LOS ANGELES, Calif. - The line of Jeff Carter, Tyler Toffoli and Tanner Pearson is putting up big numbers for the surging Los Angeles Kings.Carter, Toffoli and Pearson each scored and combined for 10 points in a 5-2 victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets on Sunday, helping the Kings complete a sweep of their six-game homestand. Altogether, they have 16 of the teams first 22 goals this season and have collected 17 assists.Our lines working pretty well right now, said Pearson, who scored twice in the third period. Were getting chances at the net and things are happening for us. Youve got to ride it when you can.The game was marred by a frightening injury to Columbus left wing Nick Foligno with 11:34 left in third period. Carter checked him along the boards in front of the Kings bench and Folignos head rammed into the elbow of linesman Shane Heyer, who had jumped on top of the dasher in an attempt to avoid both players.Foligno was put in a neck brace and wheeled off the ice on a stretcher after a long delay.Youre more concerned about your teammate and the person than you are about the game. The game obviously becomes secondary, coach Todd Richards said. My understanding is that hes alert, and hell be travelling back with us.Teammate Ryan Murray added: We know its serious when he does stay down, and we were all worried about him and praying for the beat.The Kings swept a homestand of at least six games for the first time in franchise history, according to STATS. In two of the wins, they were outshot 43-18 by St. Louis and 41-16 by Minnesota.Even before it began, we felt from a team perspective that we wanted to have a solid homestand and come away with more wins than losses, Pearson said. Now weve just got to keep it going.Dwight King also scored for the Kings, and Jonathan Quick made 22 saves. Quick, who broke Rogie Vachons club record with his 33rd shutout on Thursday in a 2-0 victory over Buffalo, has yielded just four goals on 169 shots over his last five starts — including a 1-0 shootout win against the Blues.Columbus goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky, who was looking for his 100th NHL victory, stopped 22 shots. Defenceman Tim Erixon scored his first NHL goal and Mark Letestu also scored for Columbus.Kings defenceman Robyn Regehr assisted on the go-ahead goal at 16:30 of the second period. His long slap shot hit traffic in front, but Carter set up Toffoli at the left of the net for his fourth goal.For a good part of the game we were competing, working hard and doing a lot of good things against the defending Stanley Cup champions, Richards said. But there were a couple of plays where we just shut down for a moment in our own zone, the puck was in the back of our net, and all the hard work went out the window.King and Letestu traded goals in final 1 1/2 minutes of the second period. Letestu beat Quick high to the glove side with a screened wrist shot from the top of the left circle just 32 seconds after King got his first of the season.Pearson increased the Kings lead to 4-2 with 8:11 to play, outracing James Wisniewski to a loose puck after Toffoli flipped it across high in the air across the neutral zone from deep in his own end.We were out there for a little while, so I was kind of tired and just kind of flipped it out, Toffoli said. Obviously Tanner can skate, he got there and made a great shot.Erixons goal at 14:39 of first, which came during Drew Doughtys interference penalty, ended the Kings streak of 18 consecutive penalty kills.Kings defenceman Matt Greene, who spent 17 minutes of the first period in the penalty box after his fight with Corey Tropp, pushed Artem Anisimov into Quick at the left of the net at 1:32 of second — and Anisimov was penalized for goalie interference by referee Dennis LaRue.Johansens hooking penalty gave Kings a 5-on-3 advantage for 50 seconds, and Carter scored the tying goal 22 seconds later after Anze Kopitar fanned on Toffolis pass through the crease. Kopitar played 15 shifts totalling about 10 1/2 minutes before leaving the game with an upper-body injury.Columbus right wing Cam Atkinson did not play after getting cut near the right eye by the skate of Anaheims Ryan Kesler during Fridays 4-1 loss.NOTES: Eight minutes into the second period, Quick joined Vachon and Kelly Hrudey as the only goaltenders to play at least 20,000 minutes in a Kings uniform during the regular season. ... The Blue Jackets, who entered the league in 2000-01, are 6-25-5 with two ties during the regular season against teams that were defending a Stanley Cup title. ... Erixons first goal came in his 59th NHL game, and on his 39th shot on net. ... Los Angeles begins the first of four five-game road trips on Tuesday against Philadelphia. None of its trips this season is longer than five. Nike Shoes Online Canada Cheap .

