FRANKFURT - The bottom of the Bundesliga table reads like an honour roll — Stuttgart, Hamburger SV, Borussia Dortmund.Between them, the three clubs have 13 Bundesliga titles, including some of the more recent ones. Stuttgart was champion in 2007, Dortmund won the title in 2011 and 2012 and was runner-up the last two seasons.Now all three clubs are fighting against relegation. About the only consolation for the three is that they are not far from safety. Only five points separate last-place Dortmund and 10th-place Mainz.Here are some things to know going in the 14th Bundesliga round this weekend:___DESPERATE DORTMUNDBorussia Dortmund has won only one of its last 10 matches and already has eight defeats. The last time Dortmund was bottom of the table so far into the season was in 1985-86, when it barely escaped relegation.Coach Juergen Klopp, in his seventh season with Dortmund, was visibly depressed after last weeks 2-0 defeat in Frankfurt but has vowed to stay on, saying he has enough experience fighting relegation from his days in Mainz.Dortmund badly needs a confidence boost but faces a tough home match on Friday against Hoffenheim, which is capable of scoring plenty of goals but also tends to concede many.Central defender Mats Hummels could return after injury and several other players are fit again. We have more options now and we may use them, Klopp said.___BYE-BYE BAYERN?With Bayern Munich seven points clear of Wolfsburg at the top, few people believe Bayern can be caught as it chases its third straight title.Wolfsburg playmaker Kevin de Bruyne thinks finishing second is hard enough.I always want to be first but everyone knows how difficult it is to achieve that in the Bundesliga. Second place would be very good but maybe Bayern will have a weaker phase, de Bruyne told Kicker magazine ahead of Wolfsburgs match against Hannover.___NEUERS RECORDBayern goalkeeper Manuel Neuer is one of the three candidates for FIFAs player of the year award after helping Germany win the World Cup title. But his Bundesliga record is impressive too — in 108 matches for Bayern, he has kept a clean sheet in 60 of them, a 56-per cent rate.One player to watch out for when Bayern plays Bayer Leverkusen in Munich on Saturday is Stefan Kiessling. The Leverkusen striker has scored six goals against Neuer.Bayern is already 10 points ahead of third-place Leverkusen. Munich is undefeated this season and in 17 consecutive Bundesliga matches going back to last season.___STUTTGART TURNAROUND?Huub Stevens began his second term as coach of Stuttgart with a 4-1 win in Freiburg and hopes the upswing will continue against Schalke.Stuttgart has the worst home record with four points, Schalke has the poorest away record with three.Stevens is best known in the Bundesliga for his stint in charge of Schalke.___AUGSBURGS RISEAugsburg has become the surprise of the season so far and sits fourth before visiting Cologne. Augsburg has seven wins and six defeats, with no draws.We may have less quality but we compensate with our team spirit, captain Paul Verhaegh said. Our advantage is that this team has been playing together for several years. We run a lot and its not comfortable for our opponents to play against us.

Chicagos recent mastery of the Kings completely came apart in one crazy period, and the Blackhawks are headed to the West Coast to figure out how to get it back. When the teams return Saturday night for Game 3 of the Western Conference finals, the Kings hope to build on their five-goal third period in a 6-2 victory on Wednesday night, evening the series in dramatic fashion. Until Game 2, Chicago had beaten the Kings six straight times and in nine of the clubs last 10 meetings dating back to last seasons conference finals. The Blackhawks had been faster and more offensively creative than the Kings, but it all went away in a barrage of goals that set a distinctly different tone for Game 3. "Its been a series thats gone in their favour for the last couple of years now," Greene said Thursday at the Kings training complex. "Weve got to do our best to change that. If we could put a finger on it, we would. But its up to us to figure it out and to keep it going and get some more wins. ... I dont think they have a mental edge on us, no. Youve just got to go out and play." Both teams essentially took Thursday off, gathering only for travel or a team meeting. While the Kings downplayed the importance of momentum from their win, the Blackhawks had an extra day to absorb the shock of their second four-goal defeat in the last six playoff games. "I woke up this morning way more angry than I exited the game," Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville said Thursday before the team flew to the West Coast. "Normally its the other way around. ... A game like that is a game that should get your attention, and I think thats where were at." Quenneville felt the loss was a significant setback for the Blackhawks only because of how it occurred. The two-time champion coach couldnt recall such an abrupt reversal of momentum against Chicago in any game this season. Quenneville thought his team essentially played a perfect game for the first 38 minutes, taking a 2-0 lead before it all fell apart with Los Angeles first goal. The Blackhawks arent a team that falls apart, but the Kings have a wway of making opponents do things they never imagined under playoff pressure.dddddddddddd "I think it was probably a little bit of a shock to us all," Chicago defenceman Nick Leddy said. "But thats how playoffs are." The Kings feel it wasnt just momentum that gave them home-ice advantage in this series. Los Angeles had been making strides against the defending champions for months, and coach Darryl Sutter thought his team played much better in its series-opening defeat than its victory. "I dont think it was momentum," Sutter said. "It was more once we were down two (goals), I think it was our ability — and were good at that — our ability to stay with it and stick with the game." That game is showing a few unexpected facets lately. The Kings are now the highest-scoring team in the Stanley Cup playoffs with 3.25 goals per game, a shocking number for a defence-first team that struggled mightily to score for much of the regular season. But the Kings success in Game 2 was due to its usual strengths on defence. Los Angeles defence on Chicagos top scorers was uniformly solid. Anze Kopitar shadowed Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews, who didnt record a shot, while Patrick Kane failed to score a point for the second straight game. The Kings excelled on special teams, killing a two-man Chicago advantage and scoring the tying and go-ahead goals on their own power plays. Los Angeles also dominated the faceoff circle, following up its impressive work late in the second round against Anaheim. "Theyre huge momentum-swingers every time," Greene said. "A good (penalty-kill) can do wonders for you in terms of momentum, and a good power play. The coaches do a good job emphasizing you dont need to score on the power play. You just need to make sure you build momentum and get a good two minutes going in their zone. Last night, everything was clicking. Those were two huge power-play goals for us there. They really turned around the game in our favour." Bruising forward Andrew Shaw is expected to be available to the Blackhawks for Game 3 after missing Wednesdays game with a lower-body injury, his seventh straight game out of the lineup. The Kings arent likely to see defenceman Robyn Regehr, whose knee injury has kept him out for eight games. ' ' '
