Kings shoot & rebound & shoot & rebound & shoot & rebound and it's in! Lundqvist got NO help from his defense on that drive!

oh and pouliot just smashed into quick, he ws out of the paint but he really smashed quicks head with his elbow, knocked his helmet off! Pouliot really wasn't looking and it didn't seem intentional but you have to know where you are - goalie interference.
