Update
There was a scuffle behind the Kings net after Sharks winger Steve Bernier elbowed Kings defenseman Peter Harrold hard into the boards. Brian Boyle and Brian Willsie came to Harrold's defense. Harrold was down for a couple minutes before leaving the ice.
Steve Bernier got five minutes for roughing and a game misconduct. The Kings took advantage when Willsie scored a one-timer off the right post off a pass from Kyle Calder on the power play to tie the game at 2-2.
Wayne Simmonds is in the game.

Does anyone know if this is on radio?
I am streaming the game over the internet on http://2005.progressivetalk1150.com/pages/streaming.html so I assume the 1150AM will have it.
Bernier appeared to get his elbow up intentionally and drove Harrold's head into the right corner glass. He got an elbowing major/game misconduct.

Oops. Sorry for the duplicate post...I wish they'd fix the wireless network here at Staples Center!
