The first goal: Carter actually got the puck along the boards and not off Geno, while he didn't disrupt Carter at all trying for the puck or lifting his stick. All Pettersson had left was taking a penalty.
The second goal: is in off a bounce off the guy in front. Kessel made a great play defecting away a great cross feed had it got through, and just give LA. a nod for making that into something. The shot wasn't even on net and bounced off of Iafallo high.
The third goal: Kopitar SHG is the dagger, and Letang had a mishap. Letang's spinorama backhand at the blueline picked off by Carter, and he got it to Kopitar. It was all good, De Smith made a great save on Kopitar and the puck followed him. I can't blame Kessel there, he followed the play which was the puck to Kopitar in front, and Letang took himself out of the play sliding to no avail.
Looking at that to that point, LA. earned this win looking closer.
Mike Sullivan had it right in the post game stating that goal was the difference. Letang, no more spinorammas please with guys that close without lifting it.
He served it up on a platter dressed with cheese to go with the whine after.