TORONTO -- Kyle Lowry scored on an awkward, lurching 31-foot buzzer-beater just before halftime Wednesday, a circus shot that left him sprawled, grinning on his stomach on the Air Canada Centre floor. The Raptors very nearly spoiled what was the point guards finest performance -- in a playoff series full of them -- while holding on for a 115-113 victory over the Brooklyn Nets. Lowry poured in 36 points in the victory that gave the Raptors a 3-2 lead in their best-of-seven playoff series. "He is great, he did a great job," Raptors coach Dwane Casey said. "But this game tonight, we have got to learn from it because there are so many learning experiences from tonights game. Having the lead, (handling) prosperity, embracing the pressure. "Kyle. . . 36 points is huge. Huge for us." DeMar DeRozan added 23 points, while Jonas Valanciunas finished with 16 and Greivis Vasquez added 15. Amir Johnson chipped in with 11 points for the Raptors who gave up a 26-point lead in the fourth quarter, making for some tense moments at the ACC, but held on for the victory. When asked to describe the emotions of a fourth quarter that saw the Nets score 44 points, Casey answered: "You wouldnt want to hear it." The series heads back to Brooklyns Barclays Center for Game 6 on Friday, and a victory there would send them to a second-round series against the Miami Heat. A Game 7, if necessary, would be Sunday in Toronto. The Raptors controlled the game through the second and third quarters, when it seemed they could do no wrong, and led by 26 points twice late in the third. They headed into the fourth up 91-69 and appeared poised to cruise to an easy victory, but the Nets had plenty of fight left, tying the game at 101 on a three-pointer by Joe Johnson with 3:16 to go, stunning the crowd. Lowry drained the go-ahead three and then scored on a driving hook shot to put Toronto up by three points with 27 seconds left. A three and foul shot by Anderson pulled the Nets to within a point, but Andray Blatche -- with Lowry running right at him -- turned the ball over on a backcourt violation sealing the Raptors victory. "Hes a helluva player," DeRozan said of Lowry. "Its just that dog in him. . . Every time hes out there on the court, understand, Im going to give my best effort, because I know hes going to do the same." Lowry, playing with his right knee in a protective sleeve after injuring it in Game 3 in Brooklyn, has been solid all series, but took it to another level Wednesday, providing all kinds of highlight-reel plays. There was the diving three at the halftime buzzer. There was the 85-foot outlet pass that found an unmarked Terrence Ross under the basket. But the point guard was particularly big down the stretch, taking charges and slicing through the Nets defence for tough buckets. "When we needed a big shot, No. 7 came through. Kyle was unbelievable," said Raptors forward Chuck Hayes. "Theres nothing more you can say. Hes doing it at the right time on the biggest stage. "We need an answer, we call Kyle. Kyle will figure it out." It was the kind of game the Raptors would have coughed up down the stretch last season, and Casey said the team does take something from holding on for a win.dddddddddddd "But we cant live that way. Our history has been pretty good in the fourth quarter, but tonight, for whatever reason, they flipped the switch and flipped the script," the coach said. Joe Johnson led the Nets with 30 points, while Mirza Teletovic added 17, and Deron Williams and Alan Anderson finished with 13 apiece. The teams split the first two games in Toronto, and did the same in Games 3 and 4 in Brooklyn. A Game 7, if necessary, would be Sunday in Toronto. "One game at a time and we have to take care of home," said Pierce. "I think we will play better on Friday at home and we will see them back here on Sunday." The capacity ACC crowd of 20,393 that included Drake and rapper 50 Cent -- who dipped his head when the camera was on him to show fans his "Northern Uprising" hat -- was loud all game long, from the moment the fans sang along to O Canada to the final buzzer. The arena was a sea of white, as fans wore their white "We The North" T-shirts. They mocked the Nets by chanting "Broo-klyn!" the traditional chant at the Barclays Center. The Nets even took note, posting on the teams official Twitter account: ".Nets fans take note- this is what a playoff crowd sounds like..set your DVD and take notes .RAPTORSvNETS." Despite the rain and chilly temperatures, some 4,500 fans jammed into Maple Leaf Square outside the ACC to watch the game on the big screen. They were given rain ponchos. Some 1,200 fans were also given black and gold OVO/Raptors lint-rollers, a nod to Drake using a lint-roller while sitting courtside during Game 2. An array of Toronto sports celebrities took the stage, including Toronto FCs Jermain Defoe, Michael Bradley and Julio Cesar, and former Raptors Morris Peterson and Jerome Williams. "Ive never seen support like this. This is special," Defoe said in an on-stage interview. Cesar, wearing a No. 7 Raptors jersey, yelled "Lets go Raptors!" This series has been spirited from Day 1 when Raptors GM Masai Ujiri took the stage and dropped his famous F-bomb about Brooklyn. An enterprising man outside the ACC on Wednesday was selling F--- Brooklyn buttons, three for $5. Fans were wearing the same on T-shirts at the game. Johnson led the way with nine points for Toronto in a first quarter that saw neither team lead by more than six. The Raptors ended the quarter with a 10-2 run capped by a Lowry three-pointer that put Toronto up 28-25 going into the second. The Raptors trailed by four points with just over five minutes to go in the second, but finished the quarter on a 26-4 run capped by Lowrys three, part of a 13-point performance in the quarter for the point guard. The Raptors went into the locker-room at halftime buoyed by a 62-44 lead. The third quarter has been the Raptors nemesis in this series, but not so on Wednesday. They didnt take their foot off the pedal, shooting 58 per cent to twice go ahead by 26 points. Toronto went into the fourth with a 91-69 lead. ' ' '
