TORONTO -- Jonathan Bernier thought it was icing, and so did many of his Toronto Maple Leafs teammates. Haason Reddick Cardinas Jersey . When it wasnt, the puck banked off the boards and Berniers skate and into the net to give the Carolina Hurricanes a 3-2 comeback victory Thursday night at Air Canada Centre. The NHLs new hybrid icing rule played a role in Ron Hainseys game-winning goal because Radek Dvorak won the race to the faceoff dots over Morgan Rielly, but ultimately Bernier accepted the blame. "It was just a bad mistake by my part," he said. "I looked up and see where my options were. The puck was probably spinning a lot, and I misjudged it." It was a jarring ending to the night for Toronto, which lost starting goaltender James Reimer to a head injury just 32 seconds in and had a two-goal lead midway through the second period. Coach Randy Carlyle said Reimer had a "headache" after winger Josh Leivo accidentally collided with Reimer as the goalie was trying to cover the puck outside the crease. Bernier stopped the first 28 shots he faced before Aurora, Ont., native Ryan Murphy scored his first career NHL goal 2:54 into the third period on a Hurricanes power play. Murphys shot went in off Dave Bollands stick. That was a bad bounce, but it was also the first tangible evidence that the Leafs were in trouble. "Its your job to get back out there and take control of the game," winger Joffrey Lupul said. "We shouldve bounced back a little better, I thought." But the Hurricanes kept coming. From the start of the second period on, they outshot the Leafs 28-14 and eventually tied it on Eric Staals goal 6:48 into the third. The way the puck went right from Carolina defenceman Justin Faulks stick, off Carl Gunnarssons skate and to Staal had the Leafs wondering if they were due for things to turn against them after a fortuitous 6-1-0 start. "Some tough bounces, but its almost karma for the way weve been playing a little bit loose," defenceman Cody Franson said. There was some element of that to Hainseys game-winner, which the Leafs thought was going to go around the boards instead of deflecting back toward the net. The play happened quickly, but linesman Don Henderson waved off icing because Dvorak was the first player to the imaginary line across the faceoff dots in Torontos zone. "It was a great job by Radek going down the ice and getting down there to take away the icing," Hurricanes coach Kirk Muller said. "Next thing I know it was in the net. I said to (assistant coach John MacLean), What just happened? He said: I think we just scored. I think its going to count." It did, with Hainsey calling it "one of those lucky things that happens over time." Carlyle estimated that Dvorak had Rielly beat by about a foot. The 36-year-old Dvorak wasnt leaving it to chance. "With hybrid icing you never know," Dvorak said. "I saw the puck and I had good speed, so I tried to get in on the forecheck. Luckily for us, the puck went in." Lupul was going for a line change as the puck was going down the ice. Asked if the play made him reconsider his thoughts on hybrid icing, he made it clear he didnt see the goal either live or on replay. "Whatever, we (the players) voted yes on hybrid icing," he said. "I wont say my opinion, but you can tell what I voted." The NHL experimented with hybrid icing during the pre-season and it was implemented for the regular season after a vote by the Players Association. Replays indicated that Dvorak was first, but Bernier didnt play the puck because he figured it would be icing. Had the old rule been in place, Bernier might not have made a different decision, but that will never be clear. "Thats the new game, so weve all got to adjust," Bernier said. "But its not excuses." Carlyle noted that a short-side goal is a bad one in the NHL, and this one qualified even though it ricocheted off Berniers skate from behind the net. The only lesson he could impart to his players was to "never give up on the puck." Bernier, who finished with 34 saves on 37 shots, figures that "fluke" goals like that will happen from time to time. His Leafs teammates know that games like this will happen, too. "Obviously throughout an 82-game schedule, youre going to win some games you shouldnt and lose some that you probably shouldve won," Lupul said. "It has a way of equalling out in the end." NOTES -- Leivo scored his first career NHL goal 6:47 into the second period on a shot that went over Hurricanes goaltender Cam Wards left shoulder. "Its a great feeling," Leivo said. "Its a little bittersweet right now but a good chip by Bolland, I got past that D-man two-on-one, (Jay) McClement played a good decoy there and I just saw the top corner and put it short side." ... Leafs forward James van Riemsdyk missed his second straight game with back spasms. ... Ward finished with 24 saves on 26 shots. Chad Williams Youth Jersey . The 17-year-old had four goals and four assists in 38 games for Liberec in the