The Los Angeles Kings stormed back after falling behind 2-0 to the Chicago Blackhawks, scoring six straight goals to take Game Two, tying the series at one game apiece. Jeff Carter was the scoring force for the Kings, with a hat trick and an assist, all in the third period. Carter now has 16 points in 16 playoff games and, over the past three years, has 42 playoff points, ranking second only to Anze Kopitar. Carter is having success centering a line with rookies Tanner Pearson and Tyler Toffoli on his wings. Pearson had a couple of assists in Game Two and Toffoli scored the Kings fourth goal. Pearson and Toffoli each have nine points in the postseason, one behind Nathan MacKinnon and Torey Krug for the rookie lead in the playoffs. Pearson has been particularly efficient in terms of points per minute of ice time. Chicago appeared to have the game well in hand, holding a 2-0 lead with a couple minutes left in the second period, but Justin Williams scored a goal off a seemingly inoccuous play to get the Kings on the board with 1:40 remaining in the second, then Los Angeles scored a pair of power play goals in the first 4:04 of the third period to turn the game upside down. Kings D Alec Martinez had an assist, but was also on the ice for 18 shot attempts for and seven against (72.0%) during 5-on-5 play. With Martinez off the ice, the Kings got 39.1% of the 5-on-5 shot attempts. At the same time, the Kings top defence pairing of Drew Doughty and Jake Muzzin were both on for less than 30% of the shot attempts at 5-on-5. Chicagos possession leader was LW Brandon Saad (13 attempts for, four against, 76.5%), while RW Kris Versteeg and C Peter Regin were at the other end of the spectrum, both under 25% in possession terms. Kings G Jonathan Quick stopped 23 of 25 shots, making some crucial saves when the game was 2-0 for Chicago and a third goal might put the game out of reach. Blackhawks G Corey Crawford allowed five goals in a game for the first time since November 16. Its not a surprise that the Kings power play made a difference -- their 24.1% success rate in the playoffs is best among the final four teams -- but the surprise is seeing the Blackhawks penalty killing unit get lit up for a pair of goals. Prior to Game Two, Chicagos penalty kill had allowed four goals on 48 power plays, 91.7%, so to suddenly allow two within 2:27 in the third period was highly unusual -- Chicago had allowed two power play goals against once in the previous 61 (regular season plus playoff) games. While the manner in which it happened could be considered surprising, it should be expected that the Kings will give the Blackhawks all they can handle. These are two elite teams and neither figures to go quietly, but now the advantage goes to the Kings who, with the split in Chicago, have gained home-ice advantage.

Green Looking to grow the lead over the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, new Montreal Alouettes starter Troy Smith turned to the right guy for a circus catch in veteran SJ Green. Already up 14-0 over the Tiger-Cats early in the second quarter in their Week 18 matchup in Guelph, Smith, a CFL rookie, lined up in the shotgun at the Ticats 40 yard line, surveying the field. Smiths 13-yard pass was a little off target but it didnt matter as Green laid out to make a spectacular one-handed catch. The Als receiver used quick reflexes in diving to his rightt and snatching the ball with his right hand before securing it against his body and falling to the ground.dddddddddddd Geroy Simon It was a free play for the Saskatchewan Roughriders after the Toronto Argonauts jumped offside, and Geroy Simon took full advantage with a circus catch for a first down.

' ' ' league.Initially a backup after being drafted in the sixth round, he took over from injured quarterback Drew Bledsoe — and the rest is history.Tom Bradys done a lot of great things over the last 15 years, Patriots tight end Tim Wright said.Who would argue?After the usual Media Day fare concerning his favourite music (Jay-Z got a shout-out) and his hair (but no marriage proposals, as happened in the past), Brady got around to taking questions Tuesday about his place in the game.ddddddddddddHe knows full well that Super Bowl success is a major part of how quarterbacks careers are defined. And Brady said he recalls the feeling of hoisting the Lombardi Trophy three times in a four-year span a decade ago.Those things happened so fast back then. I didnt even understand what was happening, Brady said. Its not like I didnt appreciate those experiences. I certainly did. But ... weve had two tough ones.Wilson, 26, has yet to play an NFL season that didnt include at least one playoff victory for his team.He goes about things a different way than Brady on the field, far more skilled as a ball carrier and on-the-move improviser. Wilson can sling the football, too, though, and put it right where he wants it, as evidenced by his 35-yard touchdown throw in overtime to win the NFC championship game against the Green Bay Packers.Before a late comeback, Seattle trailed by 16 points. Wilson had a passer rating of zero at halftime and he finished the game with four interceptions.But that did not concern him Tuesday. The only thing that did was the final score.I want to be considered a winner, said Wilson, sporting a thick beard. Thats ultimately the goal in terms of playing quarterback: Win, win, win.Asked which quarterbacks were his favourites while growing up, Wilson mentioned Brady and Peyton Manning, calling them two guys that Ive looked up to since I was a little kid.In last years Super Bowl, Seattle overwhelmed Mannings Denver Broncos 43-8, part of Wilsons 10-0 record in games against quarterbacks who have won a title.That could become 11-0 on Sunday.To get back to the Super Bowl is a huge thing, Wilson said. Its a one-of-a-kind thing.Not for this games two QBs.___Follow Howard Fendrich on Twitter at http://twitter.com/HowardFendrich___Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: http://twitter.com/AP_NFL ' ' '
