LOS ANGELES -- Although Trevor Lewis doesnt score much, the Kings grinding
forward is doing it in bunches lately.

win in its final home game for three weeks.Lewis had a goal and an assist, and
Jeff Carter and Alec Martinez scored on the same power play early in the first
period of the Kings 4-1 victory over the Ottawa Senators on Saturday.Lewis is a
two-time Stanley Cup champion who plays a key supporting role for the Kings, but
he has never scored more than nine goals in the NHL. He has five already this
season, including a goal with 0.5 seconds left in a second period otherwise
dominated by the Senators.Ive still got it a little bit, Lewis said after
scoring his third goal in four games, calling it one of his best offensive
stretches since his junior career a decade ago. Hopefully, I can keep it
up.Peter Budaj made 19 saves and earned an assist, and Marian Gaborik scored his
first goal since Feb. 12 to cap the Kings final home game before a nine-game
stint on the road until New Years Eve.The Kings seized an early lead after Mark
Borowiecki received a 5-minute major for boarding Tyler Toffoli, who went to the
dressing room after getting his face driven into the glass. Carter scored his
12th goal early in the power play on a quick wrist shot, and Martinez scored in
the final seconds with a long shot that ricocheted off goalie Mike Condon.When
we get an opportunity to go on the power play for 5 minutes, weve got to take
advantage of that, Martinez said. That situation a few years ago comes to mind.
Thats why special teams are important.Los Angeles famously scored three times
during a 5-minute power play in Game 6 of the 2012 Stanley Cup Final at Staples
Center, propelling Martinez and the Kings to their first NHL title.Condon
stopped 15 shots in the fourth loss in six games for the Senators, who couldnt
climb out of the early hole created by the Kings special teams after Borowiecki
ran into Toffoli from behind.Its a penalty, for sure, Borowiecki said. I feel
bad about putting our team in that (situation). Never mean to hurt anyone or put
anyone in a bad spot, but anyone that plays my brand of hockey is going to have
a couple of those a season.Zack Smith trimmed the lead early in the second
period by ending his 13-game goal drought, but the Senators struggled to beat
Budaj in the second stop of their swing through California.Budaj, the former
Montreal goalie who rose from the AHL this season to take over for injured
Jonathan Quick, even got an assist on Carters goal for his first point since
April 4, 2012.Weve had success coming back, Ottawa coach Guy Boucher said. Guys
were showing character, and we were doing it, but I think the biggest deflator
was the end of the second period. We have to be prepared in those last few
seconds.Gaborik capped the win in the third period on an exceptional shot. The
Slovak wing missed the final two months of last season and the first six weeks
of this season with injuries.Veteran forward Chris Neil played his 1,000th game
for Ottawa, joining Daniel Alfredsson and Chris Phillips as the only Senators to
reach the mark.Game notes Kings coach Darryl Sutter got his 200th victory with
the franchise. Only Andy Murray (215) has more. Asked if the milestone meant
anything to him, Sutter replied: Nope. ... Andy Andreoff returned to the Kings
lineup after missing 17 games following an upper-body injury in late October.
Devin Setoguchi also was back in the lineup, and the Kings scratched Kyle
Clifford and Nic Dowd, who had played in 24 straight games. ... Borowiecki
fought Matt Greene shortly after getting out of the penalty box. Toffoli
returned to the ice late in the first period.UP NEXTSenators: At the Anaheim
Ducks on Sunday.Kings: At the Buffalo Sabres on Tuesday.

Westbrook has missed 27 games since having a procedure on Dec. 27 to deal with
swelling in his injured right knee — the third operation on the knee in nine
months. TORONTO -- Wayne Gretzky and Bobby Orr traveled to see a hyped first
matchup between Auston Matthews and Connor McDavid. They got a show from Nazem
Kadri instead.Kadri got his second goal of the game in overtime, lifting the
Toronto Maple Leafs over the Edmonton Oilers 3-2 on Tuesday night.Matthews and
McDavid were scoreless in the first showdown of the last two No. 1 overall
picks. McDavid, from nearby Richmond Hill, Ontario, played his first NHL game in
Toronto, and the game had enough hype to bring in legends Gretzky and Orr to
watch.Kadri claimed he missed all the buildup.To be honest with you I dont know
what people were talking about before the game, he said. I was just focused on
my matchup and my assignment and just doing whatever I can to help the team
win.Kadri won it on the first shift of overtime, eluding McDavids pursuit before
beating Cam Talbot. The Leafs 26-year-old top line center has five goals in 10
games. He needed 27 games and almost two months (Dec. 5) to get there last
season.His line also managed to hold McDavid off the scoreboard.He can embarrass
you when he gets time and space so I just tried to limit that from him and just
stay on top of him as much as I could, Kadri said.Hes a good player, McDavid
said of Kadri. He played me hard. Good for him.Frederik Andersen had 44 saves
for Toronto and Ben Smith also scored. The Leafs have won three of four games at
home this season.Edmonton has dropped two in a row for the first time this
season. Anton Lander and Darnell Nurse scored and Talbot stopped 28
shots.McDavids line was burned for the first goal of the game 89 seconds into
the first period, with Kadri striking for an eaarly lead.

Cheap. After hitting a pair of posts, the Oilers got on the board
with 31 seconds left in the first. The action was driven by 25-year-old fourth
line fireplug Tyler Pitlick, who stole the puck behind the Toronto goal and
found Lander open in front.McDavid had his chances, rushing down the right side
at one point and then flipping a backhand attempt on Andersen. McDavid had four
shots on goal in nearly 23 minutes.Leafs coach Mike Babcock was surprised at how
much Oilers coach Todd McLellan, his former assistant in Detroit, used McDavid.
The Leafs coach thought McDavid wore down as the night wore on.I was never
expecting the guy to play that much, Babcock said. Hes a good player and all
that, but so is (Ryan) Nugent-Hopkins.Matthews, meanwhile, generated some
opportunities after a quiet first period, including a few good looks on setups
from NHL rookie of the month for October William Nylander. Matthews finished
with six shots.Smith put the Leafs in front 2-1 early into the second frame.
Nurse lost sight of Smith as he crashed the net.Nurse beat Anderson high glove
side for a goal near the midway point of the third period that tied it 2-2.Game
notes McDavid and Matthews saw the ice against one another only sparingly over
two periods, though more so in the final frame. Matthews, the first overall pick
one year after McDavid, described the meeting as just another game on Tuesday
morning.UP NEXTOilers: Play at the New York Rangers on Thursday night.Maple
