EL SEGUNDO, CALIF. Sam Shields Jersey . – It may end up being the key matchup in the first-ever playoff series between the Los Angeles Kings and Anaheim Ducks. A stingy defence led by Drew Doughty against an explosive offence led by Hart Trophy nominee Ryan Getzlaf and Corey Perry. "Hit and hope," is all Kings head coach Darryl Sutter would say on Friday when asked how his team can slow down the Ducks dynamic duo. Luckily, Sutters top defenceman was willing to go a bit more in-depth. "Ive played Getzlaf and Perry so many times," said Doughty. "Ive played with them [most recently at the Sochi Olympics], I know exactly how they play. I study how they play. Theyre two of the hardest players to play in the league, no matter who is the third guy on that line. Its such a hard line to play against. But, like I said, Ive studied how they play so many times that I know exactly what theyre going to do and it just comes down to out-competing them, being a better player in every situation. "Its going to be tough for me to do, but I have to do it." Doughty, who averaged 26:31 of ice time per game during the first round win over the San Jose Sharks, will see a lot of Anaheims top line along with his defence partner Jake Muzzin. "Those two have been together for a long time," said Muzzin when asked about Getzlaf and Perry. "They have a lot of chemistry between each other and they kind of know where theyre going to be on certain plays. So you have to be very clear on where they are on the ice and be very vocal with each other on defending that top line." But the adjustment shouldnt be too tough for the Kings. Doughty is expecting a similar series to what his team experienced against the Sharks. "Theyve got really good forwards, especially their top guys are really good like San Joses," he said. "I think we can take advantage in some parts of the game with their defence, like we could with San Jose as well. I think Anaheim has maybe a little bit better of a goalie, so itll be harder to get it past him. I think its going to be the same type of game. Theyre going to get in on the forecheck. Their forecheck is a little bit different, but they actually come harder than San Jose, surprisingly. So we know theyre going to create off that." And Doughty warned against focusing too much on the Ducks dynamic duo, who combined for 74 goals in the regular season (28 per cent of Anaheims league-leading 263 goals). "For most of the season it wasnt really Getzlaf and Perry, who dominated our team," explained Doughty, "it was kind of the third, fourth-line guys like [Nick] Bonino, [Andrew] Cogliano and [Patrick] Maroon and guys like that so we got to pay special attention to them to." Getzlaf had one goal and one assist in the five regular season games against the Kings while Perry had two goals and two assists. Bonino had one goal and two assists, Cogliano had one goal, while Maroon had two goals in four games. Doughty remembers the Ducks secondary scoring being a key factor in the season series, which saw Anaheim win four of the five encounters, including an outdoor game at Dodger Stadium. But what stood out to Sutter during the regular-season showdowns? "We played two really good games in their building," Sutter said, leaving it at that. The teams split the two games at the Honda Center where the series will open on Saturday and where Ducks coach Bruce Boudreau will have the advantage of last line change. Sutter was in fine form on Friday in his meeting with the media, which lasted a little under three minutes with a good chunk of that being awkward silence following short answers. The first question to Sutter was: whats the biggest challenge your team will face in the second-round series? "Were playing indoors," a deadpan Sutter stated. "We heard originally the whole series was going to be played at either the Angels stadium or at the Dodgers. So now we found out today that theres actually four in Honda and three at Staples [Center], so weve got a lot of work to do to get that figured out." Its a little warm to play outside, a reporter retorted referencing the high of 35 degrees celsius in Orange County. "Its supposed to cool off, though," Sutter responded, not missing a beat. The Kings had no problem handling the heat against the Sharks as they became just the fourth team in NHL history to win a best-of-seven series after losing the first three games. And one player who has adapted well to the Hollywood spotlight is the 25-year-old Muzzin. Muzzin has proven worthy of the top-pairing assignment during just his second trip to the NHL post-season. Last year, Muzzin picked up three assists in 17 playoff games while averaging 15:50 of ice time per game. This year, Muzzin already has two goals and three assists through seven games while averaging 18:26 of ice time. "I think its just probably a little bit more experience," Sutter said. "If you take last years playoff where he was in and out of the lineup or didnt play that much, this year weve had to rely on him a little bit more to get him ready for playoffs and thats sort of just a continuation of that." "Jake was only on for one goal against in the whole series [against San Jose], shows you how good he was playing," said Doughty. "We did well offensively too [combining for 12 points]. The good thing about me and Muzz is when a teams emphasis is so hard on the forecheck, our breakout ability is really good where one of us can do it on our own. We can talk to each other, help out and I think that is the strength of us. We dont spend a lot of time in our D-zone. And when we do, were both physical, big guys who can pin a guy to have a loose puck and we can get it that way. We did really well in our D-zone, and thats why we were successful as a pair." Joe Pavelski, Joe Thornton, Logan Couture, Patrick Marleau and Brent Burns were held to just one goal over the final four games of the series against the Kings thanks in large part to the work of Muzzin and Doughty. "We were a lot better in our zone," said Muzzin when asked about the reversal in fortune in the series. "Getting pucks in and out, not giving them chances to create cycle