ST. LOUIS -- Jonathan Quick got the Los Angeles Kings to overtime. Then last years Stanley Cup MVP gave it away. Alex Steen stole the puck from the unsuspecting goalie behind the net and scored a short-handed goal to give the St. Louis Blues a 2-1 victory over the defending Cup champions on Tuesday. "Its exactly what it looked like," Quick said. "I tried to make a play, he blocked it and scored." Win, lose or embarrassed, Quick said he moves on. "If we had won, I put it right away. If we lost like we did, I put it right away," Quick said. "It doesnt make a difference. Well try to win Game 2." Steen scored unassisted on a backhander at 13:26 of overtime less than a minute after Blues defenceman Kevin Shattenkirk was whistled for a double-minor high sticking when he cut Dustin Penner. Blues coach Ken Hitchcock was wondering how in the world his team would deny the Kings that long this late in the game when Quick appeared to dawdle a bit handling the puck and Steen swooped in, intercepting a clearing effort and quickly sliding it home. "I had fresh legs and I figured Id try him," Steen said. "I just got fortunate behind the net." Steen also scored on a power play in the first period for the Blues, who ended an eight-game losing streak against the team that swept them in the second round last spring. Getting to the goalie who won the Conn Smythe Trophy with a 1.41 goals-against average and .946 save percentage made it all the sweeter. "Its just such an emotional swing," Hitchcock said. "Youre down, figuring out how to kill a four-minute power play, and then the games over. "You hate to say things are must wins, but hopefully were going to gain a lot of confidence." The Kings were 4-0 in overtime during last seasons run to the Cup. "What are you going to do, sit back and feel sorry for yourself and then cost yourself two games?" defenceman Rob Scuderi said. "You can try to learn from your mistakes, dust yourself off and try to win a game on Thursday. Im hoping were going to pick the latter." Quick made 35 saves in regulation, keeping the Kings in it for Justin Williams tying goal with 31.6 seconds left. Before Steens shocker, the Kings had been on a roll, outshooting the Blues 7-0 after coach Darryl Sutter called a timeout. The Kings outscored the Blues 15-6 in the playoffs last season and 14-7 in three regular-season meetings. But they were thoroughly outplayed most of the way in Game 1, rescued time and time again by Quick including a few saves early on that he wasnt sure hed made judging by the backward glances. Williams 16th career playoff goal tied it at 1, not long after Quick was pulled for an extra attacker. Brian Elliot, who had three shutouts during the Blues 12-3 surge to finish the regular season, didnt hug the post and missed with the glove on Williams innocent-appearing shot from the right face-off circle. The Blues also got the first goal in the 2012 series opener when David Backes scored midway through the first period. The Kings tied it less than eight minutes later and never trailed the rest of the way against the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference. Steens second career playoff goal made the Kings pay for a too many men on the ice call. Shattenkirk made the play, retrieving the puck near the blue line and firing a slap shot that resulted in a big rebound and the lead at 9:05. The Blues were 0 for 17 on the power play in last years series and 2 for 11 this season. The Kings had a handful of chances to tie it on the power play in the waning seconds of the first. Elliott made two sprawling saves and got his glove on a backhander by Jeff Carter that hit the right goal post near the buzzer. During the Kings second-round sweep of St. Louis last spring, Elliott allowed 13 goals on 89 shots for an .854 save percentage. Hitchcock revealed before this series that Elliott had been battling an inner-ear infection since the end of the Blues first-round series win over the Sharks. Notes: Kings D Robyn Regehr went straight to the dressing room after getting his face bloodied by a skate in the opening minute of the third but only missed a few shifts.

TAMPA, Fla. -- Tuukka Rask and the Boston Bruins put together an all-around strong performance. Rask stopped 23 shots and five Boston players scored to help the Bruins beat the Tampa Bay Lightning 5-0 on Saturday night. "You want to win," Rask said. "You never want to let the team back in the game. Tonight, we gave them nothing and it paid off." Rask made a nifty glove save on Steven Stamkos point-blank redirection in the third period. It was the goalies first shutout this season and 17th overall. David Krejci, Adam McQuaid, Patrice Bergeron, Chris Kelly and Shawn Thornton scored for the Bruins, who have won six in a row against Tampa Bay. Boston leads the all-time series 50-20-9. "Everybody showed up from the drop of the puck tonight, and obviously it shows on the result," Bergeron said. With the game well in hand late in the third, Boston fans in attendance began chanting "Lets go, Red Sox!" One win from the World Series, the Red Sox were playing at the same time in Game 6 of the AL championship series at Fenway Park. "Not that I dont like you guys, but Id like to check out the game right now," Thornton said with a smile. "Everybody knows Im a fairly big Red Sox fan." The Lightning are 3-2 during a seven-game homestand. "The only thing good about tonight was, probably, the national anthem," coach Jon Cooper said. Stamkos called Tampa Bays perforrmance "embarrassing.dddddddddddd" "They wanted it more, and it showed," Stamkos said. "Unacceptable." Krejci stopped a nine-game goal drought to put the Bruins up 1-0 from the low slot off a pass from Milan Lucic 1:32 into the game. Krejci has a point in four straight games. After McQuaid scored his first goal in 24 games at 4:37 of the second, goals 55 seconds apart later in the period by Bergeron (14:52) and Kelly (15:47) made it 4-0. Thornton extended Bostons advantage to 5-0 just 34 seconds into the third as the left wing ended his 29-game goal drought. Tampa Bay goalie Ben Bishop, who won all five of his previous games this season, was pulled after Kellys goal and replaced by Anders Lindback. Bishop allowed four goals on 17 shots. Lightning defenceman Victor Hedman finished the game minus-5.
