday.

Dustin Brown - W - Kings

Dustin Brown scored a power-play goal in the Kings' 4-3 victory on Thursday.

Brown has been quiet in the playoffs from an offensive production standpoint, but perhaps this is a turning point. He was one of Los Angeles' heroes last year with eight goals and 20 points in their Stanley Cup winning run.

Brad Richardson - W - Kings

As expected, Brad Richardson was inserted into the Kings' lineup on Thursday due to the injury to Jarret Stoll.

"I thought he was nervous," Kings coach Darryl Sutter remarked. Richardson recorded an assist and three hits, but also finished the night with a minus-one rating. He logged 11:00 minutes of playing time.

Darryl Sutter - C - Kings

Kings coach Darryl Sutter didn't have a problem with his team's efforts in their come-from-behind 4-3 victory on Thursday.

Los Angeles scored two power-play goals in the final two minutes of play in part thanks to Marc-Edouard Vlasic's controversial delay of game penalty. That might lead to remarks that the Kings got lucky in this contest, but when Sutter was asked if he had concerns about his team's performance, he fired back. "Every question you ask – we shouldn’t have even won a game yet," Sutter said. "When you go to 16 teams in the playoffs, there’s a good chance the other team is going to be leading a game at some point. I have yet to have a series or a game where you totally control the whole game. I was hoping the experience of you watching that you’d grab onto that. We’re playing a really good hockey club, and there’s a good chance they’re going to have momentum, too." Seven of the Kings' eight playoff contests have been decided by a single goal.

Jeff Carter - W - Kings

Jeff Carter had a goal and an assist in Game 2 on Thursday.

Carter has four goals and six points over the last five contests. He was a dominate goal scorer in the regular season, but also a hot/cold player. Right now he's on fire and the Kings are reaping the benefits.

Mike Richards - C - Kings

Mike Richards recorded an assist in the Kings' 4-3 win Thursday.

Jonathan Quick - G - Kings

Jonathan Quick stopped 28 shots as the Los Angeles Kings defeated the San Jose Sharks 4-3 to take a 2-0 series lead.

Quick was up 2-0 before giving up three straight goals to the Sharks but a great comeback by the Kings with less than two minutes remaining gave Quick his sixth win in the 2013 Stanley Cup playoffs. Quick is now 6-2 this postseason with a 1.56 GAA and a .947 save percentage, both good enough for third spot among goaltenders in the playoffs.

Trevor Lewis - W - Kings

Trevor Lewis scored the winner with 1:21 left in the third period to give the Los Angeles Kings a 4-3 win in Game 2 of the Western Conference semi-finals.

The goal capped a furious comeback by the Kings who were down 3-2 with less than two minutes to go but a couple of San Jose penalties gave the Kings a two-man advantage and Dustin Brown scored at the 18:17 mark of the third to tie it up. The Kings were still on the power play when Lewis scored the winner 22 seconds later. The Kings got off to a 2-0 lead on goals by Jeff Carter and Drew Doughty. Los Angeles was great on the power play, scoring three times on six opportunities. It was Lewis's first goal of the playoffs.

Anze Kopitar - C - Kings

Anze Kopitar has returned to action.

Kopitar took a shot off his face but with the Kings down 3-2 in the third, he quickly returned to the bench when there was no obvious injury and is now back on the ice.
