On a night that required sweat and skill, the Kings got both in a 2-1 overtime victory against the New Jersey Devils in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final on Wednesday night. Center Anze Kopitar scored on a breakaway 8 minutes 13 seconds into overtime, moving the Kings to within three victories of their first Cup in franchise history.

Jonathan Quick recorded his 11th straight road playoff win, dating to last year, moving past Billy Smith of the New York Islanders. The goal given up by Quick was a wild one, deflecting in off teammate Slava Voynov late in the second period to make it 1-1. The goal was credited to defenseman Anton Volchenkov. "It's a bounce. That's part of the game," Quick said. What took 68:13 gave the Kings their first win in the best-of-seven series, most of those minutes decidedly untidy and almost all of them sweltering at the Prudential Center. Not only were they dealing with a different in-arena climate, but they had to try to solve a, well, different goalie. The Kings were often befuddled by the Devils' Martin Brodeur, who threw some old-school looks at them. Until Kopitar solved Brodeur with a forehand deke, the only other Kings' player to get one past Brodeur was fourth-line forward Colin Fraser, who made it 1-0 at 9:56 of the first period. Brodeur stopped defenseman Drew Doughty in the third period with a double-stack pad save. "I didn't expect that at all," Doughty said. "We watched tons of video on him before the series started. We knew he was a different kind of goalie. He does things you don't see." So does Kopitar. But no one missed the move he put on Brodeur after the Devils got caught on a rare bad read in overtime. Kopitar's linemate, Justin Williams, who was along the boards, hit him with an area pass, and Kopitar's uncanny skill set took over in open ice with a little assist from his memory bank. "I went forehand," Kopitar said. "I guess that goes back a few years when, you know, we were in the shootout in L.A., and I went backhand on him. Maybe he thought I was going to do it again. Tonight I just wanted to mix it up a little bit." Brown was asked when he thought the Kings had the game in hand and he chuckled. "When I was laying on the ice and Kopi had the puck," he said. "It was about the only time. It happened pretty quick." The troublesome conditions were noticeable in the arena and the puzzle of the bouncing puck hit a note with some NHL players watching on TV. Jordan Eberle of the Edmonton Oilers tweeted during the game: "Who built the square rink in New Jersey. The puck has bounced out of the one corner like 10 times."
