In a night with four one-goal games, Toronto held on to force Game Six at home, Washington and Detroit won in OT and the Kings eliminated the Blues. Scott Cullen has notes and stats from Fridays NHL action. LEAFS STAY ALIVE IN BOSTONToronto G James Reimer stopped 43 of 44 shots to backstop the Maple Leafs to a 2-1 win over Boston, extending the series to a sixth game, which will be in Toronto Sunday. The game-winning goal was scored by Clarke MacArthur, who led the Leafs in CorsiRelative during the regular season, which makes it unusual to find him battling just to earn a spot in the lineup. Then again Jake Gardiner, who spent plenty of time in the press box too, led Torontos defence corps in that advanced stat too. Gardiner led all Toronto skaters with 24:05 time on ice in Game Five. James van Riemsdyk led the Leafs with six shots on goal, Ryan OByrne led with five blocked shots while Matt Frattin and Dion Phaneuf both recorded seven hits. Not all statistics were favourable for the Leafs in their road win. C Tyler Bozak was 7-for-24 (29.2%) on faceoffs, leaving him at 42.6% for the playoffs, while taking a league-high 148 face-offs. Bostons attack was led by Zdeno Chara, He scored Bostons goal and had eight shots on goal, a playoff career-high in his 112th career playoff game. Two snakebitten Bruins had a bunch of shots, but it didnt result in a goal. Jaromir Jagr and Tyler Seguin had seven and six shots on goal, respectively. The pair of right wingers have yet to score in the series despite 44 shots on goal between them. The line of Jagr, Rich Peverley and Chris Kelly was Bostons best in terms of puck possession for Game Five. Toronto returns home, having shown that they can hold their own with the Bruins through the first five games. Can they do it twice more? CAPITALS EDGEMike Ribeiros overtime goal in Game Five gave the Washington Capitals a 3-2 series lead over the New York Rangers. In addition to scoring the winner, Ribeiro was 19-for-27 (70.4%) in the faceoff circle. Ribeiro was also a puck possession star in Game Five. Capitals RW Alex Ovechkin failed to score a point for the third straight game, for the first time in his career. He didnt score a goal despite recording nine shots on goal. Capitals LW Matt Hendricks led the team with seven blocked shots, in 9:12 of ice time, while LW Jason Chimera had seven hits, including one that knocked Rangers LW Ryane Clowe out of the game in the first period. Clowe played just 1:55 before leaving. 2012 first-round pick Tom Wilson played in his first NHL game for the Capitals, recording four hits in 6:24 of ice time, though he was stapled to the bench for the last 10 minutes of the third period and overtime. Welcome to the league and all, but it takes time to earn the coachs trust. Rangers captain Ryan Callahan was held without a shot on goal, while playing 26:28, and Rick Nash had two shots on goal, playing 20:05. Lack of production from Nash and Brad Richards is an issue for the Rangers, and they ranked seventh and eighth in ice time among Rangers forwards in Game Five. Washingtons first goal was scored, on the power play, by Joel Ward, who now has four points in the last three games. The last four games of this series have been decided by one goal, with two games going to overtime, so fair to expect another close contest when these teams meet in New York Saturday afternoon for Game Six. GOING BACK TO CALIHenrik Zetterberg scored a pair of goals, his first two of the series and the second coming in overtime, to lead the Detroit Red Wings to a 4-3 win in Game Six, forcing a Game Seven back in Anaheim. In a do-or-die game, the Red Wings brightest stars, Zetterberg and Pavel Datsyuk, combined for six points. The duo has combined for 13 points through the first six games of the series. Returning from his two-game suspension, RW Justin Abdelkader returned to his spot on the wing with Datsyuk and Zetterberg, contributed an assist and was plus-2 in more than 19 minutes of ice time. He also led the Wings with six hits. Carlo Colaiacovo, replacing rookie Brian Lashoff and playing his first game since April 14, led the Wings with four blocked shots. Ducks rookie RW Emerson Etem was a very effective using his speed and finished with a goal and an assist with a plus-2 rating. Etem assisted on Anaheims first goal, by LW Kyle Palmieri, who is tied for Ryan Getzlaf with a team-high five points through the first six games of the series. If anyone is going to get their first goal of the series for Anaheim, it would figure to be RW Corey Perry or LW Daniel Winnik, as they have combined for 42 shots on goal and no goals in the series. The last three games of this series have gone to OT, with the home side winning in extra time. No surprise, then, that this toss-up of a series is going seven. KINGS GRIND DOWN BLUESFor the third time in six games, the final score was 2-1 between the Los Angeles Kings and St. Louis Blues. With the Kings emerging victorious Friday, they eliminated St. Louis in six games after falling down two games to none to open the series. Ive mentioned several times that every inch of the ice was contested in this series and the game-of-inches can also be applied to game of seconds. Three times in the series a team scored a tying or winning goal in the final minute of regulation and the series winner, scored by Kings LW Dustin Penner, was scored in the final second of the second period. Shot totals were modest in Game Six, as well as the series overall. Blues G Brian Elliott stopped 14 of 16 shots, leaving him with a .919 save percentage over the course of the series, facing an average of 24.8 shots per game. Kings G Jonathan Quick, who had the worst save percentage of any starting goaltender that qualified for the playoffs this year, was outstanding in the series, posting a .944 save percentage. Blues C David Backes and LW David Perrron each had four shots on goal in Game Six, to lead the Blues. RW T.J. Oshie was held without a shot on goal in nearly 19 minutes of ice time. Oshie struggled throughout the series, finishing with six shots on goal and a team-worst minus-4 rating. With their season on the line, the Blues leaned heavily on D Jay Bouwmeester, who played 26:25 and was a force when it came to puck possession. D Alex Pietrangelo (21:08 TOI) was the only other Blue to play more than 20 minutes in Game Six. Kings C Anze Kopitar had his challenges, facing Backes, as Kopitar managed a total of nine shots on goal in six games, while playing 21:02 per game to lead Los Angeles forwards. Kopitar led the Kings with six hits in Game Six. St. Louis had a slightly more difficult time generating offence. Backes, Alexander Steen and Vladimir Sobotka tied for the team lead with three points. RW Chris Stewart, LW David Perron and LW Andy McDonald combined for zero goals on 39 shots in the series. The Blues are going to be understandably disappointed. No matter which team lost this series, one was going to be leaving the postseason too soon. Given the questions about goaltending for both teams entering the series, full credit to Los Angeles and Jonathan Quick for rising to the occasion to win a hard-fought series between two very good teams.

