Mike Richards power play goal broke a 0-30 streak for the Kings in the post-season. With the Kings up three games to none, the only thing not working for the team was their power play which had gone five games without a goal going back to Game 2 of the Vancouver series. But that went out the window with the goal by Richards halfway through the second period which turned out to be the game winner. Richards now has three goals and eight points in the playoffs and if you took him, you are being rewarded handsomely. By the way, with the first period fight against the Blues Jamie Langenbrunner, Richards ended the game with a Gordie Howe hat trick.
