Quick was chased from Game 2 after giving up four goals on 17 shots in only 29:20. Rarely do four go in against Quick, who had gone 34 consecutive games in the Stanley Cup Playoffs without allowing more than three goals -- and he did that four times over the 34-game span. The last time he had allowed four goals was April 25, 2011. Expect him to bounce back nicely at the Staples Center in Game 3.

Quick played very well in a losing effort in Game 1 yesterday. He allowed just two goals on 36 shots that the Hawks threw at him. He has played excellent all post-season so there is no reason to believe he will slip up tonight.

UPDATE: JOHN TORTORELLA has been fired by the NY RANGERS. JUSTIN WILLIAMS-RW-LOS ANGELES KINGS Justin Williams has had a quiet playoff season (4-2-6 in 13 games) so far until last night when he netted two goals, giving goalkeeper Jonathan Quick all he would need for the LA Kings to advance to the Conference Finals against the winner of tonight's Chicago-Detroit 7th game. With these two goals, Williams has matched his goal total in last year's Stanley Cup where he went 4-7-11. Williams proved that playoff experience is invaluable as he was able to perform under stressful Game 7 situations last night. JONATHAN QUICK-G-LOS ANGELES KINGS read more
