The Los Angeles Kings will try to eliminate the defending Stanley Cup champions and advance to the Stanley Cup Finals on Wednesday when they visit the Chicago Blackhawks for Game 5 at United Center. Mariners Edgar Martinez Jersey . The Kings have won three straight in the series to take a commanding 3-1 lead in the best-of-seven set. Another victory on Wednesday would get Los Angeles back in the Cup Finals for the second time in three years after claiming the franchises first title in 2012 by beating the New Jersey Devils. A win also would avenge the Kings loss to Chicago in last seasons West finals, which the Blackhawks won in five games. Chicago entered this postseason with a chance to become the first NHL team to win back-to-back Cups since Detroit pulled off the repeat in 1997 and 98, but that dream is looking bleak at the moment. The Blackhawks, who also won a Cup in 2010, need to win three straight to take the West Finals and advance to the Stanley Cup Finals for the third time in five years. The Blackhawks have come back from down 3-1 to win a series only once in their history, but it was last spring against Detroit, which won three of the first four games against Chicago in the Western Conference semifinals before losing the final three tilts. The Blackhawks also needed to win Game 7 in overtime to down the Red Wings. "That was a special feeling last year when we came back from 3-1 and were able to win it in seven games in overtime," said Blackhawks forward Patrick Kane. "Who knows? Thats probably what its going to take to try and get back there." If Chicago does stave off elimination on Wednesday, the clubs will meet Friday in Los Angeles for Game 6. Kane ended a three-game stretch without a point with an assist in Game 4 at Los Angeles, but it wasnt nearly enough as the Kings claimed a 5-2 decision to keep Chicago from tying the series. L.A. scored three times in the opening period and extended the cushion to 4-0 in the second stanza. Jake Muzzin, Marian Gaborik, and Dustin Brown scored in just under a seven-minute span in the opening frame and Drew Doughty added a goal in the second. Jonathan Quick stopped 22 shots for the Kings. "We are trying to win one game, whether we are up 3-1, down 3-1, 2-2, no matter what the series is, that doesnt change what we are trying to do the next game," said Quick. Anze Kopitar had two assists in the win, and leads all postseason skaters with 22 points on five goals and 17 assists. Brandon Saad and Bryan Bickell scored for the Blackhawks, who saw Corey Crawford give up four goals on just 20 shots in the loss. Chicago has lost three straight since winning Game 1 on home ice by a 3-1 score. The Blackhawks held a 2-0 lead late in the second period of Game 2 before allowing L.A. to score six unanswered goals. "Its all about our game and our preparation, theres things we need to do better," said Chicago captain Jonathan Toews. "We make mistakes and things wind up getting compounded quickly. We just need to forget about this and find a way to play like we did in Game 1." The Blackhawks were 7-0 on home ice in this postseason before dropping Game 2 to the Kings. Chicago is 18-3 at the United Center since the start of the 2013 playoffs. L.A. is 6-4 as the road team in the 2014 playoffs. This series marks the first time two teams are meeting in the Western finals in back-to-back years since the Stars/Avalanche in 1999-2000. Mariners Matt Festa Jersey . Ibrahimovic put PSG ahead when he got in front of his marker to neatly flick in Lucass cross in the 59th minute. New signing Yohan Cabaye came on as a second-half substitute and headed Ezequiel Lavezzis cross against the post in the 87th. Moments later, Lucas set up another goal from the right when fellow countryman Alex turned in his corner with a strikers finish. Mariners Nick Vincent Jersey . They have homered once every 27.3 at bats, which just happens to be the third best mark in the American League, albeit just 10 games into the season.MOSCOW - Manchester City was left struggling in the Champions League on Tuesday after squandering a two-goal lead and conceding a late penalty to draw 2-2 at CSKA Moscow in an empty stadium.Goals from Sergio Aguero and James Milner gave City a comfortable two-goal lead by halftime at Arena Khimki, where CSKA was made to play behind closed doors as punishment for racist behaviour by its fans.CSKA substitute Seydou Doumbia pulled one back in the 65th minute off a cross from Ahmed Musa and Bibras Natcho levelled in the 86th from the penalty spot after Doumbia was fouled by Aleksandar Kolarov.Having had the match under control, the result leaves City third in Group E with two points from three games. City is four points off leader Bayern Munich and two behind second-placed AS Roma, who play each other later Tuesday.Of course Im very disappointed, City coach Manuel Pellegrini said. It seemed so easy after the first half.He added that City now needed to show the free-scoring form that has taken it to second place in the English Premier League in its final three group matches.I said today we must win the last four games. I think really we were very near to winning this game, but things like this happen in football, he said.Now there are nine points more to play for, so I hope we will see the team that you saw in the first half and the team that you see in the Premier League.On a freezing night, City went ahead in the 29th minute when David Silva played Edin Dzeko through with a fine chipped pass and the Bosnian laid the ball off for Aguero to score.The Argentine then turned provider for Citys second goal nine minutes lateer, picking up a Pablo Zabaleta header and sending the ball toward the far post, where Milner tapped it in. Mariners Alex Colome Jersey. SKA ventured forward more after the break, substituting a defender for Doumbia. The home team was rewarded when the Ivory Coast striker steered home a cross by Musa.Doumbia was also involved in the equalizer, when the referee ruled he was tripped by Kolarov. CSKAs Israeli midfielder Natcho stepped up to take the spot-kick in the 86th minute, putting the ball just beyond the reach of Joe Hart.Late on, CSKA came close to a winner when Musa worked his way into a good position, but his shot went wide of the post.City has failed to advance from the Champions League group stage in two of the last three seasons.CSKA is fourth in Group E with one point after ending a run of six defeats in Champions League games stretching back to last season.CSKA coach Leonid Slutsky said he was very pleased with the result after coming into the game with a difficult team situation due to injuries.Almost a year to the day after CSKA fans abused Citys Yaya Toure with monkey chants, the match was played without fans as part of CSKAs punishment for racist behaviour and violence by fans in last months 5-1 defeat to Roma.That was CSKAs third case of racism in less than a year and prompted a UEFA punishment of three home games in an empty stadium and two away games without CSKA fans.However, around 200 CSKA fans were in the stadium, apparently having obtained tickets intended for sponsors. Many more CSKA fans gathered outside the stadium to support their team and their chants were audible from inside the ground.
