Kings dethrone Hawks with Game 7 road win
Print Edition
ALEC Martinez scored at 5:47 in overtime as the Los Angeles Kings beat the defending champions Chicago Blackhawks 5-4 in Game 7 of the NHL Western Conference finals on Sunday and advance to the Stanley Cup finals.
Martinez’s shot went off Blackhawks defenseman Nick Leddy and over goalie Corey Crawford, stunning the sellout crowd at the United Center and leading to wild on-ice celebration for Los Angeles. Leddy was disconsolate as the Kings gathered in a big huddle along the boards.
Los Angeles improved to 7-0 in elimination games with its third Game 7 win on the road this postseason. It will host the New York Rangers in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup finals tomorrow. The Kings became the first team to play 21 games through the first three rounds of the playoffs and make it to the NHL finals. The 2002 Avalanche and 1993 Maple Leafs also played the maximum amount of games through three series, but they lost in Game 7 of the conference championships
