Kings finally break through with a power-play goal by Rob Blake, his 7th goal of the season and the 700th point of his NHL career. It comes on a rebound of a shot by Michael Cammarelli. Kings added a late flurry of shots in the second but the period ends (well, not really) with the score 3-1.

We're in the second intermission, but the period's not over. A pane of glass shattered with 49 seconds left in the second period, so the referees decided to take the break now. They'll finish the second period when the teams come out after this break.

BTW, one of the highlights of the second period was a marriage proposal on the big screen. She said yes.
