CALGARY -- Jonathan Quick set a club record on Wednesday and elevated the Los Angeles Kings into a playoff position at the same time. Quick stopped all 19 shots he faced to backstop the Kings to a 3-0 win over the Calgary Flames. In the process he recorded his ninth shutout of the 2011-12 campaign to break the previous club record of eight that he shared with Rogatien Vachon, who set the previous standard in the 1976-77 season. "That was great," said Quick in regards to setting the record. "I think nothing but the best about Rogie and what hes done for this organization. I feel like it was kind of a -- not to say it in a bad way -- but like a matter of time just because of the way the games going, how defensive minded it is and how goals are so hard to come by nowadays." Willie Mitchell, Dustin Brown and Justin Williams scored for the Kings (38-27-12), who snapped a two-game losing streak and moved into a tie for seventh place in the Western Conference with the San Jose Sharks (39-28-10), who lost 3-1 at Anaheim. "At the end of the day though is its two points," Quick said. "Thats all that matters right now. Its a big road win for us." Anze Kopitar had two assists for the Kings, who blanked their opponents for the 10th time this season to tie a club record set in 2000-01. The Kings have also been shut out 10 times this season although they earned a 1-0 shootout win over the St. Louis Blues in one of those games on March 22 at home. After the victory, Williams praised Quick for his shut-out performance. "Hes our MVP this year by far," Williams said. "Even though we were up 1-0 (after the first), they got a couple of chances on the power play and he shut them down. Hes been stellar for us all year and in the biggest game of the year we needed him." Quick also drew rave reviews for his play from Calgary forward Michael Cammalleri. "Hes had a tremendous season," Cammalleri said. "Obviously I played in L.A. and I know some guys that are there ... and thats all they can do is rave about him. As a player I dont like to give goalies very much respect. I feel like its the kiss of death, but hats off to him for the season hes had. Hes done a fantastic job." Miikka Kiprusoff stopped 27-of-30 shots he faced in the Calgary net. The Flames (35-28-15) have gone 1-3-3 in their past seven games and are three points behind the Kings for the final playoff berth in the Western Conference with four games remaining. "I just thought our decision making was a step slow tonight and theirs was probably half a step quick," Cammalleri said. "Its not good. The result was them executing both ways and us making poor decisions and allowing them to execute and not forcing them to defend us." After going 3-for-6 on the power play during their 5-4 win over the Dallas Stars at home on Monday, the Flames failed to score on four chances with the man advantage against the Kings. "Its a credit to the way the guys played in front of me," Quick said. "They were solid all night long as far as defensively goes. We did a great job on the (penalty kill). We weathered a few storms on the PK there." On the first shift of the game, the Kings hemmed the Flames into their own zone, but Kiprusoff turned aside shots by Rob Scuderi, Jeff Carter and Drew Doughty. The Kings kept pressing through and were rewarded at 5:03 of the opening frame when Mitchell did a great job to keep the puck in at the point before blasting a shot through traffic that snuck through Kiprusoffs legs. Later in the first period with the Flames killing a penalty to Scott Hannan for interference, Kiprusoff made a great glove grab to stop a blistering slapshot off the stick of Drew Doughty. At the other end of the ice, Quick made a pad save to deny a scoring opportunity by Alex Tanguay before the L.A. netminder also made a shoulder save to turn aside a shot from the slot by Jay Bouwmeester. Brown put the Kings up 2-0 at 4:22 of the second period when he converted a feed from Kopitar to finish off a nice give-and-go play. The Kings played a stifling defensive system in the third period and held the Flames to just four shots. Quicks only real test came at the mid-way mark of the final period when he stood his ground to stop a shot from the slot off the stick of Blake Comeau. "They played well and kept us in our end," said Calgary forward Lee Stempniak. "We didnt really have an answer on how to break their pressure and play in their end a little more and that was the difference in the game." Williams then scored an empty-net goal to seal the victory. Notes: L.A. and Calgary split the season series as the Kings won twice at the Saddledome, while the Flames won both times they played at the Staples Center. ... The Kings are 26-0-3 this season and 84-0-6 in their past 91 games when leading after the second period. ... Since Darryl Sutter took over as L.A.s head coach, the Kings have compiled a 23-13-8 record. ... Before the game, Calgary defenceman Mark Giordano was honoured as one of this years recipients of the J.R. McCaig Award.

