  • Kings lead series 2-0

    By Greg Beacham
    AP Sports Writer

    LOS ANGELES — If the Los Angeles Kings ever looked down from the tightrope they’re walking in the NHL playoffs, they would surely fall.

    Three straight games with multigoal deficits, including a 4-2 hole late in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup finals. Three straight overtime contests, the result hanging on every shift.

    Willie Mitchell realizes the comeback Kings are on a perilous path, but they haven’t fallen off yet. He also knows they’re two wins away from raising the Cup again.

  • Rainout in White Sands game

    The Las Vegas Train Robbers struck first Saturday night at Rodriguez Park.

    Then the White Sands Pupfish struck back.

    And then Mother Nature chased them both away, putting them both in a “timeout” like petulant children.

    A thunderstorm and downpour early in the third inning led to cancellation of the game — and the rest of the scheduled four-game series was in doubt as of press time.

    It’s the fourth time this season a Robbers game has been rained out, which is a league high.

    Las Vegas never trailed, although Trinidad tied it 1-1 after one complete inning.
