Red Wings Outgun Kings

"I never dreamed anything like this would happen," Detroit's Larry Murphy said. "I'll just bet that even if we win the Stanley Cup, there won't be another game like this."

Martin Lapointe scored three times and Kris Draper and Nick Lidstrom each added two goals for Detroit, while Ziggy Palffy had two goals for the Kings and Luc Robitaille had a goal and two assists.

"Obviously, it's special when you score three goals in a playoff game, but I don't think there will be any more games like this in the series," Lapointe said. "I'm sure both teams will make defensive adjustments before Game Three."

The teams combined 87 shots on goal, Detroit outshooting Los Angeles 44-43.

"I think we proved today that we aren't going to go away," Kings coach Andy Murray said. "They had a lot of chances to bury us tonight, and we wouldn't let them. We kept hanging around."
