Kings swamp New Jersey 4-0, need one win for the Cup

The Kings needed heroic saves from goalie Jonathan Quick for the first half of Game 3, then the momentum turned their way. They ended up scoring four goals and shutting out the very frustrated New Jersey Devils. It the was largest crowd ever to see a hockey game at Staples Center — and the first Kings home game in 15 days — and they had a blast. Kings goals were scored by Alec Martinez, Jeff Carter, Anze Kopitar and Justin Williams. (Video of Williams' goal above.)

So — the Kings can win their first ever Stanley Cup on Wednesday — same time, same place. Except on Wednesday, unlike tonight, the game may be on free TV via NBC and channel 4. That's what some Twitter sources were saying tonight. We'll look for confirmation and let you know if it's accurate. We'll also be looking for information on possible displays of the Cup in Los Angeles before the game, and any celebration plans from the Kings.
