Dustin Brown slumped in front of his locker and contemplated the final minutes of Game 2 with the same bewildered wonder felt by all those joyous Kings fans streaming out of Staples Center. With three minutes left, the San Jose Sharks appeared to be cruising toward a well-deserved win over Los Angeles. After two penalties and two dynamic power-play goals, the Kings were halfway to the Western Conference finals. And even the Kings weren't quite sure how they got there. Brown tied it with 1:43 left and Trevor Lewis scored the tiebreaking power-play goal 22 seconds later, propelling the defending Stanley Cup champions to a 4-3 victory Thursday night and a 2-0 series lead. "It's a roller coaster, but when you go through the experience of everything we did last year, you keep your emotions in check," Brown said. Even when that happens, you know there's a lot of work still to do. Game 3 is Saturday night at the Shark Tank. Drew Doughty scored an early power-play goal for Los Angeles, which didn't really get rolling until the third period - and with two late goals, the Kings landed one of the most amazing victories in their relatively thin playoff history. Antti Niemi stopped 27 shots for the Sharks, but was powerless to stop the Kings' power play. "I liked our game," McLellan said. We'll meet (Friday) at the rink, and I'll tell our team that. The thing I like about our team, maybe in the past, this would have bothered our team more, but with the group of guys we have, I think we can recover from this. Patrick Marleau and Brad Stuart scored second-period goals for the Sharks, who largely dominated the first two periods with another barrage of superior speed and skill. None of it mattered when the Kings charged ahead. "We've got to put it behind us," said Stuart, who had a goal and an assist. There's two ways for us to respond. We can either fold up and say, 'Oh, at least we tried,' or we can say, 'You know what? We can win.
