Kings Begin To Pull Away; Capitals Are Here To Play

The Los Angeles Kings have won five straight playoff games on the road. 

The Kings shelled St. Louis in the opening frame last night  beating the Blues 5-2 and taking a 2-0 series lead in the Western Conference semifinal. 

The Washington Capitals have evened their Eastern Conference semifinal at a 1-1.

The Caps blew a 2-0 lead before Alex Ovechkin scored on a power play with 7:27 remaining to lead Washington over the New York Rangers 3-2. 

Mike Knuble and Jason Chimera notched first-period goals less than five minutes apart before the Rangers started to chip away but fell short.