LOS ANGELES -- Derrick Rose is at a crossroads in his basketball career and one of the biggest moments in what could be a make-or-break year for the former NBA MVP didnt happen on the court.It happened in a court.Rose was vindicated Wednesday in a $21.5 million lawsuit that accused him and two friends of raping an ex-girlfriend when she was incapacitated from drugs or alcohol.The reticent Rose, who remained stoic most of the trial including during his testimony about intimate sex acts, smiled outside court, thanked jurors and put his arm around some who posed for photos with the hoops star.I am thankful that the jury understood and agreed with me, Rose said in a statement. I am ready to put this behind me and focus on my family and career.Jurors in Los Angeles federal court had sat through graphic testimony with somber expressions, but it took them less than four hours to conclude there was a lack of evidence to support the womans claims and dismiss her account as unbelievable.It felt like she was playing us, said Jared, 25, one of several jurors who spoke to reporters outside the courthouse, none of whom gave full names. The second her lawyer started questioning her, she would start crying. ... That could be realistic, but I feel lm pretty good at reading people, and I felt as if it was false.The case included X-rated testimony from the men about poolside group sex at a mansion Rose rented in Beverly Hills in the summer of 2013 and multiple sexual encounters throughout an August night and into the next morning.The woman, who had previously dated Rose for less than two years, denied having sex at his place, saying she had a few tequila shots and felt drugged before going home. Her lawyer said the defense fabricated the story to make it look like she had willingly had sex with all three men.Her testimony was impaired by a blackout that erased most memories of the night except for flashes that included the three having sex with her at her apartment as she slipped in and out of consciousness.The woman pieced together events of the night by reviewing text messages to Rose, but the defense used those to say she was lucid and sober and had been angling for sex throughout the day and had invited him over.The issue for the jury was whether she consented to sex or was too intoxicated to do so. The men alll said she was alert and willing when she stopped the three outside her bedroom door and said, One at a time.ddddddddddddhe tense two-week civil trial sidelined Rose during several preseason games with the Knicks as he attempts to prove himself with the new team and rebound from major knee injuries that hurt his career with the Bulls in his native Chicago.Rose, 28, is in the final year of a five-year deal that will pay him $21.3 million and the case threatened more than his bank account and reputation. Defense lawyer Mark Baute told jurors a lot was riding on their decision.Any finding he had sexually assaulted the woman could have violated a morals clause in his player contract and a lucrative deal with Adidas and jeopardized his career and the future of family and friends who rely on him for financial support, Baute said.Defense lawyers tarred the woman as a gold-digging liar who tried to sway jurors through emotions. They claimed she was angry he had dumped her, so she set him up and brought the lawsuit in hopes of a big payoff.They portrayed Rose and his childhood pals, Ryan Allen and Randall Hampton, who both work for him, as victims in the case.All three men were innocent from Day 1, Baute said.The womans lawyer called the men sexual deviants who conspired to gang rape her after she was drunk and incapable of consenting to sex. Attorney Waukeen McCoy said the case wasnt about money, but about holding the men accountable for moral and legal wrongdoing.Los Angeles police have an open investigation into the womans claims.The Associated Press does not generally name people who say they are victims of sex crimes.The accuser, who had become emotional and trembled at times while testifying, buried her head in her hands as the verdict was read. She left the courthouse without comment.Her attorney said she was devastated and he was considering appeal options.Its a shame for women, for this country, that a celebrity can come into court and slut-shame a woman like my client, attorney Waukeen McCoy said.After dismissing the jury, Judge Michael W. Fitzgerald offered his best wishes to the woman with her studies and to Rose in his career except when the Knicks play the Lakers. ' ' '
