(SportsNetwork. Cheap Hawks Jerseys Authentic .com) - A rematch of last seasons Stanley Cup Finals is on tap Thursday at the Staples Center, as the defending champion Los Angeles Kings welcome the red-hot New York Rangers to the City of Angels. Los Angeles earned its second Stanley Cup title in three years last spring, polishing off the championship run with a 4-1 series victory over the Rangers. The Kings lifted the Cup on June 13 after winning a 3-2 double-overtime battle at the Staples Center. Despite losing in the Cup Finals to the Kings, New York enters Thursdays showdown faring better in 2014-15 than the reigning champs. The Rangers are 22-11-4 thanks in large part to an 11-1-0 record over the last 12 games, while Los Angeles is 19-12-9 after losing three of its last four tilts. Both clubs are currently holding onto the wild card spots in their respective conferences. A hallmark of the Kings recent championship teams has been goaltending and defense, but there was little of either to be found the last time out as L.A. lost 7-6 in overtime to the visiting Nashville Predators. The setback came at the start of a seven-game homestand and dropped the Kings to 14-4-3 as the host this season. To their credit, the Kings were able to wrestle a point away from the Predators on Saturday despite trailing by scores of 5-1 and 6-2. In the end, it was Roman Josis goal 18 seconds into overtime that awarded the extra point to Nashville. Dwight King, Marian Gaborik and Jeff Carter netted goals in a span of 1:27 late in the contest to send the game to OT for the Kings. We got a point. Thats the way hockey works, right? I told our players several times tonight that it was going to take seven goals to win. I was right, said Kings head coach Darryl Sutter. I dont think anything was lacking. I thought it was an exciting game. King scored twice in the loss, while Alec Martinez -- who had the Cup- clinching goal versus the Rangers -- added a goal and two assists. Anze Kopitar had three assists for L.A. and Jake Muzzin chipped in a pair of helpers. Jonathan Quick was pulled in the first period after allowing three goals on nine shots. Martin Jones stopped 12-of-16 shots the rest of the way to take the loss. Quick expects to start tonight. The Kings franchise goaltender is 2-1-0 with a 1.96 goals against average in three regular-season games against the Rangers. Not counting last seasons playoff encounter, L.A. is 3-1-1 in the last five meetings with New York. The Rangers picked up their third straight victory on Wednesday night, as they kicked off a three-game tour of California with an impressive 4-1 win over the NHL-leading Anaheim Ducks. Henrik Lundqvist made 24 saves to anchor Wednesdays victory in Orange County and the Rangers scored three goals during the third period en route to the win. Rick Nash, Mats Zuccarello and Dominic Moore each scored in the final stanza and Derick Brassard lit the lamp in a third straight game for the Rangers. I think it comes down to execution, said Lundqvist. I really like the way we are playing. Cam Talbot will get a turn in net tonight for the Rangers. he has never faced the Ducks.

The 23-year-old Poland international is back as first choice at Arsenal after losing his regular spot in the team on occasions over the last three seasons. SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Patrick Marleau has had a lot of success against the Edmonton Oilers this season. The Sharks assistant team captain found another way to keep the good times rolling. In the process, he just might have salvaged San Joses hopes of catching Anaheim in the chase for the top spot in the Pacific Division. Marleau scored a tiebreaking goal with 7:29 left in the third period to lift the Sharks to a 5-4 win over the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday night after San Jose had squandered a two-goal lead. "I think (Joe Pavelski) actually kicked it over to me in front," said Marleau after notching his 32nd goal of the season. "It was good. I was just able to get it in the back." It was a much-needed win for the Sharks, who came into their final homestand of the season after falling out of first place in the division following back-to-back losses to Winnipeg and Colorado. San Jose has already locked up a playoff spot, but is trying to avoid a first-round matchup against the Los Angeles Kings. The Sharks had blown a 3-1 lead and were 0 for 5 on power plays before Marleau rocketed a shot past Edmonton goalie Ben Scrivens after Scrivens had deflected a one-timer by San Joses Brent Burns. Dan Boyle, Andrew Desjardins and Tommy Wingels also scored for the Sharks, who moved within one point of first-place Anaheim in the Pacific Division. "I still think our team looks lethargic," San Jose coach Todd McLellan said. "Were there but were not really getting it done. Right now were still in a fight, which I think is good for us, to stay focused and have that battling mentality." The Sharks still face an uphill climb. Four of their final five games are against teams in playoff contention. Ryan Nugent-Hopkins had two goals and two assists for Edmonton, which lost for the fourth time in five meetings between the teams this season. "We knew coming in we couldnt take penalties but for whatever reason, a couple that we probably shouldnt have taken and it comes back to bite us," Nugent-Hopkins said. "I thought we showed a lot of push-back. The way we climbed back in the game was reeally big for us. Cheap Kevin Huerter Jersey. We just have to take some momentum from it." This one nearly got away after San Jose built an early lead. Edmonton scored two goals in a 38-second span in the second period to tie the game, then took the lead when Nugent-Hopkins scored his second goal of the game 6:16 into the third. After Burns tied it off an assist from Joe Thornton, Marleau sent the crowd at SAP Pavilion home happy with his game-winner. Antti Niemi made 25 saves for San Jose. Taylor Hall scored the other goal for Edmonton. Nugent-Hopkins nearly had a hat trick after being credited with a goal in the second, but it was later awarded to Jordan Eberle. Scrivens set an NHL record for most saves in a regular-season shutout when the two teams played on Jan. 29, but wasnt nearly as sharp this time. Neither was Niemi. Desjardins third goal of the season 3:11 into the first put the Sharks up 1-0. Desjardins scored off a deflection in front of the net after Scrivens stopped a shot by Tyler Kennedy. Hall tied it on a power-play goal for Edmonton after a roughing call against Boyle. Boyle, penalized twice in the first period, made up for it with another point-blank shot in front of the net that made it 2-1. After San Joses power-play unit missed a chance to pad the lead early in the second, Wingels tapped the puck past Scrivens for an even-strength goal that gave the Sharks a 3-1 lead. Edmonton tied it with two goals in 38 seconds. Nugent-Hopkins, who had an assist on Halls goal, scored to cut the gap to 3-2 before Eberles game-tying shot. Nugent-Hopkins was originally credited with the goal after the play was reviewed and upheld, but a scoring change later awarded the shot to Eberle. Nugent-Hopkins put the Oilers ahead when he scored 6:16 into the third before Burns tied it for the Sharks midway through the final period. "Were happy with the two (points), but weve got to tighten up for the post-season," Thornton said. "Weve got five games here to do that." Notes: Halls 26 goals are tied for the team lead. David Perron also has 26. ... Sharks F Raffi Torres sat out his 12th straight game.
