The Los Angeles Kings jumped out to a 3-0 first-period lead and the Chicago Blackhawks couldnt catch them, with the Kings taking a 5-2 decision in Game Four to take a 3-1 lead in the series. Abraham Toro Jersey . Kings D Jake Muzzin scored the first of two power play goals for the Kings. Playing more than 21 minutes per game in the playoffs, Muzzin now has 11 points, placing him third among defencemen in the postseason. Not bad for a guy who didnt hook on with an NHL club until the Kings signed him during his overage junior season in Sault Ste. Marie. Four years later, Muzzin is on the top defence pairing for a team closing in on the Western Conference title. Muzzin is paired with Drew Doughty, who also had a goal and an assist in Game Four (though his goal appeared to be deflected in by Dwight King) and leads defencemen with 14 points in the playoffs. Game Four was so well in hand for the Kings that they could limit Doughtys ice time; 23:55 was Doughtys lowest ice time since Game Two of the playoffs (after which he complained about his lack of ice time). For once, the Blackhawks didnt get burned by the line of Jeff Carter, Tanner Pearson and Tyler Toffoli, until Pearson scored into an empty net, though Pearson had a team-high seven shot attempts and tied Carter with a team-leading four shots on goal. The bad news for Chicago is that the Kings other top scorers got on track. Marian Gaborik scored a goal while Anze Kopitar and Justin Williams each picked up a couple of assists; Kopitar extending his playoff scoring lead with 22 points and Gaborik leads all playoff goal-scorers, with 10. In their ultimately fruitless attempt to come back, the Blackhawks chances were created by their power forwards. Marian Hossa, Bryan Bickell and Brandon Sadd had nine, eight and seven shot attempts, respectively, to lead the Blackhawks. Saad and Bickell scored Chicagos goals. Chicagos leaders, C Jonathan Toews and RW Patrick Kane, skated together for most of the game, as the Blackhawks tried to shake up lines and it didnt really work. While both assisted on Bickells third-period goal, Toews didnt register a shot on goal (though, immediately preceding Bickells goal, Doughty basically blocked a Toews shot in the crease to prevent a goal), the second time in the series Toews has been held without a shot on goal. The Blackhawks need their big guns to be firing, but they also need G Corey Crawford to perform better. After allowing four goals on 20 shots in Game Four, Crawford has stopped 69 of 82 shots (.841 SV%) in the last three games. The goals against arent all on Crawford, to be sure but, no matter how you slice it, .841 isnt good enough to win. Blackhawks C Michal Handzus played a game-low 4:28, not seeing the ice beyond six minutes into the second period. This isnt the first time in the playoffs that a team, on the verge of elimination, has looked like they were on the way out, and thats the situation in which the Blackhawks find themselves now. More than 90% of teams with a three-game-to-one lead in an NHL playoff series go on to win, so the Blackhawks have a steep hill to climb. But, they can look across the ice and take heart, knowing that the Kings had to overcome a three-games-to-none deficit in Round One against San Jose to get turned loose on this playoff run. Right now, the Kings look invincible, but hockey is a funny game sometimes and if the Blackhawks are better on home ice in Game Five, maybe they still have a way to dig out of this hole.

PAUL, Minn.The struggling Winnipeg Jets hope for a blast from the past when the Florida Panthers come to town Tuesday night. Winnipeg (21-14-8) enters the matchup on a 2-4-1 stretch after concluding a three-game trip with a 5-4 shootout loss at Pacific Division-leading Anaheim on Sunday. Theyre also 1-3-1 in their last five at home. Viewers in the Winnipeg region can watch all the action LIVE on TSN3 with coverage beginning at 6:30pm ct, while radio coverage is available on TSN 1290 starting at 6pm ct. The longest trip of 2014-15 has resulted in a season-high winning streak for the Panthers. Visiting the Jets in recent years, though, has produced a string of blowout losses. Florida looks to extend their win streak to four while avoiding a fifth straight road loss in the series Tuesday night. The Jets led the Ducks 3-1 after the first period and was up 4-2 heading into the third, when Anaheim scored the tying goal with 2:03 remaining before securing the victory in the sixth round of the shootout. Despite the blown lead, coach Paul Maurice was happy with the trip after a 5-4 shootout win over defending champion Los Angeles on Saturday gave the Jets three points in the final two games against some stiff competition. Its a real positive, Maurice told the Jets official website. Doesnt happen very often in this league. Im disappointed with the loss, but not in the team. The fight was good. Winnipeg blew a 3-0 lead against the Kings before pulling out the win, and thats something defenseman Zach Bogosian said needs to stop. We have to be able to weather that storm, said Bogosian, whose first two goals of the season have come in the last two games. We did get a point out of it (Sunday), but we should have gotten two. Florida (20-11-9) opened a six-game trip with a 2-0 win over Buffalo on Jan. 2, and following a 4-3 loss to Washington two days later, has won the last three while scoring 13 goals. Darryl Kile Jersey. Brian Campbell had the go-ahead goal in the second period, and the Panthers added two more in the third to beat Edmonton 4-2 on Sunday. I dont think we were at our best tonight, but we found a way to get it done, Campbell said. Its a big game, getting towards the end of the trip, you have to keep the pedal down. Roberto Luongo continued his strong play with 31 saves, improving to 8-1-1 with a 1.91 goals-against average in his last 11 starts. Weve got four balanced lines, Luongo said. Theyve been chipping in offensively, which is nice and weve been finding ways to win hockey games. We have one more big game left on this trip, so well enjoy tonight and refocus on the next one. Eleven players have scored on the trip, with Jonathan Huberdeau leading the way with three goals and two assists. Sean Bergenheim and Nick Bjugstad have added four points each. Thats how youre going to win with our hockey team, coach Gerard Gallant said. You look at our lineup, we dont have an 80, 90-point guy, so we have a bunch of guys chipping in, working hard. Florida scored eight times in winning its first two visits to Winnipeg after the franchise relocated from Atlanta, but its been outscored 22-6 in going 0-3-1 since.