Daniels scored 19 of his 27 points in the second half, and the Huskies hung on for an 81-76 victory Friday to reach the East Regional final a year after UConn was barred from the NCAA tournament.BOSTON - First, a warning: There will be no in-depth statistical analysis here of what happened at Fenway Park on Sunday night. There will be no attempt to affirm, or deny, the existence of the clutch hitter in baseball and whether David Ortiz fits the bill. Instead, there will be the celebration of a moment, or a series of moments, in an epic game of what has the makings of being an epic American League Championship Series. The experience, sitting in the right field auxiliary press box, began before the first pitch. Flat-screen televisions are fastened to the top of the green beams supporting the second deck. Early arrivers sat, necks craned, glued to the last-minute, game-winning touchdown drive Tom Brady was completing down the road in Foxborough. When receiver Kenbrell Thompkins caught the pass to secure a 30-27 win over the New Orleans Saints, a raucous cheer went up, surely a strange scene for the handful of Detroit Tigers who remained on the field at the end of batting practice. Less than an hour later, Game 2 began. Mathematically speaking it wasnt a must-win game for the Red Sox, but Justin Verlander is on deck for the Tigers in Tuesdays Game 3 and to be down a couple and heading to Detroit, well, you get the picture. Having been one-hit by Anibal Sanchez and four Tigers relievers in a 1-0 loss to open the series the night before, Bostons hitters picked up where they left off. Detroits Max Scherzer was every bit the Cy Young Award winner hes likely to be. He struck out two Red Sox in each of the first three innings, racked up another strikeout and a double play in the fourth and another strikeout in the fifth. At that point, Scherzer had yet to allow a hit. In the meantime, the Tigers had scored a run in the second on a Victor Martinez double and Alex Avila RBI single. Then came the sixth, when Detroit batted around, scoring four runs on five hits and chasing Red Sox starter Clay Buchholz from the game. Detroit led 5-0. Scherzer was more than halfway toward a no-hitter. It was happening again, just like the night before, except the deficit was much larger. With no ghosts of Ruth, Gehrig, DiMaggio and Mantle to draw upon, Boston would later find out that the living, in this case the lone holdover from both the 2004 and 2007 championship teams, would create a special moment. The Red Sox got on the board with one out in the sixth when Shane Victorino singled, ending Scherzers no-hit bid, before Dustin Pedroia doubled him home. In the blink of an eye Boston had scored a run and pieced together two hits in a game – new ground for the home side in this young series.dddddddddddd And its worth mentioning, when Victorino singled the crowd roared. But they werent mocking the dry Red Sox offence; they were trying to spurn them on. As Pedroias at-bat played out, a hearty “Lets Go Red Sox” chant filled Fenway. Give the fans an inch and theyll attempt to take the mile, or at the very least remind the local heroes who has their backs. Scherzer worked a clean seventh, the score was still 5-1, and his night was finished. Cue the eighth, which proved to be the return of the Tigers not-so-vaunted bullpen. The four-headed monster of Joaquin Benoit, Drew Smyly, Jose Veras and Al Alburquerque did a fine job in Game 1. Sunday evening, not so much. Veras started the inning getting Stephen Drew on a ground out. But then, Will Middlebrooks doubled. Tigers manager Jim Leyland went into matchup mode, calling for the left-handed Smyly to deal with the left-handed Jacoby Ellsbury. Except, in what was the pivotal at-bat in the inning before the heroics, Smyly walked Bostons centrefielder. Alburquerque was summoned and struck out Shane Victorino but then allowed a single to Pedroia, loading the bases with two outs for Ortiz. Leyland had left-hander Phil Coke, who hadnt pitched in a big league game since September 18, and his closer, the right-hander Benoit, warming in the bullpen. Leyland elected Benoit. Benoits first pitch to Ortiz, a changeup, was sent on a line over the right-centerfield wall and into the Red Soxs bullpen. Ortizs good friend, Tigers right fielder Torii Hunter, launched himself over the short fence in an attempt to make the catch, but to no avail. The game was tied 5-5. The crowd erupted. Many more of them, and much louder, than had bellowed during batting practice when Brady launched his game-winning touchdown pass. Ortiz had authored yet another moment in his sparkling Red Sox career, cemented an inning later when Jarrod Saltalamacchias walk off single scored Jonny Gomes with the winning run. Again, pandemonium. After everything, boil it down and the series is tied at a game apiece with the venue shifting to Comerica Park on Tuesday afternoon. Much has been made of this first-ever playoff matchup between two of baseballs iconic franchises, these Red Sox and Tigers. Buckle up, its just getting started. Looks like the first times a charm.