Czech pro league this past season. Zacha had three goals and two assists in seven games at the world mens under-18 championship in April when the Czech Republic took the silver medal. Budda Baker Cardinas Jersey . With timely hitting and good pitching, the Marlins are one win away from sweeping the slumping Houston Astros. http://www.azcardinalsfanspro.com/Black-Haason-Red...ml?cat= 914 .Y. -- Defenceman Ryan Murphy had a goal and an assist and Drew MacIntyre made 24 saves to help the Carolina Hurricanes beat the New York Islanders 4-2 in an exhibition game Wednesday night. NEW YORK -- Jonathan Quick watched plenty of New York Rangers games on television while growing up in nearby Milford, Conn., but it was always a tough ticket to get into Madison Square Garden. Just once before he got on the ice at the age of 12 for an intermission pee-wee shootout, and then Monday night at the age of 28 the Los Angeles Kings goaltender made a much more memorable appearance. Quick shut out the Rangers 3-0 to put his team up three games to none in the Stanley Cup final and one victory away from a second title in three years. "You make one save and then you try to make the next," Quick said with little excitement in his voice after arguably his best performance in these playoffs. "We had a lot of guys that block shots, clear rebounds. Our (penalty kill) was very good tonight, possibly the difference in the game. You just make one save at a time and try to get ready for the next one." Of Quicks 32 saves, two of them stuck out. In the first period he got his stick on a shot by Mats Zuccarello that went off the post and was bound to deflect in, and in the second he extended his paddle to get a piece of Derick Brassards offering that couldve been just what the Rangers needed to get back into the game and perhaps the series. Quick couldnt remember what happened on either one. It was hard for anyone else to forget. "Hes one goalie that can save those kind of things," Kings defenceman Drew Doughty said. "Not to say that we expect those saves from him, but were so used to seeing them because they happen so often that its just normal business." After watching Quick win the Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP during Los Angeless 2012 Cup run, Dustin Brown isnt even in awe anymore. The Kings captain used to look up at the video board to figure out just how the puck stayed out of the net, but now he doesnt even bother. "The best example is playing at the Olympics and seeing other guys react to it and Im just sitting there because Ive played with him long enough and hes made enough of those saves you kind of expect him to do it," Brown said. "Its not shocking by any means. Hes been doing this all playoffs." Quick hadnt been doing quite this in these playoffs. Monday night was just his second shutout in 24 games this post-season, but it was the ninth of his NHL career. His stats during this run -- a 2.80 goals-against average and .906 save percentage going into Monday -- were hardly dazzling, but teammates were eager to give him credit for what had transpired before his masterful Game 3 showing. "All I know is everyones talking about Quickie and hes a big, big part of the reason were here because he is a goaltender that makes big saves at big times," Brown said. Quick did need some help and got it with goals from Jeff Carter, Jake Muzzin and Mike Richards. Carters goal with 0.7 seconds left in the first period stunned the sellout crowd of 18,000-plus in the first Cup final game at the Garden in 20 years. Carters seemingly innocent flick of a shot deflected off the skate of diving Rangers defenceman Dan Girardi before going in off Henrik Lundqvists glove. "I was reacting low and it went high," Lundqvist said. "Its just one of those plays where, with a little luck there that puck ends up in the netting or the glass. Unfortunately, half a second left and it ended up in our net. It was a tough play." That goal marked the first lead for the Kings since Game 6 of the Western Conference final against the Chicago Blackhawks. Los Angeles came back from two-goal deficits to win Games 1 and 2 at Staples Center. "It was a little bit easier scoring first, obviously," centre Anze Kopitar said. "Scoring at 0.7 left the first takes a little bit of wind out of their sails and energizes us." A rash of high-sticking penalties by the Rangers early in the second period didnt help, and Marc Staals led to Muzzins power-play goal. With Martin St. Louis trying to get his body in front of Muzzins shot from the point, the puck instead went off the Rangers winger and past Lundqvist 4:17 into the second period. Fans tried to generate some noise off the face-off, and the Rangers followed with plenty of chances to get back into the game. The power-play unit that entered the night 1-for-8 in the series managed some sustained pressure but came up empty thanks to Quicks brilliance. New York finished 0-for-6 on the power play