The Los Angeles Kings and Pittsburgh Penguins have taken a 1-0 lead in the conference semi-finals after Tuesday.
Last night in Los Angeles, Jonathan Quick made 35 saves as the Kings defeated the San Jose Sharks to take a 1-0 series lead.
Slava Voynov and Mike Richards each notched a goal and an assist for the Kings.
The Penguins meanwhile got two points each from Evgeni Malkin and Chris Kunitz in a 4-1 win over Ottawa.
It looks like Penguins head coach Dan Bylsma has made a firm decision to move forward with goaltender Tomas Vokoun over Marc-Andre Fleury.
Vokoun, who is now a perfect 3-0 in the postseason, made 35 saves on 36 shot attempts.

The Vancouver Canucks are now only one loss away from being eliminated from the 2013 Stanley Cup Playoffs.
On Sunday night in the Shark Tank, the Canucks got hammered 5-2 to San Jose, who now have a 3-0 lead on Vancouver in the series.
Joe Pavelski and Logan Couture scored twice for the Sharks against a Canucks team that is completely dysfunctional at the moment. Canucks goaltender Cory Schneider was horrible last night in giving up five goals to the Sharks.
In other action, the Montreal Canadiens/Ottawa Senators series is starting to be extremely physical. Last night there were 236 minutes in penalties, and many of the penalties the Canadiens took should be described as stupid. Ottawa meanwhile won convincingly 6-1 as rookie Jean Gabriel-Pageau recorded a hat trick.
In other games, the Pittsburgh Penguins took a 2-1 series lead over the New York Islanders as Chris Kunitz scored the overtime winner in a 5-4 Pittsburgh win. While in Minnesota, the Wild won their first of the series with a 3-2 win over Chicago on an overtime winner from Jason Zucker. Chicago still leads 2-1.

Finally, the National Hockey League in Winnipeg returns this weekend as the Jets host the Montreal Canadiens at the MTS Center (Sunday, CBC, 3PM). When the Phoenix Coyotes moved to Winnipeg on July 1, 1996, Manitoba sports fans have been circling this date on their calendar. Fifteen years later and they finally have their wish. Players that will become household Jets’ names will include Andrew Ladd, Dustin Byfuglien, Bryan Little, Blake Wheeler and Evander Kane.
The Canadiens (0-1) meanwhile got off to a slow start as they lost 2-0 to the Toronto Maple Leafs Thursday night at the Air Canada Centre. James Reimer was brilliant in posting a shutout.

Chris Kunitz (Bing Images)
Two more players were suspended by the National Hockey League this afternoon.
Steve Downie of the Tampa Bay Lightning and Chris Kunitz of the Pittsburgh Penguins were suspended for separate incidents last night.
Downie was suspended for leaping at Penguin Ben Lovejoy at the end boards. Kunitz was suspended for elbowing Lightning forward Simon Gagne. Pittsburgh won 3-2 to take a 2-1 series lead.

Colin Campbell is a busy man these days!
The NHL’s head disciplinarian kicked off the 2011 playoffs by handing out a couple of early suspensions to LA’s Jarret Stoll (one game) and Anaheim’s Bobby Ryan (two games). He followed that up by deciding not to suspend Vancouver’s Raffi Torres for a controversial hit on Sunday night (even though Torres probably deserved at least a game or two), which drew the ire of the Chicago Blackhawks.
Well, after Monday night’s game between the Pittsburgh Penguins and the Tampa Bay Lightning, it looks like he’s got another couple of decisions to make! Tampa’s Steve Downie and Pittsburgh’s Chris Kunitz will both be hearing from the league on Tuesday, though my guess is that Kunitz will be the one facing a ban for his actions. (After the jump: Watch both incidents, plus an UPDATE on the situation) (more…)
