Game 9, 2009 Los Angeles Kings Vs. Dallas Stars

Kings had an energized start and had a couple quality scoring opportunities early in the 1^st. Late in the 1^st Dallas comes out with a lucky pass in front of the net and it sneaks past the glove of Jonathan Quick. Five minutes into the 2^nd Kings take advantage of the Stars penalty and Ryan Smyth shoots the puck through Stars defenseman’s legs and top shelf’s it to tie the score, 1-1. With 6:34 left in the 2^nd Kings defenseman Matt Greene takes a shot and Justin Williams tips it in, making it a 2-1 game. 2 minutes later, just like the 1^st goal, a pass from behind the net from Ryan Smyth to Anze Kopitar, makes it a 3-1 Kings lead. Kings and Dallas both work hard until Dallas pulls their goalie with around 2 minutes left, Wayne Simmons scores on an empty net, insuring the Kings a 4-1 win, ending their 3 game losing streak.