in Game 3. Asked what went wrong in general, coach Alain Vigneault answered only: "We couldnt score." When Lundqvist was asked what happened, the usually charming media darling fired back: "Better question." What happened in the second period was the Rangers fell behind 3-0 as Richards got a two-on-one with Trevor Lewis, banked his initial shot off Ryan McDonagh and buried his second to put the Kings in cruise control. Despite 15 multi-goal comebacks already in these playoffs, an NHL record, a three-goal deeficit looked daunting even as the Rangers out-shot the Kings 32-15 overall because Quick appeared unbeatable. Budda Baker Jersey . Ultimately, he was. "He was obviously the best player on the ice tonight," Vigneault said of Quick. "Give them credit. They found a way to put the puck past our real good goaltender and we couldnt do it." Marian Gaborik, playing his first game back at the Garden since the Rangers traded him to the Columbus Blue Jackets at the 2013 deadline, called Quick the Kings "cornerstone" Monday night. Doughty termed him their "backbone" all the time. Monday night was a reminder of that to anyone who forgot how good Quick can be at his best. "I dont think he has to remind us too many times," Kopitar said. "We know what hes capable of. Thats why we love having him back there." Twice in Game 3 he made saves that earn him that kind of love and admiration and a place on highlight reels. At the 12:37 mark of the first, Zuccarello had a no-doubt goal from just in front, but his shot hit the post and then Quicks before going wide. "It was an empty-net goal, and he got a piece of it," Brown said. "That allowed us to get our legs going and not fall behind early." Quicks most spectacular of the night came 10:22 into the second on Brassards offering from the side of the net. A cross ice pass forced Quick to go full extension, and with his paddle almost parallel to the ice he kept it out. "It looked from the bench like the guy just missed it, but you look at the replay and he gets a piece of it," Brown said. "He has a different style than all the other goalies in the league. Hes just quick and he gets post-to-post faster than any goalie in the whole entire league." Now one victory away from a second championship in three years, Quick isnt a strong Conn Smythe candidate this time around. But in dominating against the Rangers on Monday night, he put the Kings on the verge of recapturing the trophy they really care about. "Hes still been very sharp for us and hes been a huge key for our success without a doubt," Doughty said. "Maybe he didnt have to stand on his head like he did in 2012 but tonight I thought he stood on his head." NOTES -- Neither team made any lineup changes from Game 2, which meant that Kings defenceman Robyn Regehr missed his 16th straight game with injury. David LeNevu again served as the Rangers backup goalie with Cam Talbot (undisclosed) still out. ... A handful of celebrities were featured on the arenas video screens, including New York Knicks forward Amare Stoudemire, late-night TV host Jimmy Fallon and actors Bryan Cranston and Robert De Niro. That dampened the enthusiasm of a crowd that included more than a few people who paid a premium to attend. Tickets on the secondary market were going for over US$1,000. As their realistic chances of making it a series hung in the balance, the Rangers didnt put together a season-saving performance. After falling behind, New York picked up two straight high-sticking penalties that could have been worse had defenceman Marc Staal not gotten away with an extra one on Kings captain Dustin Brown. Staals offensive-zone high-sticking penalty that did get called led to the Kings second goal of the night. With Martin St. Louis trying to get his body in front of Muzzins shot from the point, the puck instead went off the Rangers winger and past Lundqvist 4:17 into the second period. Fans tried to generate some noise off the face-off, and the Rangers followed with plenty of chances to get back into the game. The power-play unit that entered the night 1-for-8 in the series managed some sustained pressure but came up empty thanks to Quicks brilliance. The 2012 Conn Smythe Trophy winners best save of Game 3 came just after a New York power play expired, when he got his stick on what should have been a gimme goal for Derick Brassard at the side of the net. While Quick made saves look easy, Lundqvist got a break. The Kings didnt manage a shot on net for more than nine minutes in the second period. When they got back on track, it didnt take long to suck the rest of the air out of the Garden. With Trevor Lewis accompanying him on a two-on-one rush, Richards took an initial shot that hit Rangers defenceman Ryan McDonagh, and the Kings forward buried the second offering to make it 3-0 at 17:14. A record 15 multi-goal comebacks have meant no lead is safe in these playoffs. But Quicks stellar play ensured this would not be the 16th.