opportunities and chances like that. [Jonathan Quick] made some big saves when called upon. But as a whole team, we definitely limited their chances by being quick in our zone and I think we had better gaps on the rush and better awareness on our changes and on the rush as well." NOTES: Jeff Carter and Willie Mitchell (lower body) did not take part in Fridays practice at the teams facility in El Segundo. Sutter said it was an optional skate and Carter took the option after working out off the ice on Thursday. Carter did see his ice time dip in the final few games of the Sharks series, playing 13:07 in Game 6 and 14:06 in Game 7 ... Anze Kopitar on whether theres any difference between facing Frederik Andersen and Jonas Hiller: "No, I dont think its going to matter too much, except for the left catch (Andersen) and the right catch (Hiller). Thats the biggest difference." ... Forward lines at practice minus Carter: Gaborik-Kopitar-Brown; Pearson-Nolan-Toffoli; King-Stoll-Williams; Clifford-Richards-Nolan. Joseph Noteboom Jersey . The 49ers announced the deal Thursday. San Francisco selected Kilgore in the fifth round of the 2011 draft out of Appalachian State. He has played in 33 regular-season games, plus all six playoff games the last two seasons. Brandon Allen Rams Jersey .com) - The Chicago Cubs reportedly signed recently-acquired outfielder Dexter Fowler to a one-year contract on Friday, avoiding arbitration. http://www.ramsrookiestore.com/Rams-Ramik-Wilson-Jersey/ .Y. -- Defenceman Ryan Murphy had a goal and an assist and Drew MacIntyre made 24 saves to help the Carolina Hurricanes beat the New York Islanders 4-2 in an exhibition game Wednesday night.Each week, TSN.ca takes a look at the top storylines in the NFL and gives you all you need to know heading into Sundays action. All in! Cardinals get their divisional mettle tested in Seattle First off, let’s throw out the idea Arizona has cruised to their league-leading 9-1 record through an easy schedule. Amongst their nine victories are wins over five teams with winning records, three of which either lead or share the lead in their division. But they’ve yet to really get their hands dirty in their own division. Through the first 11 weeks of the season Arizona has only played San Francisco once and has yet to even see Seattle. That all changes this week; the Cardinals have three big divisional games in their last six weeks starting this Sunday against the Seahawks. Arizona is a good team, maybe even a very good team, but their divisional mettle has yet to have been tested. And with Drew Stanton behind centre the rest of the year, Sunday’s game against Seattle kicks off a stretch that will determine if the Cards can cope without Carson Palmer. Lions to crash back to earth in New England? Two division leaders face off Sunday at Gillette Stadium; one of which however, is a division leader in record only. No not the Falcons. The Detroit Lions have used as much good fortune as anything else to climb to the top of the NFC North. But if luck were to run out on the Lions, this will likely be the game. Joking aside, this could be a real offensive battle. With Reggie Bush expected back and Calvin Johnson still moderately healthy, Detroit could score some points. Matching up against Tom Brady, who has been fantastic since the media dared question if he was running out of gas, Rob Gronkowski, once again the league’s best tight end, and Jonas Grey, who might be a thing now, it’d be wise to take the over (weather permitting of course). Josh Gordon makes his highly anticipated return It’s a good time to be Brian Hoyer. Through 11 weeks of the season he has held off fan favourite Johnny Manziel to lead the Browns to a surprising 6-4 record; even if Cleveland brass perhaps foolishly does turn to Manziel at the end of the year, there are reports of several teams interested in his services; and now he gets his top receiiver back. Marcus Peters Jersey. Josh Gordon wasn’t just good last season, he was the best. It’s great news for the Browns, whose top receiver heading into Week 12 is former Montreal Alouette Andrew Hawkins; and good news for football fans in general, who get to welcome back a superstar to their Sundays. Gordon led the league with 1,646 receiving yards last season – 303 of which came in the three games Hoyer started before getting injured. Gordon has reportedly been keeping in shape during his 10-game suspension; here’s hoping the Browns don’t handle him with kid gloves, easing him back into the lineup, and just let the superstar fly. To make matters more interesting, both the Falcons and Browns are clinging to playoff hopes, and a loss - more so for Cleveland than Atlanta - could end their postseason dreams. Packers-Vikings Round 2 Rivarly games, especially ones this heated, are always worth keeping an eye on and will have their spot in this column. But this one could be rough. The Packers beat the Vikings by 32 points in their first meeting and are arguably playing at a higher level coming into Round 2. Aaron Rodgers is closing the gap in the MVP race in a big way the past few weeks; he has more than 1,000 passing yards and 10 touchdowns in his last three games. Much like a Heisman hopeful uses out of conference games to pad his stats, so too could Rodgers against the Vikings. Chasing the Patriots, both Dolphins and Broncos eager for win The Dolphins and Broncos don’t have much in common this year but they are both chasing the New England Patriots. Miami’s race is of course for the AFC East, with the Dolphins currently a full two games behind. They do however, currently hold the season series with one game to go. Denver’s race is for the AFC in general, or more specifically the always coveted home field advantage throughout the playoffs. While Denver is just one game behind the Pats in their race, New England holds the tiebreaker making their situation nearly as desperate as Miami’s. Both teams have other reasons to want to win of course. The Dolphins are in the thick of the wildcard race while the Broncos will want to keep pace with the Kansas City Chiefs after they beat the Raiders on Thursday.
