[2] Two years later, Nickson called Alec Martinez' goal in double overtime to give the Kings their second Cup.
[3] Nickson later recalled that he and Miller had had time to pace themselves for their Cup-winning calls in 2012, as the Kings had put the game out of reach by scoring three unanswered goals on a five-minute power play in the first period.
