The company that owns the Staples Center and the Los Angeles Kings announced late Tuesday it is being put up for sale, sparking a potential billion-dollar bidding war for some of the sports and entertainment world's most glitzy properties.

The Los Angeles Kings' 45-year Stanley Cup quest ended in a triumphant flourish of blood, sweat and power-play goals. After missing two chances to claim the title last week, the long-suffering Kings are NHL champions for the first time. Hooray for Hockeywood.

Hoping to reign atop the hockey world for the first time, the Los Angeles Kings aim to finish off the New Jersey Devils on Saturday night and capture the Stanley Cup.

Jonathan Quick made 22 saves in his third shutout of the postseason, Anze Kopitar had a goal and an assist, and the Los Angeles Kings rolled to the brink of the franchise's first NHL title, beating the New Jersey Devils 4-0 in Game 3 of the Stanley Cup finals on Monday to take a 3-0 series lead.

Drew Doughty scores in transition after New Jersey put heavy pressure on L.A. goaltender Jonathan Quick early in Game 2. The New Jersey Devils talked for two days about putting more pressure on Kings goaltender Jonathan Quick.

Mark Fayne knew the puck was heading his way and he knew Los Angeles goalie Jonathan Quick was out of position....

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.

Dwight King scored the tiebreaking goal early in the third period, Jonathan Quick made 18 saves, and Los Angeles rolled to the brink of their first Stanley Cup finals in 19 years with a 2-1 victory over Phoenix on Thursday.

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.
