| The LA Kings are going back to the Stanley Cup finals for the first time in 19 years, after beating the Phoenix Coyotes 4-3 in overtime Tuesday night. The winning goal came from Dustin "Pancakes" Penner, deep into a chippy extra frame of the best game this Western conference final had to offer.
Now, the Kings will move on to face either the New York Rangers or the New Jersey Devils in the finals. The last time LA made it this far was in 1993, when the Wayne Gretzky-led Kings lost to the Montreal Canadiens.

| GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) The Los Angeles Kings certainly weren't bothered by a long layoff. The Phoenix Coyotes sure seemed to be.
