Stoll Sends Kings to 2nd Round With OT Goal With a quick flick of his wrists, Jarret Stoll sent the Los Angeles Kings on to face St. Louis in the second round - and the Vancouver Canucks into the offseason a lot sonner than they expected after topping the NHL in the regular season. Stoll beat Cory Schneider at 4:27 of overtime to give Los Angeles a 2-1 victory over Vancouver on Sunday night, knocking out the top-seeded Canucks in five games in the Western Conference first-round series. Stoll scored from the left wing after a turnover at Vancouver blue line. The forward skated in on a 2-on-1, but took the shot himself, picking the top-left corner above Schneider's blocker. "It's special," Stoll said. It's pride in the organization, and your team and your teammates and coaching staff. They're a great team over there, it took a lot to beat them. Brad Richardson tied it for Los Angeles at 3:21 of the third period, and Jonathan Quick made 26 saves. "To close out this series, for me personally, and a few guys in the room, it's something we've never done, so it's a great feeling," Quick said. The Kings will play the second-seeded St. Louis Blues in the second round. "You've got to give credit to the Kings," Canucks coach Alain Vigneault said. They played a real great series, a real tough opponent, played strong hockey, made the strong plays on the ice and, at the end of the day, they deserved to win.

Schneider made 35 saves in his third straight start after Roberto Luongo lost the first two games. "If you play the way we did in the last three every game you'll be in every game and then our skill is going to take over," Henrik Sedin said. In the first game, we took way too many penalties. In the second, the power play cost us the game. If you do that in a seven-game series, you give away two games, you've got to win four out of five and that's tough when they don't give you an inch out there. The Canucks dropped out in the first round after leading the NHL in regular-season points for the second straight year. Last season, they lost to Boston in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup finals. "To be honest, it doesn't matter if you lose the seventh game of the finals or you lose in five in the first round, it's devastating," Daniel Sedin said. We have the mindset to win every year. When you end up on the losing side it's tough. Vancouver's new second line of Ryan Kesler, Alex Burrows and Max Lapierre made a quick impression. Burrows fed Kesler from behind the net about a 90 seconds in, but Quick stopped the center's shot from the slot. The Canucks then ran into early penalty trouble and didn't get another shot for 6 minutes before Lapierre put one on Quick. Vancouver killed penalties to Dan Hamhuis and Henrik Sedin, but couldn't get its power play going on its first advantage. However, with Henrik Sedin double-shifting, the Canucks capitalized on the second when the Vancouver captain put in a cross-ice pass from Daniel Sedin with 5:56 left in the period. The opportunity came after Hamhuis kept Mike Richards' clearing attempt in at the blue line. Schneider preserved the lead when he stopped Anze Kopitar on a breakaway in the dying seconds of the first period. Kopitar put the rebound off the post as time expired. Both goaltenders stole the show in the second period as neither team could score.
