EL SEGUNDO, Calif. - Although Chicago and Los Angeles have won the last two Stanley Cup titles, Matt Greene and his fellow Kings realize the Blackhawks have been superior whenever the two championship teams were on the ice together recently. Chicagos recent mastery of the Kings completely came apart in one crazy period, and the Blackhawks are headed to the West Coast to figure out how to get it back. When the teams return Saturday night for Game 3 of the Western Conference finals, the Kings hope to build on their five-goal third period in a 6-2 victory on Wednesday night, evening the series in dramatic fashion. Until Game 2, Chicago had beaten the Kings six straight times and in nine of the clubs last 10 meetings dating back to last seasons conference finals. The Blackhawks had been faster and more offensively creative than the Kings, but it all went away in a barrage of goals that set a distinctly different tone for Game 3. "Its been a series thats gone in their favour for the last couple of years now," Greene said Thursday at the Kings training complex. "Weve got to do our best to change that. If we could put a finger on it, we would. But its up to us to figure it out and to keep it going and get some more wins. ... I dont think they have a mental edge on us, no. Youve just got to go out and play." Both teams essentially took Thursday off, gathering only for travel or a team meeting. While the Kings downplayed the importance of momentum from their win, the Blackhawks had an extra day to absorb the shock of their second four-goal defeat in the last six playoff games. "I woke up this morning way more angry than I exited the game," Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville said Thursday before the team flew to the West Coast. "Normally its the other way around. ... A game like that is a game that should get your attention, and I think thats where were at." Quenneville felt the loss was a significant setback for the Blackhawks only because of how it occurred. The two-time champion coach couldnt recall such an abrupt reversal of momentum against Chicago in any game this season. Quenneville thought his team essentially played a perfect game for the first 38 minutes, taking a 2-0 lead before it all fell apart with Los Angeles first goal. The Blackhawks arent a team that falls apart, but the Kings have a way of making opponents do things they never imagined under playoff pressure. "I think it was probably a little bit of a shock to us all," Chicago defenceman Nick Leddy said. "But thats how playoffs are." The Kings feel it wasnt just momentum that gave them home-ice advantage in this series. Los Angeles had been making strides against the defending champions for months, and coach Darryl Sutter thought his team played much better in its series-opening defeat than its victory. "I dont think it was momentum," Sutter said. "It was more once we were down two (goals), I think it was our ability — and were good at that — our ability to stay with it and stick with the game." That game is showing a few unexpected facets lately. The Kings are now the highest-scoring team in the Stanley Cup playoffs with 3.25 goals per game, a shocking number for a defence-first team that struggled mightily to score for much of the regular season. But the Kings success in Game 2 was due to its usual strengths on defence. Los Angeles defence on Chicagos top scorers was uniformly solid. Anze Kopitar shadowed Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews, who didnt record a shot, while Patrick Kane failed to score a point for the second straight game. The Kings excelled on special teams, killing a two-man Chicago advantage and scoring the tying and go-ahead goals on their own power plays. Los Angeles also dominated the faceoff circle, following up its impressive work late in the second round against Anaheim. "Theyre huge momentum-swingers every time," Greene said. "A good (penalty-kill) can do wonders for you in terms of momentum, and a good power play. The coaches do a good job emphasizing you dont need to score on the power play. You just need to make sure you build momentum and get a good two minutes going in their zone. Last night, everything was clicking. Those were two huge power-play goals for us there. They really turned around the game in our favour." Bruising forward Andrew Shaw is expected to be available to the Blackhawks for Game 3 after missing Wednesdays game with a lower-body injury, his seventh straight game out of the lineup. The Kings arent likely to see defenceman Robyn Regehr, whose knee injury has kept him out for eight games. Cheap NFL Store .

