Clifford's goal the difference in Kings' win over Lightning
Hockey Betting Lines
02/07/2012 -
Tampa, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Kyle Clifford scored the eventual game-winner
midway through the second period as the Los Angeles Kings skated past the
Tampa Bay Lightning, 3-1, at Tampa Bay Times Forum.
Anze Kopitar and Dustin Penner also scored for the Kings, who got 24 saves
from Jonathan Quick in the victory to snap a two-game skid.
Steven Stamkos notched his league-leading 35th goal for the Lightning and
Dwayne Roloson stopped 17-of-20 shots in a losing effort. The Lightning have
now lost two of their last three contests after winning five straight.
Clifford's game-winner came at 10:16 of the second period as a result of a
blown coverage by the Lightning.
With the puck deep in their defensive zone, Kings defenseman Rob Scuderi
warded off some pressure and spotted Clifford coming out of the penalty box.
Scuderi sent a home run pass up the middle of the ice right to the tape of
Clifford, who went in alone on Roloson and backhanded it through the legs of
the Lightning netminder.
The Kings extended their lead to 3-1 at 17:46 of the second frame when Mike
Richards warded off his defender behind the net, wheeled out front and found
Penner, who ripped a quick wrist shot past Roloson.
Tampa pulled Roloson with a minute remaining in regulation, but was unable to
generate any good scoring chances.
Los Angeles opened the scoring just 2:47 into the game when Justin Williams
ripped a slap shot from the right point right to the tape of Kopitar, who
cleverly deflected the puck over the left pad of Roloson.
The Lightning tied it up at 7:49 of the second period with some excellent play
off the rush.
Teddy Purcell pushed the puck out to the neutral zone and raced up the left
wing. He gained the blue line and went in on a 2-on-1 rush with Stamkos.
Purcell glided to the left circle before sliding the puck over to Stamkos, who
converted an easy tap-in for the goal.
