LOS ANGELES -- Jeff Carter is powering the Kings while they wait for the return of Anze Kopitar.Carter scored his team-high seventh goal, helping Los Angeles beat the New Jersey Devils 4-2 on Saturday.Peter Budaj had 21 saves, and Los Angeles also got goals from Tanner Pearson, Alec Martinez and Jake Muzzin.Kopitar has missed four games with an upper-body injury, but the Kings are 2-1-1 in that span thanks largely to Carter. He has goals in consecutive games and five in his past eight, and he leads the team with 14 points.Hes carried the team on his back, Kings coach Darryl Sutter said. Hes shown a lot of leadership and been really, really good for us.John Moore and Nick Lappin scored for New Jersey, which has lost two straight since ending a five-game winning streak. Cory Schneider made 24 saves and has allowed six goals on 50 shots over his past two starts.We werent ready, at certain times in the game, to have the right type of intensity we needed to be able to control the territory like we wanted to, Devils coach John Hynes said.With 2:32 left, Lappin scored during a goalmouth scramble to cut the lead to 3-2, but Muzzin got an empty-net goal with 28 seconds left.We pressed and got it within one and had a chance to tie it, Schneider said. I think we know that wasnt a full 60-minute effort from us. But you have to give some credit to the Kings. I thought we responded the way we were supposed to, but against that team, its hard to get down and come back.Just 45 seconds into the third, Carter scored on a 2-on-1 rush by grabbing his own rebound and pushing it under the goalie for a 3-1 edge.Pearson gave the Kings a 2-1 lead with 1:40 left in the second period. The Devils turned over the puck trying to clear the zone, and Pearson caught it and teed off from the left circle, sending it off Schneider and into the net.Nic Dowd set up Martinezs goal 4:58 into the second period. Dowd faked a shot, spun around and found Martinez in the high slot. Martinez beat Schneider with a hard shot through traffic to make it 1-1.Moore scored in a similar manner 3:38 into the first, launching a long shot past a screened Budaj.One thing weve got to be good at is coming out stronger in that first period, Pearson said. We let another first one in, but we battled back and were able to get the win at home.Game notes The Kings honored former goaltender Rogie Vachon before the game for his recent induction into the Hockey Hall of Fame. ...

ARCADIA, Calif. -- Stellar Wind had Beholders number in summer. Stellar Wind also has Beholders number in fall.In a virtual replay of a Grade 1 two months ago at Del Mar, Stellar Wind wore down Beholder in the Grade 1 Zenyatta Stakes on Saturday at Santa Anita, winning by a neck and establishing herself as Californias top older female headed to the Breeders Cup Distaff.That mare has my number, Beholders trainer Richard Mandella said. I have to switch numbers. Beholder ran her heart out.Beholder broke running from the inside post, and was pressured by Taras Tango and Stellar Wind. Gary Stevens, riding Beholder, had no option but go on with it.I would have liked to switch positions, Stevens said. I would have liked to have switched positions at Del Mar. Its just tough getting beat on her.Stellar Wind, trained by John Sadler, pressed her way to victory over Beholder in the Grade 1 Clement L. Hirsch in July at Del Mar, a race some chalked up as an aberration. Turns out, it was anything but.On Saturday at Santa Anita, Stellar Wind was three-wide forwardly placed, pressing the pace outside Taras Tango. When that rival gave way into the far turn, Stellar Wind engaged Beholder. It appeared jockey Victor Espinoza waas working hard to keep Stellar Wind close to Beholder.dddddddddddde has to do that, Sadler said. You cant let Beholder cruise along.Stellar Wind took the fight to Beholder, and the two fillies locked up at the quarter pole. They raced head and head to deep stretch before Stellar Wind inched clear to win by a neck. She paid $6 as the second choice. It was 11-3/4 lengths back to third-place finisher Vale Dori.Taras Tango and Off the Road finished fourth and fifth.I hope now we get some respect, assistant trainer Larry Benavediz said. Theyll get more than that if theyre able to score another upset Nov. 4 in the Breeders Cup Distaff. The Distaff will be the fourth meeting between Stellar Wind and Beholder (Stellar Wind has a 2-1 edge). Songbird, the undefeated 3-year-old filly, will be waiting in the wings.Mandella said immediately after the Zenyatta that Beholder would start in the Distaff.Taras Tangos trainer Jerry Hollendorfer said it would be my guess that Taras Tango would shorten up and run next in the BC Filly and Mare Sprint.The final time of the Zenyatta was fast, 1:41.80.
