Kings Take Game One, Maintain Road Dominance

The Los Angeles Kings maintained their perfect record on the road as they took the early advantage in the Stanley Cup Finals.

Anze Kopitar scored his seventh goal of the postseason 8:13 into overtime to give the Kings a 2-1 victory over the New Jersey Devils at the Prudential Centre*.

Anton Volchenkov canceled out Colin Fraser's first-period tally before Kopitar streaked in on a breakaway and out-waited Martin Brodeur to give the Kings their ninth victory in nine road games this postseason.

Goaltender Jonathan Quick needed to only make 16 saves for the victory and he firmly believes that the Kings battle level is key to strong road displays.

He said: “I think we've out-worked teams. I think whoever wins this series is going to be the team that out-works the other.
