Los Angeles, which has advanced to the finals for the second time in franchise history, is undefeated on the road so far in the playoffs.

Jeff Carter scored three goals, Jonathan Quick stopped 24 shots and the Los Angeles Kings matched an NHL record with their seventh straight road playoff victory, beating the Phoenix Coyotes 4-0 Tuesday night to take control of Western Conference finals.

Los Angeles gave up goal from the center line, another tying goal on a miscommunication. The way the Kings dominated the rest of the game, not to mention how they've played on the road in the playoffs, those two slipups certainly weren't going to derail their bid to take home-ice advantage from the Phoenix Coyotes.

The NHL on Saturday suspended Phoenix Coyotes forward Raffi Torres for 25 games for launching himself into an opponent during a playoff game earlier this week.

Colorado Avalanche defenseman Jordan Leopold has been traded to the Calgary Flames, who also acquired center Olli Jokinen from the Phoenix Coyotes.