Just ask Cam Newton. Washington had two of Arizonas seven sacks of Newton and one of its three interceptions in the Cardinals 22-6 victory over the Carolina Panthers on Sunday. "He was the same old D-Wash," teammate Patrick Peterson said, "running sideline to sideline." Washington was back after serving a four-game suspension for violating the leagues substance abuse policy. "It feels good, especially with a win at home," he said. "My teammates and this organization are so supportive of me that it makes it easy for me to go out and do what I do." There were plenty of other defensive playmakers for the Cardinals, who fell behind 6-3 at halftime but dominated the second half. Calais Campbell had two sacks, one for Arizonas first regular-season safety in nine years, the other forcing a game-clinching fumble. Karlos Dansby also had two sacks and an interception. Peterson also had an interception. "Thats the beauty of it," Campbell said. "When you have so many guys that are as talented as we have, youve got to pick your poison. You can try to take one of us out of the game, somebody else is going to eat." Arizona quarterback Carson Palmer called his teams defensive performance "phenomenal, lights out, and not surprising whatsoever." Carolina (1-3), playing for the first time since a 38-0 victory over the New York Giants two weeks ago, managed only Graham Ganos field goals from 22 and 51 yards. "It is as disappointing as disappointing gets," Panthers safety Mike Mitchell said. The day just got worse and worse for Newton, returning to the site of his BCS championship performance for Auburn and his impressive NFL debut. "I have to do a better job of protecting the football," he said. "We had our opportunities in the red zone multiple times and we just couldnt seem to get it together. We are not going to sob or get beside ourselves or go into a shell. We are going to keep fighting. That is what this team is full of." Palmer threw a touchdown pass, but was intercepted three times as Arizonas offence struggled again, as it did most of last week in a 13-10 win at Tampa Bay. "You can call them ugly wins or any kind of wins you want," said Cardinals first-year coach Bruce Arians, who turned 61 on Thursday. "As long as theyre wins, I love them." Jay Feely, who had a 42-yard field goal for Arizonas only points of the first hhalf, kicked a 50-yarder to make it 15-6 with 3:38 to play.dddddddddddd The Cardinals clinched it when Campbell sacked Newton and the ball popped free. Antoine Cason picked it up and ran 40 yards to the Carolina 9. Palmer connected with Jim Dray for a 7-yard score, the big tight ends first career touchdown, to make it 22-6 with 2:23 remaining. The Panthers had four dropped passes, two of them by the normally reliable Steve Smith, and were penalized nine times for 79 yards. One of Smiths drops would have been a touchdown. Their running game, ranked third in the NFL coming in, managed just 95 yards, only 21 in the second half. "We have to protect the quarterback better and we have to make better decisions as far as the quarterback, too," Carolina coach Ron Rivera said. "There are a lot of things we have to correct and a lot of blame to go around for everybody." Andre Ellingtons 26-yard run set up the Cardinals first touchdown. Rashard Mendenhall scored from the 1 to put Arizona ahead for the first time 10-6 with 5:48 left in the third quarter. After the kickoff, a taunting penalty on Jordan Senn and an offensive pass interference call on Smith pushed Carolina to its 5-yard line. Newton faded into the end zone and was sacked by Campbell, and the Cardinals led 12-6 with 5:28 to go in the third. After the ensuing free kick, Arizona had it at the Carolina 48 when Luke Kuechly intercepted Palmer and returned it 30 yards to the Cardinals 29. The Panthers moved to the 5, where on third-and-3, Washington picked off Newtons pass and rambled 41 yards to midfield. Newton was 14 for 21 for 215 yards in the first half, but couldnt get the Panthers in the end zone. Ganos 51-yard field goal as the half ended put Carolina up 6-3. Peterson intercepted Newtons pass intended for Smith at the Cardinals 1-yard line and scrambled 43 yards to the 44. Completions to Larry Fitzgerald and Ellington moved Arizona to the Panthers 23. But Palmer overthrew Fitzgerald over the middle, and Mitchell intercepted it in the end zone with 34 seconds left in the half. That was plenty of time for the Panthers, who got a 20-yard run by fullback Mike Tolbert and a pair of completions by Newton. After a holding penalty negated Grahams 41-yard field goal, he nailed the 51-yarder to put the Panthers up by three at the break. Notes: The Panthers lost starting left guard Amini Silatolu with a knee injury in the third quarter. ... Washington had one other game with a sack and interception, against Carolina in the 2011 season opener. ' ' '
