shots behind Kim in a tie for 10th,
The Pittsburgh Penguins and Los Angeles Kings combined for 32 shots on goal, yet both won Monday night. Fernando Valenzuela Womens Jersey . Notes on Crosby, Fleury, Diaz, Gaborik, Schultz and more. FLEURY SHUTS OUT RANGERS, AGAIN Sidney Crosbys first goal of the postseason was the game-winner and Marc-Andre Fleury stopped all 35 New York Rangers shots he faced, giving the Pittsburgh Penguins a 2-0 win in Game Three and a 2-1 lead in the series. Crosby played 16:54, a threshold that he surpassed in 86 of 88 previous games this season and only had one shot on goal, but it found the back of the net, going five-hole on Henrik Lundqvist after being sent in on a partial breakaway by a Robert Bortuzzo pass. Crosbys goal gives him seven points (1 G, 6 A) in nine playoff games, which is below his standard, but getting off the goose-egg ought to alleviate some pressure. The Penguins other goal was a gift for Jussi Jokinen, who picked up an errant Rangers pass for a breakaway as he stepped out of the penalty box. Jokinen now has seven points (4 G, 3 A) in the playoffs and, with four shots on goal, was the only Penguin with more than two shots on goal in the game. Back-to-back shutouts sure changes the view on the playoff performance of Fleury, who had allowed at least three goals in six of his first seven games in the playoffs, but hes stopped all 57 shots that the Rangers have sent his way in the last two nights. His save percentage is up to .919 for this postseason. While the Rangers held a possession advantage by games end, they gained that advantage on their punchless power play (now 0-for-30 in the past eight games) and once the Penguins had built their 2-0 lead. Before that point, the Penguins had 24 5-on-5 shot attempts for and 23 against (51.1%). After that, the Rangers held a 24-9 (72.7%) edge, but those are empty possession calories, a nature of the way the game is played by teams holding a multi-goal lead. The player sending the most shots toward the Pittsburgh net for the Rangers was D Raphael Diaz, who had six shots on goal and nine shot attempts in his first game of the postseason. Next was RW Rick Nash, who had eight shot attempts, but is still looking for his first playoff goal this year. Nash has two goals in 25 career playoff games. The schedule has been ridiculous for the Rangers, who have played five games in seven days, but they had better hope that getting back on a more normal schedule will be enough for them to solve a suddenly-hot Marc-Andre Fleury. KINGS HOLD ON TO BEAT DUCKS Jonathan Quick stopped 36 of 37 shots while Marian Gaborik and Alec Martinez scored first-period goals, then the Los Angeles Kings held on (adding an empty-netter by Dwight King) to beat the Anaheim Ducks 3-1, taking a 2-0 series lead. Gaborik scored his playoff-leading sixth goal just 34 seconds into the game, after scoring the last two goals of Game One, and the Kings were off and running. Martinez, who finished the year strong (7 G, 8 A in 22 GP after the Olympics) now has two goals and five points in nine playoff games. Perhaps the most remarkable part of the night for Los Angeles was that D Jeff Schultz, playing with Robyn Regehr and Willie Mitchell injured, logged 19:58 of ice time, ranking fourth on the Kings blueline behind Drew Doughty, Jake Muzzin and Slava Voynov. That might not seem like such a big deal -- someone had to play those minutes -- but Schultz didnt play a game in the NHL this season. He had 13 points (2 G, 11 A) and was plus-10 in 67 AHL games. Schultz was minus-10 in Corsi for Game Two but that ice time played into that deficit. Anaheims goal came on the power play from LW Patrick Maroon, their third-leading playoff scorer (2 G, 4 A, 8 GP), behind Ryan Getzlaf and Corey Perry. The Ducks were dominating the possession game, but couldnt solve Quick and now head to Staples Center down two games in the series. With the ice tilted so heavily in Anaheims favour, the defence pairing of Ben Lovejoy and Cam Fowler was on for better than 80% of the 5-on-5 shot attempts. Anaheim was seven seconds away from winning Game One and carried the play in Game Two, yet still lost, so while they are facing a daunting task to come back, they have been able to handle the puck possession game against a Kings team that was the leagues best in that respect during the regular season. It may not do them much good, but its more encouraging than getting beaten from pillar-to-post in the first couple games.

Kim hit four bogeys on the front nine before recovering for a 1-over 72. That she regained the lead was a legacy of her remarkable 61 on Thursday, the lowest score in major history, and her rivals also dropping on the leaderboard. Karrie Webb mixed four birdies with three bogeys in a 1-under 70, leaving the 39-year-old one shot behind Kim and with a great chance of an eighth career major. "Really just hung in there. The conditions were challenging today with the breeze," Webb said. "I did a really good job and finished the last four in 2 under. That really made my round." Mi-Jung Hur of South Korea was two behind Kim at 6 under overall. Overnight leader Brittany Lincicome of the U.S. dropped four shots off the lead after a 6-over 77, which featured two double bogeys and a triple bogey within the first seven holes. "Hopefully tomorrow I can shoot a couple under par and see if I can get it back around," said Lincicome, the 2009 Kraft Nabisco champion. Kim was aged 11 when Webb won her last major: The Kraft Nabisco in 2006, the year she won Evian before it was a major. "Just happy to be in this position. Its been a while," Webb said. "Havent gotten too down on myself when things havent been going well, which has helped me." Kim is in the first year of a physical education course at Seoul University. Ranked 20th in the world, she leads the Korean LPGA money list with three wins. Anna Nordqvist of Sweden, the 2009 LPGA Championnship winner, is three behind Kim in a tie for fourth with Mariajo Uribe of Colombia. Kenta Maeda Jersey. Nordqvist double-bogeyed the perilous 17th. As the ball flew over the green on her second shot she muttered, "Youre kidding me." Hur has even more reason to rue a triple bogey on the 16th -- her only, but costly, mistake. Hur made the Evian field by tying for ninth at the Portland Classic two weeks ago and earning $23,262 to move up to 93rd on the money list. She has one U.S. LPGA Tour title, five years ago, and has not finished higher than 25th in a major. Suzann Pettersen, the defending champion, started the day level with Webb, and four behind Lincicome. But the Norwegians chances of a third major took a dive. She was exasperated after a double bogey on the 17th and finished with 74 to drift five shots behind Kim in a tie for 10th, alongside top-ranked Stacy Lewis of the U.S., and five-time major winner Inbee Park of South Korea. Lewis day ended with two bogeys, while Park fought hard for a commendable 2-under 69. If it was frustrating for Lewis, it was torturous for Lincicome, chasing her first title since 2011. She opened with two bogeys and triple bogeyed on the seventh. Her ball landed in the bunker, her escape shot rolled back in; and she got out on her second attempt as the ball nearly crept back down. "There is so much silly sand in these bunkers," she said. The 17th caused problems all day, and Lincicome over-hit from the fairway and the ball rolled downhill into the rough. Uribe found herself in trouble on 18 as her approach landed in the water. Taking her shoes and socks off, she splashed the ball out of the pond for a bogey finish.
