Los Angeles, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Dustin Brown scored the game-winning goal in the third period, sending the Los Angeles Kings to a 4-3 win over the Phoenix Coyotes at Staples Center. Rob Scuderi, Brad Richardson and Willie Mitchell also scored, while Anze Kopitar added a pair of assists for the Kings, who have won three of their last four games.

 

"Tonight we had a lot of shots," Brown said. "If we keep shooting the puck, they'll eventually go in and they did tonight."

 

Raffi Torres scored a pair and Daymond Langkow added the third goal for the Coyotes, who have lost back-to-back contests.

 

With the Kings leading 3-2, the difference-maker came at 7:06 of the third period when Brown accepted the puck on the right wing just inside the offensive blue line, cruised to the circle and fired a wrister that just squeezed through the pads of LaBarbara.

 

With less than two minutes to play, the Coyotes elected to pull McElhinny in favor of an extra attacker. They were able to get some good pressure on the Los Angeles net, but Quick stood tall and preserved the win for his team.

 

Phoenix tied the game at one at 5:58 of the first stanza when Torres blocked a shot and raced the length of the ice before snapping it over the right shoulder of Quick with a defender on his back.

 

Phoenix found another tying goal seven minutes into the second period when Patrick O'Sullivan hit Torres with a home run pass from deep in the defense zone all the way to the offensive blue line and the big forward broke in on goal and slid it through the five-hole of Quick to make it 2-2.

Big East Conference odds

Work left to do: Villanova, Syracuse, DePaul, West Virginia, Providence

Notre Dame and Louisville appear to have done enough to make the move, so we'll make them locks. The Cardinals, despite a modest RPI, are trending way up and have clinched at least a tie for third in the Big East, which should be more than enough with their pair of big road wins. Villanova got back to .500 and gets back to more solid footing. Syracuse got a very important road win and crippled a fellow contender in the process. West Virginia's fate could be in its hands Tuesday at Pitt.

Work left to do:

Villanova [18-9 (7-7), RPI: 21, SOS: 5] Pounded Rutgers to get back to .500. If Cats can get their last two (at UConn, vs. Syracuse), that should be enough with strong computer numbers and a host of wins away from The Pavilion. The Cats have beaten Texas and swept the Big 5 (never easy in Philly), but have a couple of losses to bubble teams (Xavier, Drexel), too. I still think they'll be OK, possibly even at 8-8.

Syracuse [20-8 (9-5), RPI: 53, SOS: 62] History says 10 wins will be plenty, but it might be hard for the Orange to get that last one with a final two vs. G'town, which is trying to win the league title, and at Villanova, which will be desperate for a W. The relative lack of nonconference heft and the weak computer numbers are still concerns, but the Orange have won four in a row and got a very, very big win at Providence on Saturday.

DePaul [16-12 (8-7), RPI: 54, SOS: 18] Beat Cincy and should get past South Florida to get to 9-7, but then what? They have beaten Kansas and Cal (right after the DeVon Hardin injury) earlier this season, but also have lost to Bradley and Purdue, among others. They'll likely need a couple of BE tourney wins, too, but we'll see ...

West Virginia [19-7 (8-6), RPI: 58, SOS: 125] The game at Pitt on Tuesday night could decide the Mountaineers' fate (barring a deep tournament run). They can still get to 9-7 in the Big East without it by beating Cincinnati, but the nine wins would be against UConn, Villanova, St. John's, South Florida, DePaul, Rutgers, Seton Hall twice and the Bearcats. Beating bubble foes is fine, but where's the beef? Outside of beating PG-less UCLA in nonconference play (still a top quality win), there's not a lot to fall back on (besides maybe NC State). WVU vs. Syracuse would be an interesting debate, as the teams don't play in the Big East regular season. WVU has the best win, but Cuse has played the much better schedule.

Providence [17-10 (7-7), RPI: 70, SOS: 33] The Friars likely saw their at-large hopes die at home in the four-point loss to Syracuse, barring an unexpected run to the Big East semis or more. The RPI, bad already, won't be helped by playing St. John's and South Florida in the final two league games.
