Jonas Jerebko Jersey . Nick Bonino and Matt Beleskey also scored in regulation and Frederik Andersen stopped 27 shots for the Ducks, who will face Dallas in the opening round of the post-season. Anze Kopitar had two goals, including the tying one with 3:12 left in the third period, and Dustin Brown also scored for Los Angeles. The Kings fell short of getting their franchise-record 47th win in their regular-season finale. Both local rivals scored in the final 5 minutes of regulation, and Smith-Pelly then beat Jonathan Quick in the fourth round of the shootout. Beleskeys snap shot with 4:47 left put Anaheim ahead 3-2. The Ducks needed only a point to clinch the top playoff seed, so the shootout win was an added bonus. Smith-Pelly put Anaheim ahead 2-1 at 2:33 of the second period when Hampus Lindholms shot hit his skate in front of the crease and trickled in. Smith-Pelly, who has spent most of the season in the minors, last scored at Boston on Oct. 31. The King tied it 48 seconds into the final period when when Kopitar wrapped a shot past Andersen from behind the net. Andersen stopped all four shots in the shootout in another strong performance that leaves coach Bruce Boudreau with plenty of options and a tough decision to make in goal once the playoffs start. With primary goaltender Jonas Hiller struggling of late, Andersen and fellow rookie John Gibson have shined late. The Kings, already locked into a matchup with San Jose in the first round, closed the regular season with their fourth straight loss to their rivals. The rivalry featured some oddities early: cheers for the opposition and a Kings penalty. Los Angeles presented Anaheim winger Teemu Selanne with a paddle board before the game as he received a standing ovation from Kings fans. The retiring 43-year-old was in a suit as he had a scheduled night off before hes honoured by his home fans in the regular-season finale Sunday against Colorado. Brown put the Kings ahead less than 5 minutes in. Willie Mitchell retrieved an Anaheim turnover in the neutral zone and found Brown free at the blue line. He skated in alone and beat Andersen. Bonino tied it less than two minutes later with an acrobatic goal. From his knees, falling away from the goal at a difficult angle, Bonino sent a backhander past Quick near the far post. Brown was called for holding at 13:38, the first penalty against the Kings in three games and just over 140 minutes. Both teams were 0 for 4 on the power play, while Quick made 21 saves. NOTES: Bostons victory over Buffalo earlier in the day ended the Ducks chances of winning the Presidents Trophy for the NHLs top record. ... Anaheim (114 points) needed only to assure a tie with Colorado (111 points) and St. Louis (111) because it holds the tiebreaker against both teams. ... Kings D Drew Doughty (shoulder) missed his fourth straight game. Rudy Gobert Jersey . An offseason trade acquisition from Kansas City, Greinkes National League debut was delayed by a non-baseball injury in the spring, and he was 0-1 after dropping an 8-0 decision at Atlanta in his initial appearance with the Brewers on May 4. John Stockton Jersey . Top-ranked Rafael Nadal was also taken to three sets but emerged with a 6-3, 6-7 (3), 6-3 win over Tobias Kamke of Germany, while second-seeded David Ferrer joined Murray in making an early exit after a 6-4, 7-5 loss to Daniel Brands of Germany. http://www.officialjazzauthenticstore.com/kids-alec-burks-jazz-jersey/ . John Albert Elway, 24, was booked into jail early Saturday morning after an incident near a college campus in downtown Denver, according to jail records.TORONTO -- The owners of Toronto FC say they are looking at whether BMO Field can be refitted to accommodate the CFL game. Tim Leiweke, president and CEO of Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment, said the project was currently at "the information-only stage" and was part of a larger plan to see how the lakefront stadium can be improved. Leiweke said high school football championships have been played at the StubHub centre, home to the Los Angeles Galaxy. Football is also played at the home of the Houston Dynamo. And BMO Field has played host to the Canadian rugby team "which is just as tough on a pitch as football if not more so," Leiweke said on a conference call Thursday. "And we find a way to make it work." "To me its not a debate of whether you do football or not," he added. "Its a debate about if its the CFL, can you design the stadium so that it grows for the CFL and shrinks back down to its current intimacy for soccer?" The Toronto Argonauts currently play at Rogers Centre, with many fans wishing for a more intimate setting. There has been speculation in the local media recently that MLSE is interested in purchasing the CFL team from current owner David Braley. The Argos and Rogers Centre agreed on a new lease agreement prior to the 2013 season. Leiweke says no deccision has been made on changing the BMO Field set-up but there is talk underway to see what could be accomplished. Tony Bradley Jersey. "Were going to continue to look at it but the commitment were going to make is we will not ruin the intimacy of the viewing and the current set-up for MLS. And we will do it in a way where were not going to turn the field into dirt," he said. "And whether or not we can do that, it means weve got to spend more money. To the credit of ownership, what theyve told us is Go look at it. They havent approved it, because we dont know what it is yet. And so were still working on it." Leiweke said MLSE wont even look at it unless it includes upgrades to the current MLS viewing experience. "And that means, yeah, were looking at a roof." MLSE is sending people to see other MLS stadiums, to see new designs and technology. "This league is changing quickly," Leiweke said. "BMO worked when we first began eight, nine years ago when we started building it. But today were going to have to change. And that means everything is in and under consideration. Nothing has been decided." Originally the brainchild of the Canadian Soccer Association, the $62.5-million stadium was built as a way to bring the FIFA under-20 World Cup and an MLS team to Toronto.
