LOS ANGELES, Calif. - The Los Angeles Kings spent much of the afternoon trapped in their own end while the Minnesota Wild pelted them with 41 shots.Thanks to Jonathan Quick and two more timely contributions from That 70s Line, the Kings are still perfect on their homestand.Quick made 40 saves and Tyler Toffoli had a goal and an assist in the Kings fourth straight victory, 2-1 over the Minnesota Wild on Sunday.Toffoli scored an early power-play goal and Tanner Pearson added a third-period goal for the defending Stanley Cup champions, who are dominating their six-game homestand despite long stretches of indifferent offensive play.I dont think weve had our game for the last little while, centre Jarret Stoll said. Were winning on penalty-killing and goaltending.Thats enough when the champions can get incredibly consistent production from That 70s Line — the Jersey-number-inspired nickname for Jeff Carters combo with youngsters Toffoli and Pearson. The trio has scored 11 of Los Angeles 14 goals this season.The NHLs best defensive team last season is back in top form again. Cookes goal was just the third by Los Angeles opponents in 245 minutes during the homestand, and Quick was stellar in the Kings crease after tying Rogie Vachons franchise record with his 32nd career shutout Thursday.Sometimes on a longer homestand, it gets to be the same thing every day, so we knew we had to get up for these guys, Quick said. Its good to get that level of competition on a homestand.Niklas Backstrom stopped 14 shots and Matt Cooke scored with 13:13 to play for the Wild, who lost back-to-back games in Southern California despite largely impressive performances.I feel like we controlled a lot of the play, but Quick played a fantastic game, Minnesota forward Zach Parise said about his U.S. Olympic teammate. I guess everyone has kind of grown accustomed to seeing a game like that out of him. I like how were playing. Our system is working really well, so well be fine. We just played two very good teams, and we played very well as a whole in both of the games. We just couldnt find a goal.Los Angeles held the Wild scoreless on five power plays, extending Minnesotas season-opening drought to 0 for 16. The Wild repeatedly cycled the puck in the Kings end, but Quick was on top of almost everything that came his direction.Theres not much that we can change besides scoring goals, Minnesota forward Thomas Vanek said. Its not like were trying to be too pretty. We were shooting a lot. We were tipping. We were going for loose rebounds. But Quick was on his game, which we all knew. Hes a world-class goalie, and he showed that today.Backstrom was solid in his first start of the season for Minnesota. He hadnt played since Jan. 30 after undergoing surgery on his abdomen and hip last season.Toffoli jumped on a loose puck to score the Kings second power-play goal in 19 tries this season — and Minnesotas first power-play goal allowed — after Mike Richards pass deflected off Ryan Suters skate in the crease.Minnesota dominated long stretches of the first two periods, and rookie Christian Folin sparked the Wild when he sent Anze Kopitar into the boards with a ferocious check, prompting Richards to instigate a fight.Pearsons linemates set up his team-leading fifth goal early in the third period, with Toffoli feeding him in the slot for a one-timer.Cooke finally scored on a backhand when he was left unguarded in front of Quick, whose shutout streak ended at more than 111 minutes.former Minnesota forward Marian Gaborik missed his third straight game for the Kings, and defenceman Jake Muzzin still hasnt played this season. Both Stanley Cup winners are out with injuries.NOTES: Minnesota scratched rookie D Matt Dumba, the last player to touch the puck on the turnover that led to Corey Perrys winning goal for Anaheim on Friday night.

A good season, yes, but as star running back Jon Cornish pointed out, people will remember this years Grey Cup winner before they remember Calgarys 14-4 record in the regular season.BOSTON -- Boston Celtics coach Brad Stevens suggested to forward Jared Sullinger that he might want to keep an eye on Kevin Love and try to learn whatever he could from the Timberwolves big man. For one quarter on Monday night, Sullinger schooled the Minnesota all-star. Sullinger had 15 points and six rebounds in the fourth, hitting a tie-breaking 3-pointer with 2:22 left and the Celtics held on to beat the Timberwolves 101-97. Sullinger, a second-year player who missed half of last season, had 24 points and 11 rebounds in all while adding a career-high five assists. "He did take it up a notch at the end," Stevens said of Sullinger, who made one 3-pointer all last season but pulled himself above 30 per cent from the arc this season. "Hes a scorer. Hes always been a scorer. Hes been a scorer as long as Ive known him. It never surprises me when scorers make plays." Avery Bradley scored 19 points for the Celtics, who won for the fifth time in seven games to hold onto first place in the Atlantic Division despite a 12-14 record that would be 12th-best in the Western Conference. Love had 27 points and 14 rebounds for Minnesota, which has not won in Boston since 2005. But he was 2 for 11 from 3-point range as the Timberwolves, who hit a season-high 12 3-pointers at Memphis on Sunday, went 8 of 29 from beyond the arc. "I shot the ball good, it just didnt go in," Love said. "It was that way for all of our team. ... We shot the ball pretty bad the whole game. We beat that team the majority of the time we play them." Love hit a 3-pointer to give Minnesota a 92-90 lead with 3:48 to play, then Jordan Crawford tied it from the right baseline. Sullinger missed a baby hook putback for Boston, but Alexey Shved missed a 3-pointer and Sullinger then hit his 3 from the top of the key to give Boston the lead for good. "We made the right plays and I happened to be the beneficiary," Sullinnger said.dddddddddddd "I was just wide open. I passed up a lot of shots in the third quarter when I was wide open." Stevens said hed like to see Sullinger do that more. "Kevin is considered an elite NBA player, and Jared is a rising NBA player. You look up to those guys, you study them and you figure out what they do to make themselves elite," Stevens said. "If theres a person in basketball that you can identify with, those are good guys to learn from." Boston led 95-94 when Sullinger grabbed the rebound of J.J. Bareas miss and made free throws with 18 seconds left to make it a three-point game. Nikola Pekovic missed a dunk, then Sullinger grabbed another rebound and made one of two free throws with 14 seconds left to help ice it. After Love missed a 3, Sullinger grabbed another rebound. Bradley had 10 points in the first quarter to help the Celtics open an eight-point lead. Love had six points and five rebounds for Minnesota after one, but it was Luc Mbah a Moute who led the Timberwolves in the second quarter, scoring seven points with four rebounds to help them open a one-point lead before Sullingers free throws just before the half gave Boston a 51-50 edge. Pekovic scored the first seven points of the second half -- all but a free throw in the lane -- to help the Wolves take a 57-51 lead. But Boston went on a 17-4 run to turn the six-point deficit into a seven-point lead. NOTES: Berea had 10 points and 11 assists for Minnesota. ...
