1st Period
Th Rangers has a flashing start and after 51 seconds they got the lead with a Zuccarello's goal with a perfect slap shot in front of the net but the Kings reacted very well putting pressure on their opponents with an effective forecheck so they started to have good scoring chances, the biggest one on the stick of Lewis alone in from of the net but Talbot answered great something that didn't happen some minutes later on the Regehr's shot that tied the game. LA continued to forced the Rangers to make turnovers and this gave them a good shot advantage in matter of numbers and quality.
2nd Period
The visitors continued to establish their game with their forecheck along with a very good discipline on the ice, they continued to shot more than their opponents and this paid off when Williams regained the possession of the puck and quickly gave it to Kopitar who assisted Gaborik who score the go ahead goal. With 13:50 left LA got a PP but the Rangers didn't let them establish the possession in the offensive zone, same ting happened to the NY's PP some minutes later.
3rd Period
Very fast start by the defending champions that scored with Carter from the goal crease thanks to a perfect assist by King from the left wing, they continued their dominance with a PP where they "score a phantom goal" that the refs denied, the Kings got the 3 goals lead with a Muzzin's goal from the high circle with a powerful snap shot very well assisted by Kopitar after an elegant move behind the net. NY tried to get back in the game but it was too late when Hayes score with a wrist shot.
My 3 stars of the game:
1 Quick
2 Kopitar
3 Regehr
