(SportsNetwork.com) - The Pittsburgh Penguins are coming off consecutive victories and they hope to stay hot Thursday when they welcome the defending Stanley Cup champion Los Angeles Kings to the Steel City. Pittsburgh halted a two-game slide with Saturdays 3-0 win in Nashville and followed by slamming the New Jersey Devils in the opener of a three-game homestand on Tuesday. The Penguins trailed the Devils 3-1 in the early stages of the second period, but ended the contest with seven unanswered goals to earn an 8-3 blowout victory. Craig Adams goal in the second period put the Penguins ahead for good, while Sidney Crosby scored twice in the resounding victory. Pascal Dupuis, Blake Comeau, Steve Downie and Patric Hornqvist each posted a goal and an assist for the Penguins. Marc-Andre Fleury stopped 16 shots in the win. Thats what great teams do, said Dupuis. They get their top guys out that are chipping in night in and night out and you have the guys that are coming up big any given night. Thats how you win games. Thats how you win championships. Crosby enters Thursday second in the league with 14 points and is trailing Tyler Seguin of Dallas by one point. Tyler Toffoli of the Kings is just one behind Crosby with 13 points off five goals and eight assists. Crosby has one goal and six helpers in five career games against the Kings, while Fleury is 4-2-0 with a 2.26 goals against average in his career versus L.A. The Kings are hoping to rebound tonight after having a six-game winning streak snapped in controversial fashion Tuesday in Philadelphia. After a video review, former Kings forward Brayden Schenn was awarded the game-winner with 2:24 remaining in overtime. Schenn skated in all alone from the hosts side of center ice in the neutral zone and shot low, but while Kings netminder Jonathan Quick smothered the shot with his pads, the puck was loose for a second. Schenn made a hard stop in the crease and the force of covering the rebound pushed Quick into the net with the puck presumably over the goal line. The original call did not indicate a goal, but upon a conference of all four officials plus a brief review, the on-ice decision was overruled, giving the Flyers the 2-1 victory. I dont know the exact ruling on that because they seem to change it every year, Quick said following the loss. But usually youre not allowed to push the goalie into the net, so I dont know. Maybe they changed it again on us. Toffoli and former Flyers captain Mike Richards scored for the Kings, with Quick making 40 saves in the setback. The Kings played Tuesdays game with just 11 forwards, but they hope centerman Anze Kopitar (upper body) can play tonight after sitting out against the Flyers. Fellow forward Trevor Lewis also is questionable with an upper-body injury, while winger Marian Gaborik is doubtful with an upper-body issue of his own. L.A. will aim for its first road win tonight when it plays the second test of a five-game trek. The Kings are 0-0-2 as the visiting team this season, while posting a 6-1-0 record at home. Pittsburgh has won six of the last eight meetings versus the Kings. L.A. did halt a three-game road skid in this series with a 3-2 win at Consol Energy Center on March 27. With the Kings also playing tomorrow night in Detroit, Martin Jones could get his second start of the season in on of the next two games. Jacques Plante Jersey . Speaking on TSN Radio 1050s TSN Drive with Dave Naylor on Monday, Colangelo said he had no intention of tanking the shortened 2011-12 season, but definitely wanted a high pick in the draft. "I wish that word wasnt used for headline reasons," said Colangelo, "but the story behind it was: how can we fix the system? How can we tweak the system to make it less likely that teams are rewarded for losing records? "I do believe that if youre as transparent as we were at the time - with our season seat holders, our fans, the market place and the media - everybody knew what the plan was and what we were going through.

The Rangers grabbed a 3-1 lead in the Eastern Conference Final after Sundays 3-2 overtime victory against the visiting Habs.SEATTLE - The final result was the same for Pete Carroll and the Seattle Seahawks, wearing NFC West champion hats in the locker room after a Week 17 victory over the St. Louis Rams.The process in getting to that point and clinching the No. 1 seed in the NFC playoffs for the second straight season was completely different.So there was a different satisfaction for Carroll and the Seahawks after Sundays 20-6 win over the Rams wrapped up the ninth division title in franchise history, the third under Carroll. This was not the mostly smooth ride Seattle experienced a year ago on its way to a championship.All you guys kept talking about how you cant do this and you cant get to this point again and you cant come back and all this stuff. You can. You can do it. And we did it to this point. And well see how well do in the playoffs, Carroll said. We got back to division champs and thats pretty rare. Im really proud of that.Marshawn Lynch scored on a 9-yard run with 12:07 remaining to take the lead, Bruce Irvin return an interception 49 yards for a TD and Seattle received another stellar defensive effort to close the season with six straight wins.Seattle, Green Bay and Dallas all finished 12-4, but the tiebreakers went to the Seahawks, who next play on Saturday, Jan. 10.Our main goal coming into the season was winning the division, but getting the No. 1 seed is just as big, Seattle linebacker K.J. Wright said.Getting home-field advantage seemed highly unlikely for the Super Bowl champs after losing at Kansas City and falling to 6-4. But Seattles closing run was perhaps more impressive than going 13-3 in the 2013 regular season.The Seahawks bulled through Arizona and San Francisco twice, won at Philadelphia and finally dispatched the pesky Rams.Seattle held five of its final six opponents to less than 10 points. The Seahawks became the first team since the 1969-71 Vikings to lead the NFL in scoring defence in three straight seasons, giving up 15.9 points per game.It just helps our case for a pretty great defence, linebacker Bobby Wagner said.Seattles defence came up with continuous big plays when needed, forcing three turnovers in the fourth quarter. Jordan Hill and Irvin had interceptions and Earll Thomas knocked the ball from Benny Cunningham at the 1-yard line as the Rams looked to score with six minutes left, sending the ball out of the end zone for a touchback.ddddddddddddAny other person in the league would have probably slowed down and let him score, Irvin said. Earl being one of our leaders, he leads by example. ... A play like that is all he has to do.Lynch finished with 64 yards on 15 carries. Russell Wilson was 17 of 25 for 239 yards and an interception in the first half. Paul Richardson led Seattle with five receptions for 60 yards.Shaun Hill was 26 of 37 for 243 yards for St. Louis. The Rams (6-10) finished with just 42 yards rushing and no play longer than 20 yards.

On the first play of the fourth quarter, St. Louis tried to set up a screen pass to Tre Mason. Shaun Hill attempted to throw the ball away, but Jordan Hill got his hands down quick enough to intercept the pass.Seattle needed just six plays to take the lead. Wilson found Kevin Norwood uncovered for 31 yards to the Rams 9. Lynch then went untouched for his 17th touchdown of the season.The capper came less than three minutes later. St. Louis was driving near midfield and Hill attempted to find Lance Kendricks. Wagner knocked the ball from Kendricks and it ricocheted to Irvin. He ran untouched for his second TD this season.I wasnt even looking at the ball, it just ended up in my hands, Irvin said. Thats a sign of me living right.NOTES: Seattle was bitten by injuries in the fourth quarter. Jordan Hill suffered a sprained knee and Wright dislocated a finger. The most significant injury was backup safety Jeron Johnson dislocating his elbow. Carroll didnt have a timeframe on Johnson. ... St. Louis had three sacks and 39 over the final 11 games. ...
