THE improbable dream continued for the Los Angeles Kings as the eighth seeds swept second-seeded St. Louis to advance to the Western Conference finals with their second surprising series triumph on Sunday.
The Kings went 3-1-2 against the Coyotes during the regular season, shutting Phoenix out twice. They won three of four games against the Predators.
In the Eastern Conference, it was a double celebration for Martin Brodeur as the New Jersey netminder marked his 40th birthday with a 4-2 win over Philadelphia that gave the Devils a 3-1 lead in their best-of-seven series.
Playoff standout Dustin Brown sparked the Kings' 3-1 triumph with a game-clinching goal late in the first period and an empty netter with 26 seconds remaining in the contest.
"We found a way to bend but not break, and that is something that this team has not relied on," Brown told reporters. "But we found a way."
Netminder Jonathan Quick made 23 saves.
Los Angeles, in the conference finals for the first time in 19 years, will meet Phoenix or Nashville for the West title.
